      Another good pre-season result and performance.  But it still is pre-season.

      None of this sh*t used to be televised years ago.  United beat Madrid the other week and I wouldn't fancy them if they were to meet in the Champions League.

      Not a huge surprise to see us looking quick and pacy at this stage - seemed to be the whole Klopp action plan last season as well.  Sadly we ran out of players as injuries took hold and that was before the 10 or so minimum European games we will have tagged on this season.

      Great points.

      The key this season is having enough players in reserve to replace once tiredness and injuries set in.

      Signings are needed but keeping the likes of Ryan Kent around will also help here.
      Frankly, Mr Shankly

      And Karius has reached our standards  :mad:

      How many games has he been given? Barely enough to make an impression...unlike Simon.

      Something we arguably still don't have.

      If we continue to plunder pointless competitions like the League Cup then such problems will only magnify. We really don't need that competition.

      Agree.

      10 League games.

      Nowhere near enough to make judgement.

      I'd honestly give him the season barring a spectacular disaster spell of form.

      But he does not show improvement on Simon, I not saying that Simon is world-class but at the moment he is better than Karius. I would have bought a new keeper.

      Albert Moreno trending...and for the right reasons.

      I think I might need a lie down.

      To think, some of you wanted to sell him....  😎

      If we tried to rap studge in cotton wool he would probably suffocate, such a shame.

      He'd get a skin rash -- allergic to cotton....

      All of us, would have sold him yesteday, today maybe sell him for more money. He needs to show that consistently.

      He's clearly an improvement in many departments. Quick off his line, much more alert and a much MUCH better kicker of the ball. I mean, this guy can kick over the half way line!

      Excellent runout that, I thought we were excellent and were good for a couple more goals if truth be told. We look on course to make another fast start to the new season, the lads look fit and sharp. Brilliant t have Mane back and firing. Gutted to see Studge limp off, such a talent but his body will always let him down. It's bonkers that we are not in the market for another striker though. Was impressed with our defensive play tonight, there's a lot of talent in that Bayern team and they were made to look very ordinary. I wonder if young Ryan Kent has earned himself a start tomorrow night? He has looked sharp all pre season.

      That's how I see it. He has us more on the front foot.

      At the moment, he is not better in shot-stopping, on one-2-one and his ball control.

      Was a joke mate.  He is almost certainly going to be sold before September.  Was a nice display in the shop window though!

      Klopp on Sturridge: "I can't say. He hurt his thigh. He has prepared really well. I just hope he can play really soon."

      He was lightening quick off his line again tonight BUT don't forget he is scared shi......tless of crosses and opposing players when they go up for crosses. Until he sorts that part of his game I don't want him between the sticks. Mignolet finally grew some balls in that department last season so he deserves to keep the gloves for me.

      Did not take it, my bad. If he is willing to stay on the bench and fight for his place, I do not see anything wrong, it will also help us keep Coutinho.

      Mignolet's shot to goal ratio is utterly dire. The shot stopping ability of Simon is a myth.

      I really don't think he is. I'm not saying Karius is particularly good, simply that neither keeper is fit to wear the shirt. We really haven't improved near enough this Summer for what lies ahead. Sturridge showing his class, then showing he's made of glass during the same goal. We're willing to spend £70 million on a midfielder but can't afford a world class Striker.

      Anyway, excellent performance and excellent win. More like this over the next nine months, please.

      I tend to agree with you but think Jürgen views things more along the lines of "if you're in it, you try and win it." We'll see if he tailors his approach this season.
