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:

              • England favorites?
              • Holland struggles without Miedema.
              • France and Spain have lost key players with ACLs

                • We’ll be back next week after Liverpool have played their one more pre-season game. Thanks to Haitham and Enrique.
