Spot on.

I will be very interested to see how Degen and Dossena get on, or are Insua and Arbeloa going to step up.

Also I'm wondering are they going to get to move Carson on? Otherwise today's arrival from Brazil puzzles me, at a time when money seems to be at a premium.

The areas Liverpool need to improve in are more than obvious - fullbacks and good wide/creative players, another quality striker - pretty much in that order of priority.

If Intandje is off to Gala and two offers on table for Carson (apparently) then it really is a straight forward purchase of a back up keeper at 3m with the sale of the two others prob taking in 8m. What is puzzling is buying a Brazilian goalkeeper, never had a good keeper that i can recall. Aren't Brazilian keepers fustrated outfield players who were no good in their youth

Ah fair enough...in Rafa we trust, eh?

Indeed, I see Taffarel is one of the new boys heros...not known for their keepers alright.

Sorry to see Crouchinho go,But he deserves to be playing all the time,He didn't get a fair chance at Liverpool imho..

Might be debated but i think this was his best goal for us

I saw a fair bit of the friendly v Tranmere. Certainly had a pre-season friendly vibe about it. Liverpool dominated for 90 minutes but hardly created a clear cut chance. Cracking goal by Benayoun at the end of the first half to win it.

Highlight for Liverpool was the return of Agger.

Degen came on for the second half, and was very keen to charge forward. Looks to have good touch and good ability. Reminded me a bit of Heggem. His defensive ability, which is supposed to be his weakness, wasn't tested at all. But at first glance he does look a good option for right back against the rubbish teams. Could be an option at right midfield also.

A young 17 year old Spaniard called Pacheco played up front. Showed small glimpses that he might be an exciting prospect. Nemeth wasn't invovled - I think he's away with a Hungarian underage side.

Team: Martin, Hobbs, Carragher, Agger, Insua, Darby, Lucas, Plessis, Pennant, Benayoun, Pacheco. Subs - Aurelio, Cavalieri, Degen, Flynn, Gerrard, Hyypia, Kelly, Skrtel, Spearing, Voronin.
