Preseason expectations: what are your expectations and how much do you follow? [discussion]
Preseason expectations: what are your expectations and how much do you follow? [discussion]
Let’s get some discussion going here!
Soon preseason starts with friendlies, a lot of media stuff, and build up to the new season.
How much do you engage? Nothing, catch up on updates, going to a game, follow every friendly, watch every bit of content social media content?
What are you looking forward to seeing? The 353 carrying on? New signings? Younger players that we’ve not seen yet (Bajcetic wasn’t on most of our radars last preseason)?
How optimistic are you feeling?
Found myself completely detached last season but always watch the highlights, kind of fell out of love with football over recent years but I'm wanting to jump in the deep end and tattoo a liverbird on my forehead.
I think it's down to watching more social media content based around the club and players leaving that held special places in recent history with fantastic performances. Bobby, Ox and Milly the standouts, kind of feels end of an era to some extent.
I'm looking forward to seeing the players start again, form last season was so stop start until the last 3rd of the season, nobody really got going. Gakpo probably excites me the most but I'm desperate for Darwin to take those couple of steps up and start confidently burying chances. Both new signings are also very exciting and I think there's at least 1 more coming, but I hope 2.
Fairly optimistic of a top 4 finish but with (seemingly) a new midfield core and system I think we'll be way shy of a title challenge.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how our front-line performs with a revamped midfield. I'm expecting to see much better service going forward
Will Trent spend anytime in midfield? Very interested in whether Klopp utilizes him differently this coming season.
Also, Really hoping for at least 1 more signing (ideally 2). Would love another young, midfielder (a la Lavia) and another CB for cover
Agree with everything you say, I’m going to add what I’m looking forward to:
- is gakpo going to continue his trajectory and keep improving? What is his ceiling?
- how is Darwin this preseason? Same again or up a level?
- diaz at the start of last season looked like he had got an end product. Is that going to continue?
- I’m really excited about Jones, Elliot and Bajcetic this season. They have less pressure and more time to shine.
Couldn’t get LFCTV to work last season to watch them so hoping that actually works this year. Also hoping to get to the game at Deepdale.
