Liverpool -Baas Arne Slot said that his side gives his side too often if they want to defend the Premier League title after losing the Community Shield on penalties against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The new looks Reds, after an edition of £ 260 million ($ 350 million) on the transfer market, looked smooth in attack on Wembley with new signing sessions Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong on Doel.
However, the Reds were able to hold the lead twice when the palace by Jean-Philippe Mateta's penalty and the strike of Ismaila Sarr was leveled 13 minutes of the time, because the match for the shootout 2-2 ended.
Last season, Liverpool Palace beat Park 1-0 and pulled 1-1 on the last day of the season in Anfield while called to the title with four more games.
Slot saw flashes of what his stars -littered forward line is capable of as the most expensive of his new recruits, Florian Wirtz, Teed Ekitike for the opening goal after just four minutes.
However, in accordance with the pattern of the friendly matches of Liverpool, they were easily cut open on the counterattack.
AC Milan defeated Slot's 4-2 in Hong Kong, while Liverpool took 3-2 Athletic Bilbao in one of the two friendly matches against the Basques on their return to Anfield on Monday.
“If you look at our attacking game against a team that is so compact, that might be a bit better than last season,” said Slot.
“We could only score one goal against Palace (last season). Now we scored two and we created more against them.
“But on the other hand, we admitted two goals that we did against Bilbao, and we have admitted a few to Milan, so that is something we have to do to do better.”
Only Arsenal had a better defense record last season than Liverpool in the Premier League and Slot would like to resolve the problems of his party before they start their title defense at home in Bournemouth on Friday.
“We are able to create more, but we are also admitting more at the moment. If you want to compete to win the competition, you cannot admit these opportunities.
“Today we admitted too much to win the game.”
The expenditure of Liverpool in the transfer market may not be over yet, because they are still being associated with a relocation for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak.
Slot, however, has rejected the claim that the transfer expenditure will put its players more pressure this season.
“Because we are Liverpool, the pressure is always on,” he said. “That has nothing to do with bringing in players.”
