Liverpool Friendly

[Guest]

Match Thread: Kind of  

Set to play Liverpool today with Lewis Holtby also set to feature in the game as seen on Instagram. Liverpool TV nor Rovers are showing the game in any capacity, I wonder whether Rovers will live tweet it either? Probably not. Hoping Rich Sharpe might provide some updates for the Lancashire Telegraph.

Does anyone on the forum know where this game is taking place? Ewood or Brockhall?

[frosty]

In Sharpe’s LT article about Holtby being back he said ‘Rovers travel to Merseyside’ - don’t know if that means Anfield or somewhere else.

Anfield according to Twitter...

Oh! Interesting, seem to recall them saying we were hosting. Thank you

Hopefully Tony can tap up Jurg for a couple of loans.

He’s more likely to get Jurgs brother , Clipperty.

Any way of watching the game?

[Guest]

Rich Sharpe saying there might be some highlights later. Don't think anyone even knows a kick off time

[Ossydave]

Sharpe said he's 'not invited', unless he gets some bits of info from the club I can't see much in the way of updates.

Strange, no start time? Season kicks off again in one week..

Keep fans away.

Rovers 3-0 down as things stand. Seen some pictures from inside. From what I can see it's:

Nyambe Lenihan Tosin ?

Travis Johnson ?

Gallagher Graham Brereton

 

? at left back isn't Amari'i Bell so could be Downing or Lewis Thompson
? at CM isn't anyone I can see, it's far away, could be Evans or Holtby or Downing

[Guest]

Just seen a second picture, Buckley is third midfielder. Still unsure on the left-back, impossible to tell from the camera angle.

Definitely a 4-3-3 though from both pictures.

Interesting - KO is supposedly not for an hour yet!

That's impressive even for us!?

Crikey! Liverpool's defence will be having a field day.

(Don't want to lump Graham in with the other two but he is on the wane and will probably be rustier than ever)

[oldjamfan1]

It kicked off at 1.30pm by the way so it isn't even half time yet!

Definitely kicked off. Seen pictures inside the ground.

Heard a rumour that they're doing two 60 minute games and both teams will rotate round

I forgot of the irritation of Gallagher out wide.

[Guest]

Worrying that Gallagher - Graham and Brereton as a front three could be an option for Bristol City

Was just going to post the same thing!

Quite glad the rest of the season is behind closed doors rather than travelling an hour to watch that carry on again.

I wouldnt read too much into a friendly where 2 teams are being put out. No way that Armstrong wont play for a start.

I bloody hope you're right

[Ossydave]

Jesus it's happening again, people getting all fretty over a friendly ?

[Mattyblue]

Or flip it, people getting all excited over a friendly because BB was ‘running riot’ against the reserve team of a club about to be thrown out the EFL...
