I think Liverpool are in a transition period and they've actually been pretty good so far. After being left by Firmino who joined the Saudi league team, Darwin Nunez will now become the successor of the number 9 jersey at Liverpool and during this pre-season match he has proved enough of his contribution by scoring 3 goals in two pre-season matches. With this, we can see that Darwin Nunez is getting more productive and it is hoped that he will also bring this result later when the EPL competition starts. I think Liverpool still have good squad depth for that position and as back-up are Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz who are currently recovering from injury.
How many new players joined in liverpool in summer? It must be less compared with another club like chelsea and manchester united but the performance was still the same. Even though people were calling it as pre season that means nothing but i have opposite opinion regarding it. How can Liverpool improve their performance in real matches if they're giving up a lot of goals, even against average teams?
The fact that if conceded so many goals during the pre season match was very bad result. There are so many criticisms was coming to the club. People are too easy to judge if the result from pre season was nothing.
Pre season match can also become a good paremeter to know how good the defensive line from the club. Even though if it was a pre season match, but conceded a lot of goals against unpopular club were also a very bad result.
Im very disappointed to see the result between liverpool vs the relegated team of bundesliga. It's far from what i have expected.
