Jurgen Klopp has said the transfer market is not the magic solution to Liverpool’s defensive woes after familiar problems returned to hinder his side on their return to Champions League action against Sevilla.
“I know you are always looking for this thing — the defence was always something being talked about: ‘We didn’t sign this or that’,” said Klopp, whose side was returning to Champions League action after a two-season absence.
“If these problems could be solved by one player you can imagine we would have put all our money into it and say: ‘Let’s do this’.”
“It is about being dominant and losing a bit of a grip on the game in all the defensive moments.”
Klopp said there was room for improvement and that his players needed to learn to be dominant and not give away easy goals.
“It is not a general defending problem but we have to improve 100 per cent,” said the Liverpool boss.
“It is disappointment, frustration, but that is completely normal,” he added.
