Finally got to watch the match (had a 6:15 tee time, am, match started at 5:30am) Aqua was awesome, N'gog is a completely different player when he's got some confidence.  Kelly looked really good too.

  Cole looked c.rap, Soto and Wilson were shocking.  Flanno and Robinson each had some good bits and some poor ones, youth was showing.

  Coady has been very impressive in the two games thus far.  Really enjoying seeing Adam not only spraying balls all over the pitch, but you can see the strength of character in him, a true leader.

The Liverpool team stopped by Singapore for a training sessions for the invited fans. i was there, thanks to Standard Chartered who conveniently gave the best tickets and goodie bags to their own staff.

even though there were numerous names missing such as Reina, Johnson, Dalglish, Gerrard, Downing, Henderson, Suarez and Lucas...it was still a very nice experience to see others such as Cole, Meireles, Aquilani, Carroll, Adam and my fave Agger up close.

Adam truly has a lovely left foot. he made the crowd go "ooh" a couple of times with his shots. Martin Kelly is really a charismatic guy! i like him. after he scored, he celebrated as though it was a real match. another fan fave was Agger, with his new mohawk and tattoos throughout his left arm. can't wait to see him back in action. for a defender, his accuracy whereby shooting is concerned is superb.

Kuyt is very friendly with the supporters, always acknowledging them while Shelvey had a huge group chanting his name. would give his confidence a great lift seeing the support he has. oh and Insua! omg i'm not sure if he has become more muscular or fat but i swear he has become wider :D

i believe the team has left for UK already by now, and one of my friends in SC leaked to me which hotel they were staying at. i was very tempted to go in but i decided not to as they were probably tired or sleeping as it was 11++ by then. i'll meet them again another time :) and the weather isn't exactly friendly to Westerners, scorching hot. really wanted Carra to sign my copy of his bio but didn't get a chance to meet him.

security was bloody tight and i was surprised at the location because i expected it to be at a different venue where the supporters could be closer to the pitch but they chose a stadium where there was a track in between. and the condition of the pitch was ghastly. even though it was just a training session, i expected better. it was horrible, like a Sunday amateur team's field.

Agger and Kelly :buttrock.

i'll upload the photos when i have the time. for those who want to, just send me an email and i'll add you on Facebook. i'll be uploading the pics up there tonight.

the guy in the middle in front of Robinson was training alone with one of the coaches.
