Last preseason game and we go into the regular season with a bang! 6-1 defeat of Inter Milan, which isn't bad at all...

 

I know it's preseason, but hell, that's impressive no matter the venue.

Inter looked like a hot garbage last week...  Bayern scored 4 in first 28 minutes with their 2nd team but it's good to be positive ;)

Sturridge will likely not play against Arsenal due to a new hip injury. We're all shocked, I'm sure.

Have to assume Origi features up top, which is fine by me. Coutinho-Firmino-Mane in behind with a midfield two of Can-Wijnaldum. Could see either Matip or Klavan getting the start alongside Lovren. Klavan has been strong in preseason. Clyne and Moreno wingbacks with that idiot Mignolet in goal.

Arsenal will play 4-5 back-ups against you.  You guys should do just fine.

    • After some of the calls last year probably won't see much of a drop off 
    • https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.
    • Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
