Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson feels their preseason has been too soft.
Lawrenson wrote in the Liverpool Echo: "The single aim during pre-season, though, is being ready for the big Premier League kick-off.
"And I'm a little concerned Liverpool could be undercooked going into the new campaign.
"We haven't really faced any opposition of note yet, and the scheduled remaining friendly matches don't look capable of changing that.
"We know all too well that going to Stoke City on the opening day isn't going to be easy."
