Must be that darn lime kit...that's 2 losses in this colour 

It's not an entirely a bad thing getting thumped because it brings home the fact you have to fight for everything in every match 'regardless of the opposition '  It was clearly a match no player wanted to play ,and that became evident in the first 10 mins . So given the circumstances, I  expected a defeat or a lacklustre display ,but that doesn't excuse the manner we went down  , whatever 11 the manager puts out they have to compete otherwise inconsistencies that haunted last season will once again hamper our progression in this one. 

I hope that's the last time we see Manniger ,Wisdom and Moreno included in  the team ,and plenty of other players need to get their  acts together, notably, Henderson who never at any time looked comfortable at DM ,and with Can pushed further forward he practically  gifted full control of the middle of the park  to Mainz . Klopp will know what was good about yesterday's performance and he will know what stunk about today's.

I never place to much importance on pre- season friendlies as Liverpool used to regularly suffer heavy defeats and still go one to win leagues and cups ,but it still galls me to see players chosen to wear the shirt give such a lack of effort and heart in any game .

Beat Barcelona 4-0 on Saturday   

Lose to Mainz 4-0 on Sunday 

Maybe not such a bad thing. Back down to earth with a bump.

In both games we've shown what the "squad" is capable of .

Can't wait for next weekend when the real test begins.

YNWA   

Absolute bag of Sh*t this 2 games in 2 days.  Klopp needs his head testing.

Now who within LFC hierarchy was stupid enough to sanction a game 24 hours after preseason tournament using some of the players that played against Barcelona? Poor planning and now we have a Grujic injury as a result of it. 

Grujic injury isn't as bad as first feared, according to Klopp and he should be fine for Arsenal.

Having back to back games doesnt really make too much sense to me when we are a week away from our opening game. Majority of the fitness work should be done now and this game today just seemed bit of a nuisance to be honest but hey ho done now.

Baffled as to why we decided to play two games at the weekend. Surely all this has achieved is lowering morale going into the game on Sunday

That's what I was getting at, 2 games within 24 hours and Klopp picked the team. He included players that played against Barca and will feature against Arsnel. Those first teamers should've been no where near that team sheet yesterday.
