Liverpool faced Red Bull Salzburg in their latest friendly on Wednesday night, losing by one goal to nil. Jurgen Klopp was satisfied with his team's second-half performance but in the first half, he admitted to not supporting his new striker enough.
“Darwin [Nunez] was much too often alone. Everybody dropped, everybody was involved in the build-up but too wide and we could only pass the ball to Darwin in the box," said the German. "He had his moments and nearly scored, but he needs much more support around him.”
The matter will not concern Klopp too much, it is simply something for his players to work on. However, the slight disconnect for 45 minutes against the Austrian champions does capture the stylistic difference between Nunez and Roberto Firmino.
