The 2nd half will be better....we will be kicking down the slope.

Eze done ok but he needs to stay wider so we can get the ball to him.
The only way around a bus is the wide men just hasn’t happened.
Hesitation then a square or backward pass just not working.
Watkins just had no service.
Playing teams like this before a major comp when we know they will just park the bus dosnt make sense to me.
It’s very quiet as well.

Suprized Watkins didn’t go down there.
Pulled him back, grabs his shirt, kicks him in the back of the leg and stands on his heel.

Yep...just needs more sharpness and urgency. Not many have made a case to be on the plane....maybe airport baggage handlers, but not on the plane.

He’s got the Squad together, a few of the first XI aren’t yet with the sqd.
Ideal opportunity to play lesser opponents and have look at lesser opponents who are similar to those we’ll face in the group.
Nobody plays teams they are likely to be up against in tournaments.
He’ll get a far better idea about the players at this level than watching them in the PL or on the trg pitch.

Some changes needed as the team is unbalanced but let's be honest it's a warm up game to give squad players minutes. Eze and Palmer have looked lively in parts.
Need to get Toney on and mix things up a bit.

Hopefully Gareth has learnt something from tonight, the XI that started the match probably only contained 2-3 of his first choice XI, not their fault, virtually 11 strangers on the pitch and definitely a few players who can back up the main XI.
I’d have TAA in my starting XI, but not in central midfield.
Don’t really understand giving Pickford 90 minutes, ideal opportunity to give another keeper a few minutes, or even to have started one of them.
Be interesting to see if he puts out as many as he can from his first choice on friday.

Well I think he learned nothing in the first half.
I would question that the level is the same as the PL ( that goes for the ref as well)

It maybe a similar level to the PL, in your view, but those guys don’t all play for one team, so need time to adjust/get to know each other.Well I think he learned nothing in the first half.

And learning nothing, must mean he learnt something.

TAA is never a CM in a million years, cracking finish from his favourite position though.
Would like to think the next game will be the strongest sides minus Bellingham.

I thought he mishit it he looked suprized it went in.
Workmanlike performance to get a result but this is hardly top quality opposition. Not sure what Southgate got out of it aside seeing a few fringe players in action to trim the final squad. Not sure what he thinks his first XI at the moment but lets start positive at the beginning of the Euro's and see where we go

Isn’t that exactly what these friendlies are for?

Yep absolutely correct, why play your first XI (if available) and risk injuries.
Then fringe players thrown in at the deep end.

Yeah, it looked like it came off the front of his ankle area rather than the laces - was probably going for the top corner screamer and got the bottom corner dribbler instead. But they count the same either way.

A bit more positivity from you Homer
I'm sure Southgate knows exactly what he's doing.
Come on England!

Standard Charter started sponsoring yous around 2010 and have twice in that period been sanctioned for their poor handling of terrorist and Iranian money laundering.
Below is an article from 2019:
Standard Chartered fined $1.1bn for money-laundering and sanctions breaches
Settlements with US and UK authorities force bank to take hit in first-quarter results
So please explain why Lpool as a Club can claim ignorance and have infact extended the shirt contract?

I’m as far from a Liverpool fan as you can get. But, Standard Charter are huge and have a huge amount of high profile customers , including some of the largest companies in the world. You can’t blame Liverpool for accepting sponsorship from them. It’s probably a completely different entity/division of SC that deals with LFC compared to those in the article.
Football authorities should get its own house in order and look at things like FIFA World Cup bribes (Qatar, South Africa, Russiia) if we’re looking at corruption and bribery
