Wish all the best to the players, staff, fans and everyone associated with Liverpool. First match back after such tragic news, and no idea how the players will handle the emotions throughout the match and future matches. In time, a sense of normalcy will return, but for now, we mourn Jota and come together as only Liverpool can.
13 Jul 2025 14:11:50
Excellent post to start things off, Mango. Difficult to know what to say that hasn't already been said. #20 RIP God bless YNWA
13 Jul 2025 14:48:54
Hello guys

13 Jul 2025 14:49:22
any news on line up?

13 Jul 2025 14:49:49
Yes Mango, the sooner we return to normal the better
13 Jul 2025 14:52:04
Beautiful
13 Jul 2025 14:57:01
Chiesa has become more Chubby now (rofl)
13 Jul 2025 14:57:46
YNWA Diogo ❤️
13 Jul 2025 14:59:15
are the new boys on bench?
13 Jul 2025 14:59:59
Yes, apart from Wirtz who is being given a break as he played internationals after the season finished
13 Jul 2025 15:01:27
any free link?
13 Jul 2025 15:01:42
Match is on ITV
13 Jul 2025 15:05:33
Chiesa looks a stone over weight, which is concerning.
13 Jul 2025 15:05:47
Hi folks, this feels weird especially having just shed a few tears. Hope everyone is OK
13 Jul 2025 15:05:56
I'm surpised to see Tsimikas starting. Was expecting Robbo or Kerkez to play. We are over stocked in that area.
13 Jul 2025 15:07:12
Hiya Zedd.
13 Jul 2025 15:07:46
Hey Rome
13 Jul 2025 15:08:55
Hi Rome
13 Jul 2025 15:09:19
A post earlier about Robbo needing factor 50 to play in Saudi - Stephenson must need factor 150! Looking forward to seeing him play, a name that’s gone under the radar recently
13 Jul 2025 15:10:31
Stephenson impressed last pre season, and seems composed on the ball. Anyone know his position because I swear I have seen him at RB, CB an CM, quite versatile.
13 Jul 2025 15:11:20
Could grow into our Swiss-army-Milner?
13 Jul 2025 15:11:51
is he scot?
13 Jul 2025 15:12:13
Chiesa’s weight is troubling? Unless he takes the Ricky Hatton approach to off season?
13 Jul 2025 15:12:53
Hi all, can't watch the game but hope you're all well!
13 Jul 2025 15:13:16
Not gonna lie, Chiesa looks knackered already
13 Jul 2025 15:13:21
Hey Salah!
13 Jul 2025 15:14:40
Rio in a nutshell, has trickery and dynamism, but his end product isn't there yet. Great potential, but nowhere near ready. 16, so has plenty of time.
13 Jul 2025 15:14:49
Stephenson is English, born around Durham, joined our academy from Sunderland’s a few years back. Plays as defender or midfielder
13 Jul 2025 15:14:53
Pre season will do Chiesa good. He'll get his weight down to 15 stone
13 Jul 2025 15:14:55
Afternoon chaps
13 Jul 2025 15:15:11
Afternoon WYred
13 Jul 2025 15:15:12
Nyoni looks great here
13 Jul 2025 15:15:22
Rome, that’s always my hope too 😂
13 Jul 2025 15:15:43
Yeah, the academy kids don’t look out of place
13 Jul 2025 15:16:13
Wouldn't be surprised if Nyoni becomes our rotational player for Grav in a year or two. Just needs to fill out and keep developing. I like what I see, though.
13 Jul 2025 15:16:28
I apologise if my sarcasm offends. I've not joined the must be kind to our players brigade.
13 Jul 2025 15:17:38
The Grav turn returns, love to see it
13 Jul 2025 15:18:26
Not being fit is inexcusable. Not being in the right frame of mind after the last couple of weeks is completely understandable
13 Jul 2025 15:18:43
100% Zedd
13 Jul 2025 15:18:56
Correct mate
13 Jul 2025 15:19:41
It might be a Firmino case. I remember Firmino came back heavily overweight once for pre season, but lost it in like a week or 2.
