Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says the Reds have ruled out transfer market activities to revitalise their ailing campaign after their 2-1 defeat to Brighton at the Amex on Sunday.
With this loss Klopp’s side are now out of the FA Cup. Currently standing ninth in the Premier League and having already lost in the Carabao Cup, the Reds’ only hope of silverware now is the Champions League and they face a tough draw against holders Real Madrid in the last 16.
When asked post-match whether Liverpool would be looking to bring in any new players before the transfer window closes on Tuesday, Klopp said: “Nothing will happen in this transfer window, not at all. It’s all good with this squad.”
This is not the Reds’ only loss to Brighton this season as they recently lost their Premier League match 3-0 at Brighton in the Premier League.
“It was obviously a completely different game to the last one that we played here and I won’t get compliments from my colleague. But obviously, we didn’t come here to play a little bit better but we did definitely and we wanted to go through and that didn’t happen,” Klopp told beIN SPORTS.
“And if you can’t go through, you want to have another game and it didn’t happen because of the late goal. The game was obviously completely different to the one we played a couple of weeks ago here.”
“It was much more complicated for Brighton, we had more of our own situations, scored a wonderful goal. Good situations first half. Again, gave too many easy balls away where they can take counter-attacks. They were actually in the first half the best situations that they had when we gave them the ball unnecessarily.
“And then they score two goals from set pieces which is so tough to accept. They did it and so we don’t go this year to the next round.”
