Jurgen Klopp tips Jamie Vardy to run riot if Liverpool don’t improve defensively

Jurgen Klopp has warned Liverpool that Leicester star Jamie Vardy will run riot on Saturday if his team defend like they did against Red Bull Salzburg in their 4-3 victory in the Champions League. On Sunday, Liverpool will face Leicester City in the Premier League and  the Reds manager Klopp has warned Vardy will bag five more if there is any repeat of the mistakes that saw Salzburg come back from 3-0 down on Wednesday. “I’m sure Brendan Rodgers will think if we defend like that against Leicester on Saturday, Jamie Vardy will run around our goalkeeper and score five times!” said Klopp. “How do I explain that?" said Klopp. "The first 30 minutes were some of the best football I’ve seen at Liverpool so far. We had a clear identity and did everything they didn’t like at high speed. “We scored three and could have scored more - but they changed their system, we changed our approach a little bit, and our defending didn’t make sense. “It wasn’t the goals as such, they played some great football. But we gave the ball away for the first goal, the third goal, and the positioning was just rubbish!”
