The one thing that is so apperant is we have no one controlling the game for us, the defence is also looking pretty poor!!

What is the purpose of those pre-season games? picking the reserve team? keeping players in shape? testing new tactics?

Seems a waste of time playing nothing but reserve players ,doesn't offer anything to team buildup ,nothing to putting our starters in shape ,just loss of confidence...

Core blind me that N'gog is awful isn't he, can't believe he was back up to Torres for all of last season. Come back Dundee all is not lost!

OK first half. Still think this back 5 would be OK next week, but we'll need more in the middle of the field and up front

Lucas and Spearing getting completely overrun in Midfield especially Spearing he,s running around aimlessly trying to chase the ball ...needs to concentrate on holding his position more instead of trying to cover the whole pitch ....
impressed with the Germans ball retention though ..... Hodgson less than pleased with the display

He's been shocking no awareness, first touch is shocking, he couldn't trapo a fart nevermind a ball, looks very weak, the only thing he does well is close down. If he don't pile on at least 10lb I fear for his future at Anfield.

1) building match fitness
2) having a look at some of the youngsters and squad players
3) preparation for a Europa Cup qualifier in less than a week's time
4) giving you something to moan about

Pre-season or not, they should get a talking too at half time.

Same lacklustre performances we saw last season in pre-season, no creativity etc etc

1. bulilding match fitness for our reserve players? as long as we play the other permiership reserves we should be ok i guess.
2. Fair enough
3. That's no preparation unless you wanna throw away the game.
4. Mission acheived.

Not sure if you noticed but this was a World Cup year and all but a couple of our first-teamers have been away with their national sides and will not be in the side for a few weeks yet. Ergo, the squad players get some much needed match fitness and a chance to impress the gaffer ahead of the qualifier on Thursday. Given that the likes of Stevie and Carra won't be traveling to Macedonia, quite a few of the lads out there today will need some match time under their belts if they're to be effective on Thursday.

1. Hodgson has all the first team players back at Melwood with the sports & science team as he wants them fully fit and firing on all cylinders for the coming season. Sorry if you know more than them.

2. n/a

3. Hodgson has stated Europa is not a priority, 4th spot is.

4. n/a.

5. Wish people would listen to interviews with the manager in future rather than jumping the gun. :cool:
