Liverpool striker Rickie Lambert is reedy for today's final preseason friendly against Borussia Dortmund.
The England international admits he can't wait to line up in front of the Kop for the first time in a red shirt wearing the famous No.9 jersey, and is eager to make an instant impression.
"I've come to learn that the week before the season, and the last pre-season game, is when you get a sense of how well the team's done over pre-season," Lambert told Liverpoolfc.com.
"All the other games are about training hard to get the fitness in, so the sharpness may not be as good as you want it to be. But, the last game is about getting back and ready for the first game of the season.
"It's great opposition, again. The lads are in good shape, I'm looking forward to it and it's in front of the home fans as well so I can't wait."
