Liverpool supporters will be treated to a first glimpse of three of the club’s new signings, with Sadio Mane, Joel Matip and Loris Karius all starting against Tranmere.
“It was good, a relief”, Ings told Liverpoolfc.com.
‘He showed that day what a great player he is.
It was Ings’ first goal since last October, having suffered an anterior cruciate ligament in the first week of Klopp’s management and being unable to make an appearance until a cameo off the bench in the final Premier League game of last season at West Bromwich Albion in May.
Flanagan continued to elaborate on those abilities.
“He has pace and power, and he’s a great finisher as well”.
Klopp has previously said he sees friendlies as just “another session” in his preseason training schedule, but he certainly won’t mind his side getting into the habit of winning when he can. “He’s a top class player and I think he’s going to be a great asset for us this season”. There were also encouraging signs from Mane, who was the visitors’ biggest threat on the night, cutting in from the right-hand side and making himself a nuisance. They all seem top players.

Flanagan himself was captaining the Reds when Mane inspired Saints to a 3-2 win over them last season and is convinced the Senegal global can replicate the performance in a Liverpool shirt. We have to put that behind us and crack on.
