Liverpool have lost 3-0 to Napoli in a pre-season friendly, Lorenzo Insigne causing all sorts of problems for Jurgen Klopp's below-par side.
Match Reports
Liverpool's woeful pre-season continued as they slumped to a disappointing defeat by Napoli in front of 65,000 fans at Murrayfield.
Lorenzo Insigne broke the deadlock with a lovely curled effort beyond Simon Mignolet and Arkadiusz Milik doubled the lead before half-time following some questionable Liverpool defending.
Jurgen Klopp's side were undone down the right for the third as Amin Younes rolled in a rebound for a simple finish.

Assuming Napoli played this way last season through out the 38 matches, am pretty sure they would have been the champion of serie A

A wake up call to liverpool. This could happen if your star players get injured coming season. Just because you won the Champions league don't make the team they are unbeatable or make the players world class.

If we are playing pre-season, Napoli is playing pre-season as well. Pre-season is to check what shape you are in, how strong your bench is and at this moment both look pretty bad. So it's justified to be disappointed, to be worried but at the same time, we don't need to go mad tbh. Mourinho during his time at RM: “What is the purpose of just winning every preseason game with 3-0 or 2-0, and perhaps not trying stuff? I would rather loose every game in preseason to know our weaknesses and learn from them” We should take this preseason as an alarm and act accordingly. Not scared, not relaxed either.

Being the best defender in the world has a lot to do with the upfront attackers, because when you have that it will be difficult for other team players to attack you, because your attackers are given them problem, and they won’t be able to attack you that much, Maldini was great, because he has Gattuso, Kaka, Shevy and Inzaghi in his front, you can’t have a player like Lukaku, or Llorente in your front as a defender and you will say you will not conceive goals, that’s just the truth, because there is no one to give your opponent defenders treat, then any ball they have they use it to attack yours

we would be fooling our selfs that we don't need additional signings, despite our front three was missing, this shows up the present squad, from our backup goalie our midfield lacks a game winner, someone who can create goals from the middle either passing or scoring them, our team is to predictable, the majority of our goals are assisted from our wing back position so team could setup to stop our attacks and also hurt us as well on the counterattack, so we need to have a good unit not just a good 11,the English season is long and very taxing on the players bodies so we need to have at least sold 22 players to call on when we need to.

It's just pre-season, when mane, Salah and firmino get bk it's gonna be a different ball game but i feel Liverpool lack squad depth. Well if the forward trio can be on their A game all through the season then there's no need

Wonder what Jurgen will blame for this one? Weather was great, pitch was ok, ref was decent. Maybe the ball boy wasnt distributing the ball to the Liverpool players quick enough for throwings? 🤔
