Very strange comment. Liverpool have had some great teams over the years but there can't be any question about their current quality and excitement levels in watching this group of players. The Champions League winners who finished with 97 points in their domestic league being called ordinary is one of the most bizarre things I've heard on here.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

As for Napoli, this is one of the best teams in their history. They've finished 2nd in Seria A two years in a row behind an excellent Juventus team and although there are no world class players in their team, still plenty of quality and well known names.

They work very hard but no really inspirational players or quality attractive football.
Napoli were very attractive and attacking under Sarri. But the new manager has moved them to a much more defensive formation.
So we will see hard working/closing down athetic Liverpool versus a defensive Napoli in a pre-season friendly. All at great expense. Unless your a fan if one of the teams then it us going to be an expensive disappointment.Last edited by FilipinoHibs; 18-07-2019 at 11:39 AM.

I'd be very interested to see who in your mind right now is a better team in terms of quality or to watch.
Ancelotti is one of the best coaches in the world and has plenty of exciting players in the team.
I'm fully aware it's a pre season friendly and will be played at a slow pace with a few players rested. Apart from kids I don't think anyone in attendance will be expecting much more than a decent day out and a chance to see two teams that are very unlikely to play a competitive game in Edinburgh for a long time.

As for your 'at great expense' comment, this is costing me and my family of 4 no more than a standard Hibs match to go and see. Is that what you mean?

They are also the Champions of Europe and only lost one game all season in the Premier League. They are very very far from being ordinary.

These are 2 of the sides I would be keenest to watch play a competitive game as a neutral. I can't believe anyone would think that this Liverpool team is anything other than brilliant to watch. To be fair they were probably a bit more fun to watch before they sorted their defence out.
I'm just not interested in watching pre-season kickabouts. Occasionally if I've been football-starved I'll be keen to go along and get a first glimpse of the season of my own team, but this just doesn't interest me.

There will be changes galore throughout the match and the usual players getting up to speed and getting some pre season minutes under their belts.
Theres nothing on the line and folk will be scrolling their Facebook after 20 mins.

I stopped doing friendlies years ago. They just don’t have that spark of excitement for me. However I have made this game an exception to my rule. I’ve always had a soft spot for Liverpool. I think the reason for this goes back to times when they ruled England in the Eighties and then there’s the obvious Scottish connections. I used to love watching them play big European nights at Anfield under the flood lights with what’s got to be one of the noisiest and most passionate supports in the world.
This current Liverpool side are exceptional and they have a manager that brings the whole club together.
Really looking forward to having what should be a great day out.

Thought about getting tickets for this for me and my daughter (Dejan Lovren fan, would you believe?!) but decided against when all the cheaper ones went.
Liverpool are playing in New York on Thursday against Sporting so will likely arrive back in the UK on Friday/early Saturday.
I’m sure the players are delighted they then have to travel up to Scotland almost immediately. Walking pace game with 22 changes (but it might be good fun for all that).

If they go for that option the players will be even more delighted that instead of heading home they are heading off to some random city that they have no connection to, in order to heighten awareness of the Liverpool FC franchise.

My brother in-law is a Liverpool fan and bought the whole family tickets for this. Sitting in block E20.
Also reading Klopp’s comments online, looks like not all of that star studded squad are going to be playing in this friendly. Salah, Allison & Firminio will be joining up with the squad in France a day later & Mane is on extended leave due to Senegal reaching the AFCON final.Last edited by hfc rd; 22-07-2019 at 04:46 PM.
