I mean if nothing else. Gosh darn Napoli is well dressed.

Both kits are fresh. I have a soft spot for the purple as that was our team color in high school, and we wore all purple with silver helmets.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Find the loud "highlighter" kits pretty unappealing personally. Orange is too much.

 

[Chimaera]

They’re going to score a lot of goals. Alisson’s distribution as I said before is going to be the start of some great attacks.

I havent warmed up to Ribena kits yet. I'm a bit spoiled because last year was the best kit range they have had in a long time.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Looks like @John Pedro was right Martinez being deployed as a 10. Smh

 

[Prntscrn]

Good luck saving that

 

[Savant]

Milner had a clash with a Napoli player and opened his head up. Feel like he would have stayed in if it was a meaningful game though

Also Firmino had a goals incorrectly waived off for offsides

 

[Live in the Now]

It's like having 11 players in the field with Alisson there. Some ridiculous passing this game.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Lucas with a cracking free-kick to put Spurs up against Girona.

He can make a few bungles here or there if he makes up for it with his passing. Offense from the keeper is going to be something to watch. Liverpool are going to go down the pitch on the counter at break neck pace. Salah and Mane have to be licking their chops

 

[Prntscrn]

Curtis Jones looks like a future player. Love me some local lads coming through. Also possibly the most British name ever

 

[Live in the Now]

Studge please be fit enough to play 25 games this season. Great preseason for him.

 

[Savant]

Liverpool is good

 

[Live in the Now]

Fabinho and Cube have been really impressive in their 45 minutes.

 

[Chimaera]

All the best to some clubs trying to defend Liverpool this season.

 

[Gecklund]

I feel like every season Moreno scores a stunner at some point and you have this inkling of thought that he might be good this year and then that goal is the only thing he does all season.

 

[booyakasha]

I was wrong earlier, Torreira started and Guendouzi is on the bench.
but impressed with Iwobi as he had the brightest performance of the first half.
...pretty pissed that Lacazette is not getting the service, as some players are failing him, he could have at least a couple if Nketiah and Maitland-Niles had the where with all and vision to find him.

 

[Chimaera]

He was decent last season until he got hurt. He’s a good squad option, but Andy Robertson is the goods. Moreno could play for a few clubs.

He sucks. Even when he plays well, you get the feeling he could be much more.

I have never been the one to predict good things for Liverpool at the start of the season, everyone who's been here knows that I never do. They should challenge for every trophy this year though. The amount of game changing players Liverpool has this year is incredible. Strong in absolutely every area, my favorite being midfield, with six strong midfielders and a good youngster pushing on. Our backups are good everywhere except at the left side, but there are ways to change the formation in order to keep things very strong. Keita is also an option for #10 in an injury crisis. They should consider making Origi unhappy and use him for depth on that left side.

I am pumped up. Our team didn't only show talent, they looked slick in every way. Passed their way through a good Napoli team at their leisure. That being said, I think Napoli is going to struggle this season to some extent as they have a major hole in midfield.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Lyon trying to end Martinez career before it starts...

Bagged another goal... I thought he'd get easied in but he might just hit the ground running at this point.

 

[YNWA14]

This is going to be a really fun season.

While I totally agree that they have game changing talent, do they have enough depth to challenge on every front? I am honestly asking not implying that they don't. I mean I know they have a fantastic starting 11 but I just don't know enough about their bench to know if they are good enough. Looking at their roster the weaknesses on the bench I see are CM (don't think that Lallana, Henderson, or Wjnaldum are good enough), CB (Lovren is good but has some major flaws and Klavan isn't good enough), LW (there's really no one), ST (unless Sturrige can keep healthy).

 

[John Pedro]

He'll thrive there as well.

Lucas with a cracking free-kick to put Spurs up against Girona.

He's been amazing this preseason, hope he can have a nice year.

They may, the front three doesn't have amazing depth so time will tell. Defense and midfield sure do though.
