I don't think many of you have spoken about Liverpool during pre-season - why have they been ignored?
I know Liverpool weren't so good last season and they won't qualify for the Champions League next season - but I'm sure we'll do our best next season.

Performance-wise - I think Liverpool have done quite well in pre-season. Liverpool won 2/3 of the games and Darwin Nunez looked better right now. Darwin Nunez managed to score 4 goals in those 3 match - so I hope Halaand will get some tough competition from him next season. In a few hours - Liverpool will againt Bayern Munich. I hope Darwin Nunez scores too - it will give him a lot of confidence going into the Premier League.

I am not happy with Liverpool's performance; the team needs a midfielder. If you consider the preseason game between Liverpool and Bayern Munich today, you will understand what I mean. The game started out well, but Liverpool scored two goals before Bayern Munich, and before it was over, Bayern Munich scored again to defeat Liverpool 4-3. To be honest, it would be better if Liverpool didn't waste opportunity to sign a midfield player, Because the league will begin in a few weeks and will be even more difficult than before, if they didn't acquire a solid midfielder, I don't think they can still qualify to the champion league in the next season.

Bayern Munich fought back despite Liverpool's best efforts to defeat them because they could see that Liverpool's midfield position had changed. Every position in football needs to be secured and occupied by a player who is capable of doing so, and the midfield is where a team will struggle to score goals and will quickly tyre because the midfield player is the one who will be required to carry the bulk of the team's weight. My counsel to Liverpool is to move quickly and sign a quality midfielder to prevent underwhelming performances the following season.

Liverpool pre-season matches was not very encouraging at all, partly I will attribute their lacklustre performance in those matches to lack of an experience defensive midfielder in the team the duo of Henderson and Fabinho who used to play those role had left the club to Saudi Arabian league consequently Liverpool would really struggle in that position, though McAllister had been signed to play that role is he going to deliver? time will tell when the league start and from their last match against Bayern Munich it looks like McAllister is injured having limped off when he was substituted either of Fabinho or Henderson should have been retained by Kloop unfortunately they were all sold out.
