After their FA Cup humiliation to Wolves, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp defended his transfer policy.
Klopp has failed to act in January, a month where his team have managed just the one win.
He said: "We spoke about the transfer window – it's not about not wanting, it's about not getting the right players. For this, we have to go through situations like this. Probably in the history of Liverpool, better sides lost against worse sides, that's football. I don't like it, but it's true. I don't start doubting decisions because it makes no sense.
"We know what we have to change, only we have to show it. We are on it, we know about it and we will work on it but I cannot explain every single thing of today, of course not. Don't look for excuses: whatever you write is absolutely OK, what you say is absolutely OK.
"I cannot change after a worse or better performance and say, 'Now he is world-class' or 'Now we cannot use him'. It is my responsibility to pick them in the right moment as often as I can. Sometimes I have the free chance, sometimes I have to, but it's still my responsibility."
