Well that was a fun way to spend a Thursday tea-time aye?
With the usual caveat of it just being a friendly kick-around with the result meaning precisely nothing/ just another extended training exercise …..
Only one man to start with …..
I wonder if all the opposition divvies, who’s silly little heads Darwin has been living rent-free in, will be making up any compilation highlights of that? 45 mins work. 23 minute hatty. 4 goals by the end of it. His burgeoning understanding with Trent and Mo in particular continuing to grow as he noticeably, again, pulled more to the right than the left he killed players on at Benfica …..

Up the Uruguayan Lukaku! Soz abar us he’s not at your club! Pure out and out # 9.
Another major step up from the first two games. Loved we kept the intensity up for the full 90. Really good hour for 7 players. Good 45 for 4 more. Some super cameo’s the last half hour from the younger guys. Bajcetic doing his future no harm at all again. Mentioned him a lot as a standout for the 23's last year. Interesting that they are using him as a 6 like his step up in ages from the CH role he was at 18's level. Whether that's through a physical aspect or just his intelligence/ composure on the ball I don't know but his versatility is a joy to watch develop. Harvey continuing his great pre-season form. Carvalho continuing to leave you drooling with whats to cone. All marshalled superbly by Hendo and Milly’s leadership. Team shape that bit tighter again. The press becoming more coordinated by the game. Looking sharper by the game.
Now to over to the gorgeous setting of Austria to really hammer home this last week of prep. to set things up for another mighty season of Liverpool football. Then ......
All the best City. 9 more days before the first leg of the quintuple!
The ONLY downside tonight was lamenting missing Leipzig the other year. Would have been a boss trip. To a boss looking City. With a game in a boss stadium that sounds great when its full …..
BTARD COVID!!!!! 
Uo the pre-season purring Reds!
FTT!!!!!