13 Jul 2025 15:20:33
For a keeper with bad distribution, that weren't half bad lol
13 Jul 2025 15:20:40
Hope so Mango, although I feel he's the type of player to get up to speed, make us think he's back on it. Only to get injured and back to square one
13 Jul 2025 15:20:43
Has Bradley grown even a couple more inches since May?! Could he grow into the Konate replacement (probably in the next 2-4 weeks at this rate?!)
13 Jul 2025 15:21:04
100% WYred
13 Jul 2025 15:21:24
Mango, I was thinking that too, not bad distn at all so far
13 Jul 2025 15:24:07
You know for a CAM, Szobo really doesn't like to receive the ball on the turn and run at the defence. He tends to keep the ball moving. Is that instruction? Or, his own reluctance?
13 Jul 2025 15:24:14
I tell you what, Rio’s not far away at all. Looked really good so far and no fear…
13 Jul 2025 15:24:55
I don’t think Szob is a natural CAM. I think he will be a revelation at 8 in front of Gravy and behind Flo
13 Jul 2025 15:25:18
Think the lad needs a loan, but he definitely looks the part. If he can play somewhere week in week out, he might be able to force his way into the squad
13 Jul 2025 15:25:50
Saying that does he need to be a certain age for a loan?
13 Jul 2025 15:26:24
WY absolutely, the presenter said about this being a showcase for him maybe for PNE - not far away from home. However I think you need to be 17 for a loan? Isn’t he just 17 or about to be?
13 Jul 2025 15:27:05
I would keep Rio in the youth section for a year or two, to develop his decision making, etc. A loan could scupper his potential, as they will likely play him more than his body will allow. He is still growing and, with Liverpool, we will be a lot more cautious. Loan teams will only think of their need to play him.
13 Jul 2025 15:27:51
Szobo lad, come on
13 Jul 2025 15:29:05
Almost made up for it!
13 Jul 2025 15:30:13
Bradley being given a lot of license to move into the centre of midfield. Which is strange because Trent last year was not given that leisure. Starting to get why Konate wants to leave. Has to deal with refuses to defend Trent, who then finally leaves, only to learn no one will be playing at right back :P
13 Jul 2025 15:30:20
Happy new season live chat folks. Been out - anything of interest so far?
13 Jul 2025 15:30:23
We would need to be very strict on the structure but if your good enough your old enough. Unfortunately we can't risk it so the only way is a loan.
13 Jul 2025 15:31:35
Not gonna lie, some of Nyoni's quick thinking and ball distribution is moving me
13 Jul 2025 15:31:57
Rio is giving me a ‘first couple of seasons SASAS’ Sterling vibe
13 Jul 2025 15:32:19
I’ve been very impressed with all 3 academy boys
13 Jul 2025 15:33:12
Even Stephenson, he looks really composed on the ball. You wouldn't know he wasn't in the first team until now.
13 Jul 2025 15:33:36
Trent who? 😉
13 Jul 2025 15:33:48
BRADLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
13 Jul 2025 15:34:10
That was actually good feet by Chiesa!
13 Jul 2025 15:34:23
Might have to re-evaluate my opinion of Rio with movement like that. And, fairplay Chiesa, very unselfish.
13 Jul 2025 15:34:55
Fairly good play all round. Apart from Szobo like, he absolutely didn’t mean that 🤣
13 Jul 2025 15:35:15
I actually need Chiesa to work out, that song being consigned to a maybe player would be gutting
13 Jul 2025 15:35:49
Honestly the further away Szobo is to the goal, the better he is. Which is mad because he is our CAM :P
13 Jul 2025 15:36:02
Not any more Mango
13 Jul 2025 15:37:54
I can still see Szobo playing a fair few gams at CAM, with Wirtz playing at LW also. But agree, Wirtz was bought to be our CAM. Slot likes to tinker by the game, and I can see a lot more moving parts taking place game by game this season.
13 Jul 2025 15:39:25
It's nice to have options, hopefully we have plenty up front too
13 Jul 2025 15:39:51
Just a thought, but is it possible, Liverpool are happy to let Diaz's contract run its course because they believe in 2 years that Rio will be ready to be a fixture in the team? Maybe his replacement is already at the club. And, with Gakpo we are already strong in that position.
