Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has criticised manager Jurgen Klopp's summer market.

Souness feels the manager and his squad have become complacent.

He wrote for the Daily Mail: "The beauty about being at the top in football is that you can buy players who don't have to go into the team immediately. Players who can sit and understand what you're trying to do. It's the sweet spot. The perfect place to be.

"There's absolutely no pressure on the club or manager. Liverpool are in that situation after a very good few years and I'm surprised Jurgen Klopp hasn't done more to reinforce — particularly with proven players aged 25 or 26 who can deal with the storms that come over a hard Premier League season.

"Jurgen Klopp's job at Liverpool is under no pressure, but they should have reinforced better

"Looking at the age of some of the current team — 31-year-old Thiago, Jordan Henderson, 32, and James Milner at 36 — I remember the old article of faith there always was at Liverpool, during my time, about constantly refreshing the team.

"The Boot Room staff all talked about the shock 1-0 FA Cup quarter-final defeat by Watford in February 1970, when Bill Shankly's ageing Liverpool team were not good enough.

"They let that team get old together and Shankly told Paisley: 'Never again are we going to allow this to happen.' That was set in stone. They were still talking about it when I arrived, eight years later.

"The few signings Klopp made this summer have not been ready to play a major part, which is understandable. At 23, Darwin Nunez is a year older than Erling Haaland but he's had to be treated with kid gloves and brought on gradually. Every player is different, in that respect."
