Just saw part 2 -

Konchesky features in one photo. Be interesting if Kenny gives him a second chance?

I just can't believe Koncheski and Paulson are still here.

If they even get 1 minute on our reserve team it would be a total scam.

Whos the Kluivert lookalike in between Meireles & Poulson in Part Two (photo unattached)? plus the very last photo too? Thats not El Zhar is it?

Someone has never done pre-season training methinks...

Sports Bras? They're GPS device vests.

They send wireless signals to the associated software running on laptop or workstation which monitors various things like heart rate, distance covered and speed.

GP Sports: Tracking Technology

Today saw a lot of the Premiership teams put through their paces back at their training grounds as the first day of pre-season began. Being an #LFC fan, I was eager to check up on my teams progress on their first day, and also to see what kind of shape Big Andy Carroll was in after his Ibiza and ‘Glasto’ adventures. Apart from the excitement of Christian Poulsen and Paul Konchesky being back at Melwood, I noticed each player wearing a black bra-type bib. Bigandy

So what is GP Sports? According to their site (http://gpsports.com/gpsports_website/), GP Sports Tracking and Analysis Technologies are being used to improve the performance of elite team sport. They have revolutionised how team sport athletes prepare and manage themselves. For decreased injuries, weekly planning, allowing more time to be spent on speed and power activities, and more game specific programming. As well as Liverpool, their clients include Man Utd, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Barcelona. It is used by teams from other sports as well, with the South African Cricket team using it, and Australian rugby team St George Illawarra Dragons Football Club. A full client list is given here.

The most common product used is the SPI Pro X. This offers more in-game analysis. An impressive feature is showing the work load of each athlete, and how close an athlete is to injury. This means, if you have a target for training, for example, a body load score of 980, they can train until they hit exactly that point. This means feedback can be given on workload throughout training. There is an iPhone app for collecting the information. Lfctrain

I know from experience in tough training, certain people are quick to call the bluffers and say who isn’t ‘putting it in’. This technology would be great to try out. Also, playing an amateur sport (Gaelic Football) and having gone through the rehabilitation stage of injury, it would have been brilliant to be aware of my limits when attempting to strengthen my injury. I must have re-torn my quad muscle 3 times after the initial tear. It would also get rid of this "it'll tighten ye" attitude, where people are pressured to play through pain at their highest level when they only make an injury worse. However, do not...i repeat...DO NOT...tell the world for weeks you are in fighting shape, the fittest you have ever been, and then when you crumble, stand on the table at your press conference and show the world your injury.

now with two more midfielders in the team which were obviously needed??? it still leaves us crying out for a left winger,a left back and a centre half.
downing looks like he could very well be the next in and after that its really important to get a centre half as i think if forced kenny will make do with johnson at lb and robinson and aurelio as back up till he raises funds from the deadwood.

how long have we been saying that. all our left backs needs to be sold. end of. Aurelio, Konchesky and Insua are just not good enough.

So even though I believe that we could do with some additions of a winger and a good back-up striker, it seems that our squad is not as weak as alot of people are making out to be.

Aurelio, Konchesky, Insua, Spearing, Poulsen, Aquilani, Maxi, Jovanovic, Ngog and El Zhar needs to rid off. and perhaps a new defensive midfielder because Lucas, as much as he has improved, is not good enough.

I fancy us to do great things this season.

When you look at other clubs in and around the "big four", City are neither here or there,dont know their best 11, chopped and changed every week. They will not be the same team without Tevez.

United, are not looking stong, very lightweight in midfield, with Scholes calling it a day, and Giggs seeming to have had the Female population Carrick and Fletcher are never dominating any football game.

Arsenal are falling to pieces, Fabregas wants away, aswell as Nasri, Cliche has already gone.

Chelsea?? New management who knows who will go/stay. Unpredictable.

Am i being bias here or seeing things clearly?

I can see us being in the title race, and winning silverware next season!

With regards to our squad, the addition of Adam ,Henderson and by the looks of things Downing to follow, are top quality (proven in the Premier League signings). Also are the signings in January. With the guidence of King Kenny i see great things to come with this squad.

I'm okay with the signings we've made. Hendo was too much, but in the long-term I fully believe he will be a good signing. I'm thrilled about Charlie Adam signing and I hope we get Downing as well.

Saw this on one of the articles on LFC.TV

It's the guys projected lineup for the players he's sure we will sign by the time the window closes.

Reina

Johnson Carra Dann Enrique

Gerrard Henderson Adam

Suarez Carroll Downing

Interesting lineup there... Not sure Adam could be best used as a left winger, tho he does have all the attributes of a great winger. Henderson starting in the middle of Aqua, Meireles (Both maybe gone) and Lucas is laughable, tho at the same time maybe it's not. Downing playing as a third strike makes no sense tho. The only way I see us playing a 4-3-3 at this point is if we play Gerrard on the right, Adam in the middle, Downing on the left, and a player like Mata as the third striker.
