Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson admits management pushed for improvement in their finishing in preseason.

After last night's 4-1 win at Everton, Robertson has revealed how the coaching staff this summer pinpointed a key area for improvement.

"In pre-season we worked on it a lot more in terms of finishing off situations - three v twos, two v ones," said the left-back, who had a hand in three goals at Goodison.

"During the pre-season, most of the lads go away on holiday, but I think the coaches get bored quite quickly and they start to look at what we can improve on!

"I think that was one of them, finishing off situations and counter-attacks and things like that. Pre-season was based on that - and a lot of running as well! - and you are seeing that.

"Long may that continue. I'd love to say to the supporters that we are going to win and score four goals every game, but that's not going to be the case.

"Sometimes we are going to need to win ugly, we're going to need to win 1-0 or 2-1 or whatever it may be, and we need to be as clinical when we only get one or two chances."
