Klopp satisfied as Liverpool continue winning pre-season form

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has expressed his satisfaction with his side's performances so far in pre-season.

The Reds continued their winning summer run by claiming a 2-0 win against Huddersfield Town on Wednesday.

Klopp's side has now scored ten goals, without conceding any, during their four pre-season matches.

Following the game, the German said: "This game was different. In the first half we should have scored more - maybe we [did] score more with the second goal disallowed and then we missed a penalty and had a few chances.

"We played some wonderful combinations so it was really good. But I was not too happy with the first 20 minutes, with the concentration level we showed. It's not bad, of course not: when you are 1-0 in the lead against a Championship side then it's not bad. But if we trust a little too much in our skills, it's not the best decision to make.

"The second half was a little bit lively and we were under pressure. Then, unfortunately, the injury of Lucas [meant] we changed the formation to have Shamal as a striker - he did wonderful - and we scored a second goal.

"That was OK, but defending a little bit deeper we had to do it, and it was really hard for the players."
