Thanks for joining us on First State Kopites - it’s episode 3 of our 4th season. I’m Paul and I am joined by Enrique and Haitham. The countdown is on - 2 weeks to the Community Shield, 3 weeks to the season start
Part One:
Reds on tour in Thailand and Singapore
- 4-0 to Man United.
- Simon Brundish said he only watched the first 30 minutes, could have been 6-1 to Liverpool.
- Players in the last 30 minutes had been back with the squad 2 days.
- Crystal Palace game - missing some players due to ‘vaccination status’
- Never a bad thing to see Salah scoring
- Contractual obligation tour or useful pre-season experience?
- Bonding seems important
- Value of seeing how big the club is
- Anyone catch your eye? Elliott, Carvahlo?
- Level of concern about injuries?
- Jota, Alisson, Chamberlain
- Didn’t win a game in 2019 pre-season….
- Where we are right now vs. start of the Standard Chartered deal
Part Two - transfers and the Euros:
- Comings and goings
- Most impressive signing so far? Koulibaly, Sterling
- Some pre-season games - United with a 100% record:)
- Barcelona - what is the perfect metaphor - Payday loans, drunk guy, world is ending in 2 years
Part Three:
Women’s Euros:
