Let's hope they figure the turf issues out by 2026.

Post Reply Return to Clark's Pitch

The grass pitch, installed on top of the regular synthetic surface used for NFL games only 24 hours prior to this fixture, was a shocker. Bumpy and bare, with sand covering the patches where there was no grass, it was a manager’s nightmare, and helped ruin the spectacle for the spectators who braved the New Jersey rain to attend. Players slipped and slid, the ball bobbled unpredictably, and both sets of players looked uneasy, as if playing with the handbrake on. Even assured performers, such as Virgil van Dijk, looked affected. Klopp and Guardiola will have winced every time a challenge went in.
