    Kicks off tomorrow against Tranmere. Mane, Karius, Grujic and Matip all set to play.

    Overall, looks like it's going to be a busy pre season, 9 matches in all.

    I am actually going down tomorrow night, taking my nephew (who seemed to be more anxious to go to this than Villarreal, kids eh? :laugh: ). Hoping they show some decent pre-season form without doing a Voronin/Aspas!

    Looking forward to seeing what Grujic is like and hoping Markovic smashes it in pre season.

    Very busy pre season, plenty of time to evaluate the bloated squad for loans and sales.

    Might try my luck and see if there are any tickets left for tonight, though £20 is a bit steep for a friendly.

    Was gonna go down myself but didn't fancy paying £20. There's a few pay-on-the-day tickets left in the JK stand for those still interested in going. I'll be pleasantly surprised if you don't score at least 8.

    Decided against it in the end, found out LFC TV are showing all 9 pre season friendlies for just £4.99. Bargain!

    Team:
    Liverpool: Karius, Flanagan, Matip, Lovren, Smith, Lucas, Ejaria, Brannagan, Kent, Mane, Firmino.

    Subs: Bogdan, Moreno, Ilori, Ings, Stewart, Wisdom, Markovic, Kane, Randall, Woodburn, Alexander-Arnold, Chirivella.

    Any Tranmere players to look out for Tom? I'd imagine the majority of them are part time tradesmen these days aren't they? ;)

    Wheres Grujic? Was looking forward to seeing him in the engine room tonight.

    Still be good to watch the other new boys though. Hopefully they'll have a decent run out.

    Grujic has work permit issues supposedly.

    Looking forward to it. Hoping to see some early spakrs between Mane and Firmino. Strangely excited to see Markovic again too.

    :laugh: Stephenson (the winger) is probably our most 'exciting' signing but other than that there's not really much to look out for. We're still just about full time but you wouldn't have guessed it last season. Part time plumbers and teachers took the piss at Prenton Park last season

    Kent, Mane & Ejaria looked lively.

    Moreno to come on in the 2nd half & give away a penalty.

    Aye mate, we were well under the cosh so it bodes well that we only conceded once. Apparently there was a pitch invasion after the final whistle :laugh:

    Yes mate, seeing my nephew kneeslide across Prenton Park was something I wasn't expecting for a few more years! ;) Pyro after the goal too :laugh: was good fun. Your lads put in a decent account of themselves I thought, but bloody hell McNulty's a big bastard ain't he?!

    :laugh:He isn't half mate, but for a big fella he's surprisingly mobile and good with the ball at his feet. Likes a Cruyff turn as well ;)

    Wheres Joe Gomez? Thought he was alright now or at least fit enough to play some part?

    Glad Grujic is starting. Been desperately wanting to see him in a Liverpool shirt since we signed him.

    Mane looking good on the left wing!
