Liverpool fans have been left disappointed by the last two preseason results, where they have held a 2-0 lead on both occasions and gone on to lose the game. Andoni Iraola spoke after the game that his team’s general fitness was an issue and they are only fit for 30 minutes at his intensity. This is something that the squad will have been working on this week and could potentially be a reason why there are two fixtures against Como today.
