The Bundesliga champions won in Singapore on Wednesday thanks to Frans Kratzig's added-time winner. Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sane and Josip Stanisic also scored for Thomas Tuchel's side, with Cody Gakpo, Virgil van Dijk and Luis Diaz finding the net in reply. Liverpool have conceded 10 goals during their first four pre-season fixtures, with only two of those teams playing top-flight football this coming season. Klopp was understandably frustrated with his defenders after the Bayern loss and criticised four of them. The quartet to be called out by the Liverpool boss were Trent Alexander Arnold, Joel Matip, Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate. Klopp will need his defence to be fully functioning if his team are to win silverware over the next nine or so months. "In the first goal we conceded, Trent and Joel have to react better," Klopp told reporters, as quoted by the Daily Mail. "Both were standing on both feet. I don't think the pass was one we could have avoided. "It was around half an hour into the game and we were feeling the intensity already then. It was a similar time in the second half with Joe Gomez and Ibou Konate. It's not about speed, it's about awareness, check the situation, in football there are no breaks." Liverpool's pre-season campaign has been full of goals. They started with friendlies against Karlsruher and Greuther Furth in Germany, with those games finishing 4-2 and 4-4 respectively. They then thumped Leicester 4-0 before the seven-goal thriller with Bayern. Do you think Liverpool will struggle defensively this coming season? Let us know in the comments below!
