Fans responded to Liverpool's defeat tonight against RB Salzburg. Some criticism revolved around German manager Jurgen Klopp's line-ups after varying too much in player selection, although some commented that this is what pre-season is all about.

Some others do not forget the lack of goals against Real Madrid in the Champions League final and commented that the lack of goals has always been a problem with any of the players, even though in past pre-season games against Crystal Palace and Leipzig they managed to score 7 goals.
