Some news
-
Henderson has not traveled.
-
Trent seems like he is starting in midfield.
-
Ali apparently has a slight knock and left out as a precaution.
-
2 x 45 minute teams likely.
-
First match in Karlsruher’s new stadium, so it is a big sold out event for them
First half report
Overall: As expected, a very preseason type of game. Currently 1-1. Some interesting moments, some mistakes, sometimes a little slow.
Moment of the match: Sprinklers went off randomly preventing the match to restart after the drinks break. And the on-screen graphics declared someone on Karlsruher was Jurgen Klopp at one point.
Notes
Darwin 1-0 – slightly weird goal.
VVD disallowed goal (from a corner. Clearly pushed the player over)
3-box-3 still going. Bradley as RB, Trent as 6, Clark as 8. All did well. Both the kids looked really exciting – Bradley was sometimes the furthest up.
Clark made some interesting runs. Really impressed compared to last season where, for me, he never stood out when he was played.
Feels like Darwin is pressing a little more intensely compared to last season
Dom did several good lifted passes from the midfield to Salah.
At about minute 30, Clark and Dom switched left and right 8s. I’d say Dom got more involved in the game then.
1-1 Great volley by their player from a free kick. Not really any fault by a Liverpool player. (If any fault could be found it would be Konate who gave away the free kick)
