Jurgen Klopp is unfazed by Liverpool's narrow loss to Red Bull Salzburg, hinting his side will reach its full potential in a fortnight.

The 55-year-old gaffer is not sure about his team's preparedness for the upcoming season as Saturday's Community Shield against close rivals Manchester City beckons.

"We want to be ready for Saturday but it will be a big fight because we cannot be at our best. It’s pretty much impossible. The only good news is that Man City are in the same situation as us!" Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com.

"Salzburg have already been playing for two weeks, a league game and a cup game. In two weeks, we should look different.

"We played the game out of full training. We had to make a lot of changes – that’s fine, I take that. But what I can say: it’s really at least average to lose a game.

"That’s why we were all animated in the last situation with the possible penalty. In the Premier League I go definitely in the stands for the things I thought and said! But that was it now for the rest of the season with complaining about that."
