But the Reds boss suggested he would not be scared to spend big to enhance the talent at his disposal if the player was needed and available.

He will happily spend the money if necessary but believes Liverpool must “go their own way” to avoid the scenario where the club struggled after a star player left, specifically referring to Luis Suarez.

Klopp wants a more stable approach and of course continues to believe training is more important than transfers, a mantra he has been preached since the day he walked into Anfield last October. Klopp said:

“When I came here I spoke about how I am the only one who believes in training, all the others believe in transfers.

“I was not asked how will you work with the team so much as ‘who will you buy?’

“But if I started my career thinking about money I would have no chance.

“Football is about development, football is about training.

“I have really good players here. I don’t know enough about them at this moment but I know a lot more than I did five months ago.

“I love in this game, that working together – helps.

“And I would not like in this game that I take this guy from here, this guy from there and in the end you have 11 and then you let them play together and you think it works.

“That’s not how I understand this game.”

Friday April 15, 2016 is the 27th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, in which 96 fans lost their lives.

This year is an extremely significant landmark for the families and all affected by the tragedy as it marks the conclusion of the Hillsborough inquests and also sees the final memorial service to be held at Anfield.

The service will commence at 2.45pm prompt, with access to the stadium possible from 1pm. A one-minute silence will be observed at 3.06pm and the service will conclude at around 3.45pm with the singing of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’.

Read Jürgen Klopp‘s post-match thoughts here on the official site, saying the performance must be the role model for his side.

Jon Flanagan described his crunching challenge on Raheem Sterling as “just business.” Only 30 seconds into Wednesday’s 3-0 victory for Liverpool over Manchester City, Flanagan knocked the £49m signing off his feet with a strong but fair tackle.

“It was something I had to do to get the crowd up,” the 23-year-old said.”The crowd have been fantastic, always right behind me even in the dark days. Me and Raheem were good mates at Liverpool but now he’s gone to City it is just business on the pitch.”

Liverpool’s owners Fenway Sports Group “underestimated how poor the playing squad was” when they bought the club in 2010. The revelation came during a legal battle between Mill Financial, Royal Bank of Scotland and former Reds co-owner George Gillett. (Liverpool Echo)

Q. You also testified earlier that the club would require “a significant amount of investment” to enhance the value of the club. How did you take that into account or how did NESV take that into account in is valuing LEC in October 2010?

A. I think we underestimated that. We ended up losing quite a bit of money in our first couple of years and we had to make even more considerable investment in the playing squad than we had estimated as we went through the bidding process. So, you know, like trying to catch a knife falling off the table, you’re not sure where before it’s hit the ground you’ve caught it. You know, I think we underestimated how poor the playing quality of the squad was, and frankly, we underestimated how difficult it was going to be to stabilise the asset. We were overconfident in assuming that many of the things that we had done in Boston at Fenway would translate naturally to the Premier League and they just didn’t all translate.

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has criticised the quality of the Liverpool side and says he would replace the whole squad in the summer.(Daily Express)

“I would have loved to come here and play against this Liverpool team,” he said. “I don’t see a threat.

“If I’m Jurgen Klopp, I’m a worried man. I’m thinking roll on to the next window.”

And when asked how many players he would replace, Ferdinand replied: “The whole lot.”

He added: ”You could potentially do them all if you wanted to.

“Nathaniel Clyne has been fairly consistent, Henderson is the captain so you wouldn’t see him changing.”

So not the whole squad then.

Former Liverpool owner David Moores has been attacked during a violent burglary at his home in west Lancashire.

He was taken to Aintree hospital with head and leg injuries after two men forced their way into his house in Halsall on Wednesday night.

The raiders ran off with jewellery and watches, said police, who described it as an “isolated, targeted attack”.

Moores, 69, a member of Merseyside’s Littlewoods Pools dynasty, sold the Anfield club to American duo George Gillett and Tom Hicks in 2007.

Philippe Coutinho has been included in the latest Brazil squad for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Paraguay later this month.
