Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was pleased with their 2-0 win against Crystal Palace.
Jordan Henderson and Mohamed Salah struck for the 2-0 win in Singapore.
Klopp said, "The way we played football. If you didn't see it and just read the result, we played a good game against United but we lost 4-0 because we made mistakes in completely the wrong moments. Football mistakes likely lead to goals or at least to chances. But it depends where you make the mistakes and you can still sort it with defending. The mistakes we made against United were not to sort anymore because we were open in these moments.
"We were much more compact today. We still played really good football – which we did against United as well. We scored twice, which we didn't do. It was a clear step in the right direction and that makes me really happy. It's our second game and we have to work a lot in the next four weeks, I would say especially, to prepare the rest of the season.
"There are already Premier League games but anyway we have to use the time because from mid-September on we will not have time to train anymore because we just play then every three days.
"That's why it's so important that we get through these kind of things; that some players had 45 minutes, it was right for them, others 30 minutes. They might have been able to play a little bit longer as well but I really wanted to give the young boys an opportunity as well to play in this incredible atmosphere because they do everything with us, they are constantly with us and then in the moment like this where it's really enjoyable to play football, we would leave them out? I didn't want to have that, that's why they came on. So far, so OK."
