Morning eds and reds
I notice we have 9 pre season fixtures compared to the average 4/ 5 that most others in the league have do you think it's to gain advantage by time the season starts or do you think it's down to the owners wanting us to play games in America Aswell as here
Interested to hear your thoughts keep up the good work eds 👍Much appreciated.

{Ed002's Note - Managers are usually consulted over preseason nowadays. Some are driven by sponsorship typically.}

Klopp has always played a higher number of preseason games to work on fitness/ training for the start of the season, hence the number of local friendlies we've added in before the tour.

Good to see, gets us ready for the season!

Plus I'm really liking the fact that the youngsters are been given a chance to prove their selves.

Think it is a good thing. Looking at our first fixtures, we need to start the season at full speed. And there has been issues with our early form in the league since Rafas days.
