Salah’s lopped his hair off. Didn’t recognise him playing for a minute!
Everton had a shocker today, 3-0 down to Blackpool in 11 minutes.

2-0 up bit it does look like they might be swimming soon looking at the pitch.
Easy for Liverpool, 3-0.

France could have a team of centre backs soon enough.
Meanwhile in England...

England could have a team of centre backs too, the quality of them on the other hand

We've got a friendly at 6pm tonight against MK Dons. It's free to watch too if you're UK based:

Looks like we're keeping with tradition of putting in 1 shocking performance per pre-season. 2-0 down to Salzburg after 15 minutes, gifting them both goals and generally being all over the place.
edit: proper pre-season referreeing too. Mane through 1 on 1 with the keeper and the Salzburg defender slices him down on the edge of the area. Centre of goal, no other defender within a mile and he gives a yellow card

VVD's just had his eye split open and we could've conceded another 2 goals.

Maguire slipped the ref a backhander?

Cracking finish by Brewster.
Edit: And again! Do not send this kid out on loan again, he needs to be on the bench for the first team.

I'd rather have him coming off the bench than Origi and I think he deserves a chance to prove himself this season. Can always send him on loan in January.

The problem is he'd only be a bench option. Granted you never know what you're going to get from Origi but he's capable of playing wide if you're without Mane or Salah and I just can't see Brewster starting through the middle if Firmino was out - it's much more likely that you'll see Salah or Mane play there and switch the system slightly.
I think the fact that Origi (and Shaqiri) has been left out of the squad today and the other day is a sign that the club are trying to move him on but I'm sure if he leaves then we'll bring another forward in. Do you then keep Brewster as a 5th option or send him somewhere to play every week?

If Brewster is loaned out this season it will likely be to a premier league club which makes it a bit more awkward. I don't think he wants another year in the championship and apparently doesn't want to move abroad.
Palace or Leeds imo.

Salzburg could've had 3 reds today, pathetic amount of elbows and late tackles for a friendly.
It was Salzburg's Cup final - the last time we played them we signed their best player afterall. There were a few naughty challenges but the non red for the foul on Mane was just funny - you couldn't get a more clear goalscoring opportunity and he gave a yellow. That said, I'm sure Klopp wouldn't have wanted to play vs 10 men. It was a competitive workout against a side that (iinm) have played a few more games than us and ahead in their preparations.
