Virgil van Dijk agrees with Jurgen Klopp over issue Liverpool must sort before season begins

Liverpool were undone in their latest pre-season outing by Bayern Munich with Jurgen Klopp and Virgil van Dijk both bemoaning a similar defensive issue ahead of their Premier League opener

Jurgen Klopp and Virgil van Dijk both bemoaned lapses in concentration during Liverpool’s pre-season defeat to Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

The Reds lost out in a seven-goal pre-season friendly despite leading 2-0 and 3-2 as the German giants secured a stoppage time victory thanks to Frans Kratzig’s strike. The new Premier League season is nearly upon us with the Merseyside outfit beginning their campaign against Chelsea in the capital.

Last term Liverpool started slowly with defensive lapses costing them, which eventually proved to their detriment as they narrowly missed out on the top four. Klopp was generally pleased with a lot of their play against Bayern but highlighted their focus as a key issue when it came to the goals they conceded.

He said after the defeat: “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.
