The Official Liverpool FC Thread [Vol 10]
Discussion
Next week will tell us more, I haven't seen anything that looks like a tested and consistent formation or even personnel and whilst that may be "typical" it concerns me.
I think we will wobble for 4 / 6 games before Bren sorts his tactics out, again I would prefer he did thus prior to the start of the season and then tinker.
Not long now red men!

Firmino looked good today, especially when looking to tackle back. Benteke's goal was instinctive which was very much not Carroll like.
Strength in depth no doubt but I also agree tha it will be five or six games before we 'gel'. At least we don't have to rely on Sturridge for goals now.

Any info on the game fella's.. Who replaced Allen? Did Sakho play full game? Was he any good? Moreno play well? Couldn't find a stream sorry for all questions.
Teixeira came on for Allen and played well. I'm pretty sure sakho played 90. Moreno did not play well , giving away silly fouls and passes straight to the opposition.n_const said:

Moreno did not play well , giving away silly fouls and passes straight to the opposition.With Benteke and Firmino going off after 70 odd minutes I think we'll see them at least in the match day squad next week. I wouldn't start Moreno if I'm honest. Nor would I start Lovren but I think the manager's mind is made up here.
I had the stream in the background and even though the midfield today was clearly team B, I thought the pressing was good with Firmino particularly impressing. Lazer was average, even against this level, Can looked decent but still in experienced and the young lad Texiera looks like he'll get some league cup type games this season.
Positives were Benteke and Firmino playing together and that first goal was more than decent, even in a friendly. BUT I am anxious about next week, our defence still looks like it gets easily overrun. Would have liked to have seen us play a higher level of opposition over the pre season.

Haven't read the article myself yet, but I know there are a number of Tomkins fans on here: http://tomkinstimes.com/2015/08/liverpool-fcs-big-...
I agree there RT.
I think Markovic won't get a look in this season. Ibe is ahead of him. Then there's Lallana.
Hoping Benteke can produce goals like that most week as with Firm an Cout around him he will get the chances in the box for sure.
Defensively is a worry still. I just want Rodgers to choose a combo and stick with it but with Moreno cocking up and cocking up last season too i'd give Gomez a start to the season at LB.
