Hello and welcome to the match thread for the last friendly of the 2013 pre season!
date Saturday, August 10th
Time 17.00

So the season is almost upon us lads, it has seemed a long summer. But finally the new season is on the horizon. I think we will put out the best 11 we can for this game, and wouldn't surprise me if its the same 11 that starts Vs Stoke the week after
Predicted 11

----------------Mignolet--------------
Johnson--Toure--Agger--Enrique
-----------------------------------------
---------Allen--Lucas--Gerrard-----
-----------------------------------------
Sterling--------------------Coutinho
-----------------Aspas----------------

Looking forward to You'll Never Walk Alone getting sung by both sets of fans before and during the game.

What's the score?

 

You didn't hang about then

 

I was contemplating this one, show you guys how it should be done

 

You could but i have it on good authority that you have no staying power

 

That'll be where the mrs picked up that aid

 

Nice one mate. A win would do lovely, and a clean sheet. Hoping Borini can get his name on the score sheet, give the lad some sort of confidence going in to the new season.

 

Didn't realise you was a Celtic fan Mick. A 6-0 loss wouldn't do us too much harm, might give a few folks heads a much needed shake

 

Sturridge in 22-man Dublin squad

Daniel Sturridge has been included in Brendan Rodgers' 22-man squad for the Reds' final pre-season fixture, against Celtic in Dublin on Saturday.

The Liverpool striker returned to full training on Monday following an ankle injury and joins his teammates for the match at the Aviva Stadium tomorrow.

Defender Glen Johnson is also available for selection after missing the trip to Norway in midweek, where the Reds made it six wins out of six by beating Valerenga 4-1.

Rodgers' squad in full is: Jones, Johnson, Enrique, Toure, Alberto, Gerrard, Aspas, Coutinho, Assaidi, Henderson, Sturridge, Coates, Downing, Lucas, Mignolet, Allen, Borini, Sterling, Kelly, Flanagan, Ibe, Wisdom.

 

anyone know if this a 3 sub max game ? I think it might be. Usually the last friendly is a "glamour" tie at Anfield played in the official rules. I hope this one is tbh purely from a selfish pov as im going to it.

 

Urm...
No idea lol

 

Mick's one of ra peepul of Linfield and The Rangers.

 

Just had the Liverpool team get off a flight I work on in Dublin.they looked so bored hope their saving energy for tomorrow

 

Did you get and pics or autographs?

 

i think anyone would be bored of preseason at this point. another away day after having a great time at anfield? nah i think they are all just wanting the off.

but its business travel. they do it all the time so you get bored of the same old....

fringes and toes crossed for now celtic sledging.

 

if jones starts in goal for us this might happen
