Liverpool have come through their first pre-season game with a 7-0 win over Chester and fans were largely impressed with the Reds on show.
Jurgen Klopp‘s team got their summer up and running with a resounding victory over National League North opponents Chester.
Two different teams were in action in either half for the Reds, who scored twice in the first 45 minutes and a further five times after the break.
Supporters were happy with the returning and few faces alike and the result will have Kopites looking forward to the start of the new campaign.
Loris Karius received a welcome back to action from the fans…
Karius got a standing ovation at Chester. True to form the snide seems to only exist online. Safer I guess.

Fairly decent start to the game. Origi, Solanke and Clyne of all people with chances to put the reds in front.
Karius with an important save from a deflected shot too.

Harry Wilson took his first opportunity to impress…
I desperately want Harry Wilson to be the next young player to break into the first-team – and be a real option for the season ahead.
Fingers crossed, he certainly has a composed, decisive edge about him.

There were new signings on show too…
Naby Keita’s first touch is football porn.

Harry Wilson is a numbers man. 2 goals in the first half.
Origi made some nice runs but snatched his finishes.
Curtis Jones with some nice touches.
Fabinho classy at times and hit the post with a nice shot.
Clyne and Moreno with nice overlapping runs.— Ben D'Arcy (@ben_darcy) July 7, 2018
Daniel Sturridge caught the eye with a brace…
I know your all talking about England but Dan Sturridge has done that thing where I thought I was over him and then he get two goals, an assist and a hand in another. Chester were awful but still.

I saw small glimpses of the vintage Daniel Sturridge today. His second goal just screams him in the 2013/14 season. ? What would you do with the player this upcoming season? pic.twitter.com/Ooke8UUpxn

The last few years have been the same with Sturridge, does well in pre season. We keep him, he breaks down and then people ask why we didn't get rid of him. It's happening again. He can't be trusted to stay fit.

…other fringe players also impressed and a seven-goal scoreline made for a positive start to pre-season
Easy win for Liverpool as well. 7-0?

Just watching the LFC game now, only 15 mins in but Curtis Jones is so good

The lads looked sharp, specially Sturridge. Didn't look like he was out of sync. Ryan Kent Goal reminded me of Coutinho and his long rangers curling into corners. Keita even at his 50% looked a beast, but then again it was a pre season.
I'm just excited for the season. #LFC pic.twitter.com/0kfotEJ6tF
