I really wish he gets his Sh*t together, I think he can be an amazing back-up for Firmino.

Last year of his contract and not many clubs appear to be all that willing to pay us money and cover his wages. Might be better off keeping him, if he's happy to be a super sub.

I've given up on him ever being 100% fit 

He looks sharp and fit and linking up well with the new guys. But we've seen it all with Studge.. you just know he's gonna get injured and it's frustrating as on his day he's one of the best finishers around.

He's only 28 though and still has 3/4 good seasons left in him. He's a better option than Ings Solanke and Origi combined, and has more football ability.

I'd use him and Shaqiri as back up for our strikers this season.

Nice to see Salah and Mane back in training

Do you know who is showing it?

I've checked and it's not on BT sport or Skysports.

Can't find the right thread for it, but there's a documentary on bbc2 tonight about Shankly. Looks good.

It's Premier Sports and it's free if you have virgin.

Thanks

Matip out injured within 15m,,,
Made out of crisps this lad...Would really like to see another Quality CB,,with all due respect to Dejan the Best defender in the world

Big Virgil 1-0.

Im watching it on lfc.tv Kazza.

VVD scores one 

1-0 HT

Typical pre season first half. Some good moments from us, good lil workout.

Would be nice to see Salah coming on 2nd half.

Matip seems like he will be on and off with his injuries. We really need to consider getting a stable CB.

Just to add Origi looks awful.