13 Jul 2025 15:40:28
Yeh i pretty sure
13 Jul 2025 15:40:37
I can see that Mango, like we can all see, Rio is not far away at all
13 Jul 2025 15:40:48
Liverpool will be relaxed over Diaz
13 Jul 2025 15:41:08
Is he on the bench? Can’t remember
13 Jul 2025 15:41:33
No zed
13 Jul 2025 15:42:08
I'm also going to swear, if Nunez stays, which I don't think he will, but if he did I actually believe we'd see an entirely different player. He plays on emotion and with the circumstances I think it could light a fire.
13 Jul 2025 15:42:34
Diaz and a few others doing individual work back at the AXA
13 Jul 2025 15:43:38
Ah ok
13 Jul 2025 15:44:11
Nunez will and needs to leave, we can't keep saying this season will be his season. It will be up there with Arteta phase 8, in things that are exasperating. Nunez may very well move to the Saudi league.
13 Jul 2025 15:46:37
Isn’t Sinama Pongolle still playing? I swear this year will be his year!
13 Jul 2025 15:46:59
Thing is that Nunez may need to leave but the list of possible replacements who are available and not a stupid money is a bit thin.
13 Jul 2025 15:47:17
I think he will go, but with everything going on he strikes me as someone that it'd actually effect positively in the long run (purely from a football perspective, obviously not emotional)
13 Jul 2025 15:48:14
Good defending from Stephenson
13 Jul 2025 15:50:40
Yeah, the list of strikers is actually shocking. I don't mean to be that 'back in my day' guy, but I remember when a good striker was difficult to acquire but the choices were bountiful. Now, the striker options are actually horrendous. And, worse, these strikers are being valued at 60+ million for what is an incremental improvement.
13 Jul 2025 15:50:41
Decent first half that. Only a friendly but good to be back and though the Jota tribute was good.
13 Jul 2025 15:52:02
Can’t remember why (other than denuding one club!) we haven’t been linked with Boniface? Haven’t seen him play regularly but have seen clips of him linking up well with Flo
13 Jul 2025 15:52:51
Some of the figures knocking around are disgraceful. £50-60m for run of the mill players
13 Jul 2025 15:54:46
Mango, and it’s not even as if the strikers are at clubs who are easy to negotiate with. Isak is at Newcastle and they won’t sell, Ekitike is at Frankfurt and they love rinsing teams, Sesko is at Red Bull and they really like rinsing teams, Osimhen at Napoli and the less said about De Laurentiis the better, Gyokeres is at Sporting and they’ve been moving the goalposts with Arsenal, psg don’t need to sell Ramos. Let’s hope we don’t go for Kane in desperation as his legs have gone.
13 Jul 2025 15:55:04
Bonfiace picked up a pretty significant injury last season, and teams are probably hesitant to move for him because of it. They'll likely wait to see how he handles this season, and if he can bounce back.
13 Jul 2025 15:55:41
Boniface is a bit Benteke with extra injury issues.
13 Jul 2025 15:56:19
REALLY excited to see Kerkez and Frimpong!
13 Jul 2025 15:56:39
So am I zed.
13 Jul 2025 15:57:19
Honestly, can see us sticking with Diaz as the ST, and waiting to see if anyone emerges as a viable option. Personally, I like Mateta, but even I don't think his signing would make sense. I desperately want a ST, to issue the work required by the wingers, in front of goal. But, there options are woeful.
13 Jul 2025 15:58:06
I don’t see Benteke in the clips I see of Boniface Vik, he’s got speed for a start! And doesn’t have the turning circle of a tanker! Fair play on the injury though, Mango
13 Jul 2025 15:58:26
Personally don’t like Diaz as a striker as he’s too weak to be a target man, his finishing is a bit ropey and he doesn’t have the all round game to be a false 9, square pegs and round holes.
13 Jul 2025 15:59:41
I wonder if Rodrygo could be a goer, esp given the Konate situation. He’s not a striker either but gives me Bobby vibes. I see the tabloids have been muck raking again about him though - teasing Salah and wanting Arsenal
13 Jul 2025 16:01:35
what is the score?
