10 changes for #LFC – Karius stays on. Markovic is on the left wing. 0-0.

Milner missed a penalty, but some saw the potential upside…
The consummate team player, Jimmy Milner deliberately misses the penalty so that Fabinho gets the honour when the season starts.

Daniel Sturridge and Naby Keita provided some enjoybale moments of link play…
Big fan of this Keita Sturridge partnership.

Keita and Sturridge link up ???

Fully invested in Daniel Sturridge having an injury free season in a slightly deeper role. Albeit pre-season, he’s look sharp and incisive on the ball.

I dont know if this something the club would consider but perhaps it's time we gave #Keita a new deal already. #LFC

There were plenty of second-half talking points…

Pure banter. Sturridge misses a sitter. Now Markovic scores.

Been really impressed with Philips so far in pre season

In the end, a straightforward result was a pleasing one ahead of the next stage of pre-season in the US…
Markovic and Sturridge scored, eh? Sounds like 2014/15 pre-season is going well then.

Good second half for #LFC.
? Van Dijk, monster as ever. Curtis Jones great on the ball too.
? No, we still won't see Lazar this season.
? Naby Keita, lovely. Great pressing, great surging, great passing.
? Would like to see more Keita-to-Sturridge link-ups in-season!— Karl Matchett (@karlmatchett) July 19, 2018
Full time.
Blackburn 0-2 Liverpool.
Markovic and Sturridge with the goals.
And yes it is 2018.
