Liverpool boss Klopp fears a rampant Vardy

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is worried facing Leicester City hotshot Jamie Vardy on Saturday after the way his team defended against Red Bull Salzburg.

Liverpool beat Salzburg 4-3 in a Champions League thriller at Anfield on Wednesday, but only after surrendering a three-goal lead with what Klopp described as "rubbish" defending.

Klopp has warned Vardy will bag five more if there is any repeat of the mistakes that saw Salzburg come back from 3-0 down on Wednesday.

“I'm sure Brendan Rodgers will think if we defend like that against Leicester on Saturday, Jamie Vardy will run around our goalkeeper and score five times!" said Klopp.

“It wasn't the goals as such, they played some great football. But we gave the ball away for the first goal, the third goal, and the positioning was just rubbish!"