13 Jul 2025 16:02:29
0-1 to us - Bradley goal
13 Jul 2025 16:02:45
Great work from Rio and Fede in the build up
13 Jul 2025 16:03:05
Zed, think the few times I have seen (and it’s a small sample I’ll admit) he was a bit of a lumbering type. Not really impressed tbh.
13 Jul 2025 16:03:06
thanks Zedd
13 Jul 2025 16:03:49
How’s Frimpong got under armour on playing football in this Heat !!? I’m struggling with underwear never mind under armour 🤣
13 Jul 2025 16:03:56
Fair enuf Vik, same here, similarly small sample. NP Sami
13 Jul 2025 16:04:05
Rodrygo hates playing through the middle apparently. Gives me Antony vibes.
13 Jul 2025 16:04:15
LFC8 TMI 🙈
13 Jul 2025 16:04:39
🤣🤷🏻‍♂️
13 Jul 2025 16:04:59
🎶swing low…🎶
13 Jul 2025 16:05:08
Honestly, Rodrygo doesn't impress me. Particularly the number of goals he has had for a team like Real Madrid, is appalling. For the fee they are asking, 80 mill, we should look elsewhere
13 Jul 2025 16:05:45
I'm sold, Kerkez signing of the season :P
13 Jul 2025 16:06:21
Already excited to see Gakpo and Kerkez building an understanding
13 Jul 2025 16:07:35
Is Robbo auditioning to be VVDs understudy?! 😂
13 Jul 2025 16:08:09
Robbo at centre back is a recipe for disaster :P Thank god this is just pre season
13 Jul 2025 16:08:50
Woodman!!! 😂
13 Jul 2025 16:09:42
Woodman seems genuinely terrified of the ball, like Freddy Kruger will pop out of it
13 Jul 2025 16:10:58
Yeah I was thinking just that. Mamardashvilli looked really assured. Hope Woodman gets over his nerves, esp if we have a situation like last year when Jaros had to step in for a couple of games
13 Jul 2025 16:11:30
NUNEZ!!!!!!!!!!!
13 Jul 2025 16:11:47
Would you believe it?!
13 Jul 2025 16:12:32
Maybe the shaved version of Nunez might be the answer lol
13 Jul 2025 16:12:32
I’m prepared to give Nunez another chance, can’t lie.
13 Jul 2025 16:13:34
Maybe removing the ponytail has helped? If
13 Jul 2025 16:14:10
I’m coming around to that side of thinking Vik. He has the raw materials, i wonder if Wirtz could make him better, like Virg makes every defender he plays alongside look better
13 Jul 2025 16:15:09
I’ll go for that too Zed.
13 Jul 2025 16:15:15
Robbo doing everything in his power to not be considered for the CB position :P
13 Jul 2025 16:15:27
Blimey, decent pace from Robbo
13 Jul 2025 16:15:50
Feck sake, walked away to soak the kids and he scores. Was it a good goal?
13 Jul 2025 16:16:26
Nah, defender passed to the keeper, underhit it, and Nunez went around the keeper and score
13 Jul 2025 16:16:56
In fairness mango he’d have missed that last season
13 Jul 2025 16:17:00
If we can’t get the very best strikers because of the unrealistic costs being bandied about, and no one is willing to pay the asking price for Nunez then I’m all for giving him another chance. I do think if Diaz and chiesa goes though we need another top class forward
13 Jul 2025 16:17:02
Decent composure to take it round the keeper but that’s about it. Still a goals a goal for a confidence pkayer
13 Jul 2025 16:17:18
Agreed, hair would have gotten in his eyes, the shaved Nunez is a different beast
13 Jul 2025 16:17:26
Koumas seems to be trying to hard to impress
13 Jul 2025 16:17:50
Get in Darwin, come on show us what you can do 🙏🙏🙏
13 Jul 2025 16:18:36
Mango - shaved Darwin is also faster - better aerodynamics
13 Jul 2025 16:18:50
Isn't Nallo the guy who got himself sent off on his debut?? The lad looks completely lost at the moment, bless him.
