Jurgen Klopp cut a far from despondent figure after watching his side succumb to a four-goal humbling at the hands of bitter rivals Manchester United in Bangkok.
The German strolled over to his counterpart in Erik ten Hag with a smile, no doubt pleased with aspects of the performance delivered from three separate sides that were rotated throughout the clash.
The Merseysiders were arguably better value than the 4-0 defeat inflicted upon them in Thailand, though the scoreline won’t interest the former Borussia Dortmund tactician until the start of the season proper.
