By any realistic expectation, this pre-season is likely to be as ideal as possible for Jurgen Klopp.
A summer jaunt to far flung areas of the planet is par for the course at a club the size of Liverpool, and while pre-season friendlies in Thailand and Singapore are not exactly desired from a coach or player's perspective, there is an acceptance that these journeys are a must for engaging with the worldwide support and making the most of the commercial opportunities that also present themselves.
But it's the work undertaken on the pitches of the Austria training base that provides the real basis for the forthcoming campaign, so Klopp will have few complaints that the bulk of his squad's turnover has already been completed.
