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)
