1-0 Stuttgart, nice backheel in the buildup

Like the fluidity between Ox and Mo so far

Lovely goal by Stuttgart.

Nice little pass and move goal to be fair.

Hoping ox turns out to be boss in that false 9 role

Just watching the VFB game. Konate...the effin size of him!

Drinks Sangria · « **Reply #448 on:** July 20, 2021, 06:08:14 pm »

Harvey Elliott... Quality there. Keita has looked sharp.

1-1

Nice pass by Miler to Tsimikas to Mane

Kostas has played well

HeartAndSoul · « **Reply #450 on:** July 20, 2021, 06:11:17 pm »

Kostas has been really good.

Agreed. Nice cross from Tsimikas for the goal too.

A booking for a Stuttgart player, don't need anyone jumping in on our lads

Wullie160975 · « **Reply #456 on:** July 20, 2021, 06:17:06 pm »

Wouldn't surprise me to see Elliott on the bench a lot this season and being the one to come and try to mix things up if needed.

jonkrux · « **Reply #457 on:** July 20, 2021, 06:18:32 pm »

Harvey Elliot is so good to watch.

Another stupid tackle by them, this time on Naby

Dim Glas · « **Reply #459 on:** July 20, 2021, 06:19:11 pm »

VfB not holding back with these tackles.

Caligula? · « **Reply #460 on:** July 20, 2021, 06:19:46 pm »

Are we thinking that Karius is going to be fourth choice behind Kelleher and Adrian? I can't believe we haven't shifted him for both our sakes. He's nowhere near good enough.

jonkrux · « **Reply #461 on:** July 20, 2021, 06:19:46 pm »

these tackles are ludicrous

They do seem a bit needlessly hyped up, for what is essentially an open training session. Two heavy, misstimed challenges inside two minutes, the second one being the type of thing would be checked for a red in a proper game.

Konate - out of position a lot isn't he?

Almost a handful of times when he was quite far up the pitch and the play progressed behind him. No real urgency to get back into position either. Milner was having to cover for him a fair bit.

But hey, it's pre-season! As long as he doesn't do that against Norwich then all good.

Samie · « **Reply #464 on:** July 20, 2021, 06:21:59 pm »

These dickheads do know it's a fuckin' 30 minute pre season friendly right?

chromed · « **Reply #465 on:** July 20, 2021, 06:22:31 pm »

Harvey and Kostas very impressive.

The latter should be working more on his delivery imo.

Gray Hamster · « **Reply #466 on:** July 20, 2021, 06:22:36 pm »

Glad nobody injured. Vfb hanging on in the end with some crazy tackles. Thought a number of our players looked sharp

John C · « **Reply #467 on:** July 20, 2021, 06:22:43 pm »

Boss to watch that, lovely 2nd 30 mins

Drinks Sangria · « **Reply #468 on:** July 20, 2021, 06:22:46 pm »

Not bad, Stuttgart went with a strong line up and looked pretty good, we did well. Good to see Elliott dominating possession like a senior pro, he's really got something that kid.

In the first game, a bit lifeless largely but good for some players to get out there and be involved with the senior pros.

You can get 7/5 odds for Liverpool to win this against Stuttgart with bet365.

I know it’s a 30 min pre season friendly but that seems very generous considering the quality we have starting in this one.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

yeah the 2nd game decent. VfB’s mad tackles aside! But they put out a strong line up too.

Elliott is going to be a fun player to watch grow with this team.

I thought Konate was fantastic today. Held the line excellently and when offside was breached put on the after burners. He is seriously rapid. Ball retention, first touch, passing accuracy were all brill when it could have been rusty preseason.

Critiquing a 30 minute pre season game after Kloppo has killed them these past two weeks like this?

He definitely has a very languid style to his game, but getting the line right is probably one of the toughest asks for any new centre backs in our system. Davies and Matip were a bit up and down in the first game too.

Really? I though he look good given it was his debut and a rather artificial match. The guy can play football all right.

Dr Stu-Pid · « **Reply #475 on:** July 20, 2021, 06:29:02 pm »

Elliot really looks like the real deal with so much composure on the ball and some great vision as well. Would love to see him get game time this season rather than going out on loan.

Tsimikas also looked really good and having a genuine option available to give Robertson some rest now and then will be huge.

From Karius's perspective, he'll be on far more money at Liverpool than he'll get anywhere else so may as well see out his contract and then see what options he has to rebuild his career. He's so bad that he'd have to drop a number of levels down to find a club willing to take a punt on him.

I'm sure we'd have sold him if we could but I highly doubt that clubs are queuing up to take him off our hands and those that would won't be at the level to tempt Karius to give up his lucrative contract.

Was just nice to see Liverpool again in any form of football. Good for the lads to get fitness in their legs in a very nice setting to play football. Not really a fan of 30 mins games but I guess in modern football it is a try it and see thing. On to the next game.

We are judging a player after a 30 minute pre-season friendly, in a team that has a very specific way of playing and holding the line.

Yeah things never change come pre-season

Loved how Harvey passed the ball forward every time he had it. a couple of times I was expecting him to play it back but had the confidence in both feet to play the pass up instead.

Kostas looked decent as well forward and defending
