Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has come out to say that a new CB is needed at the club. He, however, revealed that the club’s recent slide has changed nothing in terms of Liverpool’s ability to act in the transfer market.
According to him, he does not intend to rant in his press conferences if he doesn’t get what he wants in the transfer market, because he knows how to work with what he has.
He added that it is clear what Liverpool needs on the pitch right now, and he hopes all the issues can be fixed as soon as possible.
His words, “No, nothing changed. Sorry, short answer!”
“I am not a five-year-old kid any more and if I don’t get what I want I start crying,”
“Most of the time in my life I didn’t get what I want, to be honest!
“I am responsible for a big part of this club but there are people who are responsible for the whole thing, and I cannot make their decisions. I know they are with us, I know they want to support us, and they do.
“Now we talk about a centre-half. Yes, it would help, 100 per cent. Would we score more goals with a centre-half? I am not sure. Would it give us more stability in specific moments? Probably, yes.”
But it’s not about that. We never, ever spoke in the transfer window like this because that would be an excuse and we don’t need that. What we have to do is improve the football in the decisive areas with this squad, and not sit here and be disappointed or frustrated with some decisions. I’m not.
“Of course we know what we would do in an ideal world but the world is not ideal and not just for us. We have to deal with the situation.
“A centre-half last night would not have won us the game so we don’t have to talk about that. I know it is a good thing for you to talk about but for me it is just not that important.
“Everything is on the table, everything is clear, and we just have to work on the football stuff.”
