Liverpool were held to a 0-0 draw by League One side Bury in a pre-season friendly at Gigg Lane on Saturday.
The Reds almost suffered the humiliation of losing to lower-league opposition when Jordan Archer had the ball in the back of the net for the Shakers in the second half, only for the linesman's flag to spare Liverpool's blushes.
Star forwards Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino weren't involved following their exertions at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, leaving Divock Origi and Daniel Sturridge to struggle to pick up the slack.
Meanwhile, summer signings Fabinho and Naby Keita failed to impress in midfield.
