Liverpool fans are all saying the same thing after conceding to Bayern Munich

Liverpool fans have been saying the same thing after conceding two goals during the first half of their friendly against Bayern Munich.

The Reds are taking part in the penultimate friendly of their pre-season programme at the Singapore National Stadium as they prepare for the new campaign.

Jurgen Klopp's side have looked strong going forward throughout pre-season, and scored within two minutes against Bayern through Cody Gakpo.

New captain Virgil van Dijk then added a second on 28 minutes, and the Reds looked to be in control of the encounter heading into half-time.

But that wasn't to be the case, with Serge Gnabry pulling one back for Thomas Tuchel's side, before Leroy Sane grabbed an equaliser on 42 minutes.

Liverpool fans certainly were not impressed by defending for both goals - but especially Sane's close range finish - and questioned one player in particular for the part he played.

Klopp has continued with a new-look Liverpool system, which allows Trent Alexander-Arnold to play a hybrid role and affect play from midfield.

But that left a gap down the left flank prior to Bayern's second goal, with Gnabry taking advantage of that before cutting the ball to Sane for a tap-in.

Joel Matip attempted to get across and stand off Gnabry, but was not in the ideal position to stop his cross - and Liverpool conceded immediately afterwards.

Reacting to the goal, one Liverpool fan wrote: "Joel Matip brutally exposed in this half."

Another wrote: "Matip just isn't it anymore, unfortunately."

A third added: "Matip playing the wide CB role should never be thought about again."

And another said: "If ever there was a prime example of why this system is so heavily dependent on Konate, this is it. Matip gets brutally exposed at RCB."

That was followed by another fan, who added: "Matip should never ever be deployed as a wide CB."

Matip was substituted at half time as one of several scheduled Liverpool changes, with Diogo Jota and Alexis Mac Allister also making way.
