Glad that it went to penos and not another 30 minutes (although I think we would have won it going on how well we are playing for that half) so that we got some decent training done without killing ourselves. A long session to go after all.

BorneTobyWilde · 04-08-2019 05:19PM

Could have been 6-1 had we taken our chances, 9 shots on target, 57% possession.

Winner of Shield have only went on to win Premier League 8 times. It could be our year stat wise.

Because Liverpool are going to Turkey next midweek

Plenty positives in that

SM01 · 04-08-2019 05:19PM

Very happy with the performance, especially the 2nd half. Bodes well for the season.

Bit annoyed they couldn't win it. It does feel like a pretend final. It's not the biggest deal, but it's such a great way to start the season.

Was a very close match.

On the penalties. Really think a GK should be allowed off his line once the player starts his run. I mean there is a MASSIVE advantage for the penalty taker as it is. Making things a little easier for the GK would be a little fairer.

I'm a bit annoyed as well but still.....I'm amazed that Mó was able to put in the shift he did. Gives me hope that he's going to run amok.

Firmino was sharper than I'd thought he'd be too

BorneTobyWilde · 04-08-2019 05:22PM

We look ready, and the bench looked strong, with Brewster to come. A lot to be happy about.

Grayditch · 04-08-2019 05:24PM

Great game of a Sunday.

04-08-2019 05:26PM

Impressed with the intensity of the that game.

Agent Coulson · 04-08-2019 05:27PM

Mane back tomorrow as well.

citytillidie · 04-08-2019 05:27PM

Much better pre season performance than last Sunday anyways

Turtyturd · 04-08-2019 05:37PM

Fans in London doing us proud on the insufferable front...

Easier view

hon the Boyz haha

We'll be a victim of a lot of soft penalties, as will everyone else. VAR will make this season like no other.

The most insufferable ones aren’t even on that bus.

The biggest plus from today is that we saw an effective tactic against the high line we persist with on free kicks. Other teams will have watched what City did today, particularly the bottom half teams who tend to have their better chances against us from set pieces, and now we can work out how to defend that situation.

It was bound to happen eventually but now there's no excuse and we didn't drop any points because it was the charity shield.

Today showed that we're not a million miles away from City, our fitness and sharpness isn't too bad, and we have plenty to work on with 5 days to go until opening day

rossie1977 · 04-08-2019 06:07PM

19 shots on goal or whatever it was and you should really be winning that game.

I can't imagine how potent current Liverpool side would be with a peak Torres or Suarez up top and Firmino playing more of an attacking midfield role.

In fairness Bravo was probably man of the match and Walker pulled off one of the finest clearances you'll ever see. I wouldn't put it all down to poor finishing. I'm actually more encouraged at where we are now that I was a week or so ago. Didn't expect Firmino or Salah to be ready for the start of the season but they looked sharper than they should be after a week of preseason

All Bravo's saves I saw were completely routine. We kept kicking the ball straight at him.

Turtyturd · 04-08-2019 07:10PM

Tbf he generally concedes those ones.

I reckon he hammers it into his own net 98 times out of a hundred.

Even more impressive then

Potential Underachiever · 04-08-2019 07:47PM

Poor Mo wouldn't hit a barndoor with a banjo today, some say he looked sharp but he was rusty as fck regards finishing, serious greed at times too. Still, can see him get a hattrick against Norwich.

How the fcuk is KDB man of the match.

As far as I could understand, Hoddle's only reason for giving it to him was because he was fit. Hoddle is a mental case.

He also said 'because I played his position' or something else as stupid.

Homeward bound on Aer Lingus now from LGW. Great game with plenty of talking points. Some heat in London all day.

Penalties were an added bonus for the young lad. Disappointed not to lift the trophy but a great day trip supporting the reds!!!

Two whole fixtures to fulfill over the course of six days. What an ordeal - it's entirely unreasonable to expect this level of application from these massively renumerated professional sportsmen. Sure they'll be entirely wrecked - the little dotes.

Turtyturd · 04-08-2019 08:11PM

It’s remunerated...your post are stupid enough without adding stuff like that.

The year before last, when he scored an incredible amount, he generally took 3-4 shots before he scored in the earlier part of the season.
I'm hopeful he will score more theirs year than last. He looked very sharp and up for the game today. Bodes well.
You seem a little unhappy with some of the team today by the way.
