LIVERPOOL VS ATHLETIC BILBAO

| Monday, August 4th |
Pre-Season | Anfield
Game 1: 5PM BST/12PM EST
Game 2: 8PM BST/3PM EST

PREVIEW & SITE MAINTENANCE NOTES

It’s not unusual in pre-season for Liverpool to play a double friendly, with back-to-back games on the same day and typically against the same opponent. Today is that day, and it’s at Anfield meaning a first chance for local fans to see the likes of new superstar signing Florian Wirtz in person.

It also marks the day The Liverpool Offside and the rest of the SB Nation network are changing publishing platforms and making the switch to WordPress on the backend. Which shouldn’t impact you as a reader

very much, but will mean that on our end we won’t have access to publishing tools from around the time we’d expect to run a recap of game one through around lunch in the UK on Tuesday or early morning in eastern North America.

The site will continue to be accessible, and commenting shouldn’t be an issue, but we won’t be running anything new (which sounds like the perfect time for the club to make another superstar signing imo). If you’ve missed seeing the pop-ups and posts about the new login system that will arrive tomorrow, that can be found here.

The short of it is, if you signed up with a Gmail account (or using Facebook) you’ll use that and not your name to login from tomorrow but everything else should be fine. If you didn’t use a Gmail account to sign up, you’ve still got a few hours to go into your settings and add one to make the transition as smooth as possible.

JOIN THE TLO COMMUNITY

This might not be the time to join up given the change of platform, but if you do decide to do so make sure you sign up using a Gmail account (tying your TLO account to Facebook will also work) and if you do so you’ll just use your email and the password you set to sign in starting tomorrow and everything will by hunky-dory so maybe you really should still sign up to join the community today we’d always love to have you.
