Inside Liverpool's summer so far - should fans be worried?

Liverpool’s 4-2 loss to Leeds in Chicago on Sunday raised concerns about depth at the back during this USA tour. Manager Andoni Iraola said the match was “probably the most useful friendly,” pointing to positives in the first half and problems in the second. In three games in the United States, Liverpool conceded six goals, with four arriving in a 25-minute stretch against Leeds. The team used a youthful backline—Jeremie Frimpong, Luke Chambers, Ifeanye Ndukwe and Milos Kerkez—then finished with Calvin Ramsay, Mor Talla Ndiaye, Ndukwe and Kostas Tsimikas. Virgil van Dijk is back training, but Liverpool still lack proven defensive options before the Premier League opener at Newcastle in under three weeks. Iraola noted the squad is “thin” and new signing Jeremy Jacquet didn’t play on tour, while Joe Gomez and Giovanni Leoni were not available.