13 Jul 2025 16:19:06
Darwin is garbage lads
13 Jul 2025 16:19:30
Yes, I’m surprised as Nallo was highly regarded, but doesn’t look at the races at the moment
13 Jul 2025 16:19:55
He has to sort his offsides and composure in the box. Forget the “chaos” story, I don’t think that does him any favours. Focus on timing runs and composure in the box. Less chaos, more focussed
13 Jul 2025 16:20:26
Woodman seems to be settling in a bit more now
13 Jul 2025 16:20:38
Just as you say that, Zed :P
13 Jul 2025 16:20:55
Kiss of death, Zedd
13 Jul 2025 16:22:23
Was an intentional deflection to gain yardage 😉😂
13 Jul 2025 16:22:44
High IQ game
13 Jul 2025 16:22:57
Milos 😍
13 Jul 2025 16:23:23
Is right Mango, Woodman is the thinking man’s keeper 👍
13 Jul 2025 16:24:32
Frimpong and Kerkez are moving me, ngl
13 Jul 2025 16:24:47
Bloody hell Frimpong is QUICK!
13 Jul 2025 16:24:55
I've played a round of golf with Woodman's dad. That story has got me places!
13 Jul 2025 16:25:46
Yeah but will it get you tickets and/or team access Rome??
13 Jul 2025 16:27:38
30 degree heat, and Frimpong not only sprints like a man possessed, but in long sleeves and an under shirt... Mad man.
13 Jul 2025 16:28:25
LINO FUCK OFF
13 Jul 2025 16:28:33
Mature outburst from a Preston player
13 Jul 2025 16:28:41
Speedsters get very cold when stationary!
13 Jul 2025 16:29:21
Bellingham would have got a 10 match ban, for that, Something Red
13 Jul 2025 16:30:12
Robbo trying to test Woodmans footwork!
13 Jul 2025 16:30:58
Kerkez legit just did a Phil jones. I already love him.
13 Jul 2025 16:31:01
Nice from Doak but so far the boys in the first half have impressed me more
13 Jul 2025 16:31:13
Kerkez, this is a pre season match, lay off :P
13 Jul 2025 16:32:07
Grav and Nyoni together is a drug I need more of. They won't play in competitive matches, so just give me it during the pre season, Slot.
13 Jul 2025 16:32:19
I don’t think Milos knows how to play at less than 110% and I love him for it! Reminds me of an early Robbo
13 Jul 2025 16:33:47
How's match going lads, did Kerkez, Wirtz, Frimpong, Marmash start?
13 Jul 2025 16:33:52
Could see doak going towards the panic end of the window when clubs treat it like a loo roll shortage.
13 Jul 2025 16:34:28
Mama started 1st half. Frimpong and Kerkez playing second half. Wirtz rested.
13 Jul 2025 16:35:12
Did Jones just take the finish off Gakpo's foot!?!?!? The ****he doing...
13 Jul 2025 16:35:23
Gah! Koumas should have been more selfish!
13 Jul 2025 16:36:11
Cody = not impressed! 🙄😂
13 Jul 2025 16:36:37
How is that not a penalty?? Pre season or not.
13 Jul 2025 16:37:17
Koumas is a fringe player for first team this season IMO
13 Jul 2025 16:37:27
vAR would of given that... Actually they'd still be debating and decide on a corner to Preston!
13 Jul 2025 16:38:23
No chance, Koumas struggled at Championship level, and it is showing now. He'll be sold to make funds for future deals. The lad is so slight, as well, a breeze could knock him over, let alone a fully stocked Prem defender.
13 Jul 2025 16:38:41
Koumas was a bit headless chicken to start with but is settling down. Doak’s passing isn’t good, just looks awkward
13 Jul 2025 16:39:35
Good save Woody
13 Jul 2025 16:39:45
Robbo's lost it man, such a shame to see
13 Jul 2025 16:39:53
Yeah v good, fair play to him
13 Jul 2025 16:41:01
Mango, I think Robbo gets a pass for while, Diogo was one of his best mates
13 Jul 2025 16:41:37
Well, ****
13 Jul 2025 16:41:57
Great goal. We’re struggling without our taller defenders
13 Jul 2025 16:42:09
Would we expect Salah to do better than doak there?
