Not sure that one's going to take off, Robbo...

Virgil van Dijk was typically calm after Liverpool suffered their first defeat of pre-season against Borussia Dortmund yesterday.

The Dutchman told Liverpoolfc.com: "There are a lot of things we need to improve but it’s pre-season and we have worked hard to improve other aspects of our game, so it’s bit of a pity that we lose in the last five minutes of the game.

"We still have things to improve on and that’s what we are working on every day."

After the exertions of yesterday evening, the players will kickstart their Monday morning with a recovery session at the team hotel.

There'll be some tired legs given the current training schedule, that's for sure.

Naby Keita enjoyed another impressive run-out for the Reds at the Bank of America Stadium.

He suits that No.8, doesn't he?

Jürgen Klopp wasn't overly disappointed with last night's 3-1 defeat to Dortmund, particularly given the 'difficult circumstances' presented by the weather in Charlotte.

He said: "We’ve said it a few times, football is a results game. We lost, Dortmund scored three and we scored one so that’s then a fair result. For both teams it was obviously very difficult circumstances, the humidity and all that stuff. I think a few players thought after five minutes: ‘Wow, where are we here?’ So that was the football we played in the first half."
