It's great to see the boys out on the pitch again but let's remember it is preseason. Hard to read into anything but the shape in which the team plays. Double and triple sessions all week.

Also Where does this Milner right back idea come from? . That will never happen we have options there already with clyne the best of them by far. Gomez then TAA have excellent potential. Milner will be first choice left back and let Robertson ease in. Klavan performed really well in the majority of the games he played last season fact is he is back up and he was relied too heavily on. If we can get VVD in and keep the rest then I believe we can have a good go. Midfield concerns me a little but there is no point in buying players who aren't as good as what we have. Medel would be an option I think as he can play centre back and holding midfield, we aren't interested tho.

{Ed025's Note - i must have watched a different team last year roon, clyne is absolutely turkish delight, klavan is probably the only one who is worse, and i think the midfield is the last of your worries mate..

Clyne offers no threat going forward. He always passes it backwards if he ever gets into the final third. He's not great defensively either as I don't think I've ever seen him win a header. Gomez (if he's allowed to play there) and TAA for me. Milner would also be an option if it mean't that Clyne didn't play.

{Ed025's Note - im with you epic..

I think both Clyne and Milner were harshly judged on the second half of last season, the general consensus seeming to be that they were found out and offered little going forward. I think it was more that the opposition sussed out how to counter the high press; with the full backs pushed on our centre halfs were told to split leaving a 40 yard wide corridor for the opposition to play the ball into when possession was turned over. After we conceded goals to this tactic in several games I'm convinced Klopp instructed the full backs that they were still to push up but that they could not sacrifice possession. This is why we stopped seeing Milner going around the outside and Clyne repeatedly slowed down or ended our attacks by playing the ball all the way back to our centre halfs instead of crossing from promising positions. I think part of the reason Klopp would like Keita is to cover this space when we are attacking and track any runs by quick strikers playing on the break.
