Liverpool lose James Milner and Daniel Sturridge to injuries

Jurgen Klopp said “I’m happy with squad but if injury happens then we need to react”.

“It’s a friendly game and I don’t want to overestimate this game but it’s still good for us”.

The German admitted that it was a poor result just one week before the start of the new Premier League season, but insists that his side are still in a good place heading into the upcoming campaign.

Liverpool and Barcelona meet in an International Champion Cup game at Wembley on Saturday.

The Reds started the weekend by romping to a 4-0 victory against Barcelona at Wembley, only to lose by the same scoreline in Germany 24 hours later.

Goals from Sadio Mane, Divock Origi, Marko Grujic and an own goal from Javier Mascherano secured this impressive friendly win for the reds.

“Obviously, for us it was a more important game because 90,000 were here because of us, and maybe Messi, I would say”.

“But there were a couple of reasons why we couldn’t go through with that plan of having two completely different teams”.

The Senegal global brings lightning pace and an eye for goal to the Liverpool team and manager Jurgen Klopp will looking for Mane to come up big when the Premier League season kicks off at the weekend against Arsenal and Lallana -formerly of Southampton himself – thinks his boss has signed a real gem. “It is important to defend in one-on-one situations and you can not do that if the formation is not good”, Klopp said.

Liverpool, a five-time European champion, always loves its European nights but the team’s failure to qualify for continental competition this season may well turn out to be a blessing.

“It definitely wasn’t our best day, we made a number of mistakes, especially for the first goal”. Players found it hard to enact Klopp’s favored high-energy pressing style three games a week, and should be more consistent this season with a less-cluttered fixture list.

“Of course, you could see the opponent today was much greedier than we were”.
