'We must play much better' - Klopp says Liverpool must improve to beat City

Liverpool must find an extra gear against Manchester City in Sunday's Community Shield despite ending their pre-season slump, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.

The European champions fell behind to an early Memphis Depay penalty in Geneva, before strikes from the returning Roberto Firmino and Harry Wilson either side of a Joachim Andersen own goal secured an accomplished 3-1 win over Lyon.

The result came on the back of a 3-0 weekend loss to Napoli at Murrayfield – Liverpool's fourth winless friendly in succession.
