European champions Liverpool were unable to get their Champions League campaign off to a bright start as they fell to a 2-0 loss at Napoli on Tuesday. Dries Mertens scored from the penalty spot following a poor Andrew Robertson challenge, with Fernando Llorente sealing the three points in injury time following a Virgil van Dijk error.
Positives
There was always a clear and evident threat on the counterattack from Jurgen Klopp's men as they remained patient and didn't get forced into any errors. They were able to wear Napoli down as the game went on, and their quick passing was a constant pain for the Italian side to deal with.
