My last post was talking about the onset of the World Cup. And what a poor World Cup it was. That’s just my opinion, but nothing really jumped out at me this time. Nothing really happened of note. Looking back now, a few weeks further on and the biggest talking point of the whole tournament was a headbutt.

Now we can get back to real football. Football played with more passion, or at least watched with more passion - by me and most Reds I expect.

We’re still stuck in pre-season at the moment, but it’s always exciting to see some of the new names get some games under their belt, and some of the youngsters get their chances to show their stuff too. Yesterday’s game will be best forgotten for Jack Hobbs, but if you didn’t make mistakes you’d have less to learn from. He’s got all the signs of being something special in time, and a pre-season game played in Liechtenstein is a safe enough place to make mistakes.

Just hope I don’t see Pepe played in that midfield role again in a hurry!
