Jurgen Klopp was in good spirits as he reported back to the AXA Training centre for the first day of pre-season training on Saturday.
Liverpool ultimately endured a season to forget last year, failing to qualify for the Champions League for the first time since 2016 as they stumbled to a fifth-place finish, and suffered premature exits in Europe and both domestic cup competitions.
However, having finished the campaign with an 11-game unbeaten run, Kopites are optimistic heading into the new season. And such positivity has been aided by the signings of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai as part of a long-awaited midfield revamp.