13 Jul 2025 16:42:42
What’s the verdict on dosk
13 Jul 2025 16:42:52
*doak
13 Jul 2025 16:42:52
Good to see we still do the midget marks the big man routine
13 Jul 2025 16:42:53
Salah would’ve taken it off his head with an overhead kick that scored at the other end JB
13 Jul 2025 16:43:04
Ha
13 Jul 2025 16:43:11
If we lose Konate, and bring in Guehi, then I will have nightmares when we face corners. As long as we don't have Macca marking the tallest opponent, ala Newcastle
13 Jul 2025 16:43:27
Soak, looks tricky but I can see what others were saying about his passing not being great atm
13 Jul 2025 16:43:40
Hah! *Doak
13 Jul 2025 16:43:53
Yeah- end product ….See lacking
13 Jul 2025 16:44:15
seems* Jesus I’m rusty —still preseason I guess
13 Jul 2025 16:44:16
Doak been very poor. He is okay on the ball, but defensively offers nothing. He needs to be sold to build up his career. Could play lower Prem in the future. For now, Championship.
13 Jul 2025 16:44:41
Alisson makes a huge difference with respect to high balls in the box
13 Jul 2025 16:44:56
Robbo is really putting Woodman under the cosh!
13 Jul 2025 16:44:57
Celtic fans seem to like him a lot, the move from Scotland back is too big for some
13 Jul 2025 16:45:00
You can tell Woodman was brought in to ease fears over Mama's footwork and ball distribution.

About to spend the next 5 days watching youth football - this has deffo put me in the mood!!
13 Jul 2025 16:46:38
Good goal
13 Jul 2025 16:46:49
Well done nunez for the step
13 Jul 2025 16:47:07
GAKPO!!!!!!!!!!!!
13 Jul 2025 16:47:08
Well stolen by doak
13 Jul 2025 16:47:51
Nunez, don't do this to me again...
13 Jul 2025 16:48:29
I know mango—it’s the hope that he’ll come good every so often that’s the killer
13 Jul 2025 16:48:33
Choo choo time to hop onto the Nunez train. 🤣
13 Jul 2025 16:49:28
Look I think he’ll do great somewhere , he has an awful lot in his locker, but not at Liverpool sadly
13 Jul 2025 16:49:43
I’d love it to work for him
13 Jul 2025 16:49:50
But it won’t
13 Jul 2025 16:50:13
Has “it’ll be our year this year” been replaced by “he’ll finally come good” ?!
13 Jul 2025 16:50:38
Watching Frimpong and Kerkez is going to be a workout all of its own. They have been relentless up the flanks.
13 Jul 2025 16:50:51
Nah- I think even the hardest Nunez fan admits it’s over
13 Jul 2025 16:52:05
Happy with that. Now we have to wait 2 weeks for the next match. Need my Wirtz fix, ASAP.
13 Jul 2025 16:52:07
Or …maybe ….with the new haircut it will work?
13 Jul 2025 16:54:53
JB12 with a lack of credible alternatives Nunes
13 Jul 2025 16:55:00
Some scenes here - with the jota song . Very proud to be a red
13 Jul 2025 16:55:23
JB12 with a lack of credible alternatives Nunez will have to stay.
13 Jul 2025 16:56:13
Vv - yeah , I trust the recruitment team to find a gem
13 Jul 2025 16:57:59
The one thing I would also add is that given the goal they scored it brings home exactly why Guehi isn’t the defender we need as he is weak in the air and particularly weak in set piece situations.
13 Jul 2025 16:58:10
JB13
13 Jul 2025 16:58:48
JB12, I trust them too but there’s no value in the market and little quality.
13 Jul 2025 17:01:12
Amazing scenes at the end ❤️
13 Jul 2025 17:03:58
Vv- I agree with you. Zed- makes you proud , doesn’t it ?
13 Jul 2025 17:04:33
I know people hate us - but we are The best club in the world
13 Jul 2025 17:33:02
We as supporters can be cocky, arrogant and entitled. But we also have the biggest hearts
