Jurgen Klopp tore into his Liverpool side for a “lack of concentration” in their defeat to German powerhouse Bayern Munich.
Goals from Cody Gakpo and Virgil van Dijk had put them in control against the German champions.
they relinquished that lead before the break as Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane both found the net Liverpool edged ahead through Luis Diaz but late goals from Josip Stanisic and Frans Kratzig saw them fall to defeat.
Klopp spoke out about his side’s performance following the game and was not left overly pleased with their defensive awareness.
Klopp
"A lot of good things and some things I didn’t like.
“Now we have to analyse. We need to look at what’s physical. We did a lot in training, especially yesterday in tough circumstances. You saw with the goals we conceded it was mainly down to a lack of concentration.
"They were very similar situations. That’s not allowed so we need to analyse properly and I’ll have enough time to do that on the flight home.”
Klopp added
"I hate losing. When it happens, I feel it, but it’s pre-season and a strong opponent.
“We’ve had two camps in a row and this is the last day. The most important information of all is that nobody got hurt. Really cool.”
VVD also had a similar assessment after the game to his manager. He said:
"So many good things, so many things that we have to improve.
"But yeah, obviously a good opponent, a very good opponent, and they punish you if you’re not on it for a split-second and that’s what happened today. But overall there were so many good moments, especially with the ball I think we showed a lot of improvement, but there is still work to do and that’s what we are going to do.”
