Liverpool Friendly

[RoversClitheroe]

Apparently 6-0 loss

[windymiller7]

Yeah correct, was just on a conf call with a Lpool supporting colleague who was getting updates on twitter - FT 6-0

[arbitro]

The home advantage of BCD football worked well there ??.

Where? Facebook, Twitter? Certainly not on here, although we do have the occasional windup merchant and their acolytes.

[RoversClitheroe]

Good to see Davenport being used, think he's a really good prospect that always seems to be overlooked.

About right given the difference these days..... ?

I forgot of the irritation of Gallagher out wide.

Me too. Going to be banging my head against my monitor come next Saturday - 100%.

Can he at the very least just get that ridiculous hair chopped off - even if it's his missus who has to do it.

Rich Sharpe tweet

Taking a stab at the starting #Rovers team: Walton, Nyambe, Adarabioyo, Lenihan, Rankin-Costello, Davenport, Travis, Johnson, Holtby, Gallagher, Graham.

Or at least a hairband that works so he can stop the constant hair adjustments during a match and give his attention to what he's paid big bucks to do.

It seems to me like we did the honourable thing and socially distanced ourselves from the Liverpool players!

More seriously, I suspect there's absolutely nothing to read into this result other than getting game time into some rusty legs.

[davulsukur]

6-0, that's a tubbing even for a friendly.

Only a friendly but still pretty embarrassing.

Suddenly I don't miss football that much anymore.

[rigger]

At least it wasn’t streamed.

[chaddyrovers]

Rich Sharpe said the Armstrong started instead of Graham. 

[Waggy76]

Hardly a surprising result one team Prem champions elect , with all to play for the other fulfilling their Championship fixtures with little to play for ....

[RoversClitheroe]

Worrying thing probably being that Smallwood played and Buckley didn't.

It's probably been forgotten as it was a while ago but Buckley is suspended for the next three games after his red card at Derby. But playing Smallwood is a strange decision. Maybe he will get a new short term deal.

Oh yeah! Completely forgot! Did they not even appeal?

I'm sure there was no appeal. The challenge was a shocker and appealing could have been deemed frivolous and resulted in an extra game

[JPTSwindon]

Sub-optimal result that. Yes only a friendly, but doubt that will have been a confidence builder.

As ever why spent so much on a striker, a target man and then play him on the wing?

[Exiled in Toronto]

If perchance we go up, we’ll see a few score lines like that.

By which point Mowbry will be deploying Gallagher in goal...

[RevidgeBlue]

You've got to applaud whoever compiled  the report on the game for bare faced front.

Saying we now need to "fine tune" our preparations in time for the start of the season.

What, so we only get beaten 5-0 next time out?

That's the sort of thing you'd write if we'd battled our way to a plucky 1-1 drawer something!

[Mattyblue]

Back of the Times made me laugh.

Trent Alexander-Arnold battles for the ball with * “err, anybody have a clue who the other fella is”... “no? Right we’ll leave it out”

I’ve seen the goals which highlighted some terrible defending

[Tom]

Probably a good thing we got put through the ringer, the goals displayed some shocking defending and goalkeeping!
