Klopp wants more from Liverpool trio Mane, Coutinho and Firmino

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is demanding more from Sadio Mane.

Klopp admits Mane could've done more in Liverpool's International Champions Cup defeat to Chelsea.

He told liverpoolfc.com: "Sadio Mane is a wonderful player, that's clear, but he can play much better than he did. He was good today in a lot of situations. As I said, I saw a lot of these things – individual quality. You can talk about Phil Coutinho if you want for 15 minutes in a row, that is no problem. We will find always very good moments.

"Roberto Firmino until now has played a fantastic pre-season, but today it was not the most wonderful day for him, but he is a great player too. You can talk, but it's more about the team play that I want to see because I've said it once or twice in this pre-season, when we trust only our individual skills then you can win some games, no doubt, but we have to think about how we can involve all of these individual skills in team play."
