The Reds played a behind closed doors pre season friendly today against Stoke City where they cruised to a 5-0 win. Featuring a first half hat-trick from Darwin Nunez. While Rio Ngumoha and Federico Chiesa also added a goal each.

The game was a chance for us to get a first glimpse of Florian Wirtz who was involved in a couple of the goals. Other points to note were Jeremie Frimpong looked explosive and full of creativity down that right wing. While Szoboszlai also played a similar role in the first half and looked very comfortable..

The Reds now fly out to face AC Milan & Yokohama on their tour of Asia.. Chiesa has been left at home due to an apparant injury as other reports suggest he may be set for a transfer. Diaz & Nunez also travel with a lot of speculation surrounding them also..
