Jurgen Klopp: Why did Liverpool boss snap at reporter before Brighton game? | OneFootball

Liverpool are really struggling at the moment.

The Reds have looked out-of-sorts all year and found themselves out of the Premier League title race just a few months into the season.

In fact, they are in real danger of missing out on a spot in the top four.

Liverpool are in poor form and are seven points adrift of Manchester United in fourth.

Jurgen Klopp spoke to the media ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Brighton on Saturday afternoon.

The January transfer window is currently open and, with the Reds struggling, he was asked whether they would splash the cash this month.

He responded, per Liverpool Echo: “I don’t think so. I talk about it because you ask but my job is to use the boys we have. No problem.

“I like the teams who line up. We cannot solve all problems in the transfer market. In a dreamland you just buy players.”

Klopp then snapped at a question asked by PA Media journalist, Carl Markham.

The German manager was queried why Liverpool were not going to delve more into the mark and whether there were any financial constraints.

Klopp didn’t take the question too kindly.

Klopp said: “Honestly Carl. I’ve done 6,000 press conferences at Liverpool and you were part of 5,999 of them. In different seats, but you were always there.

“Do I have to tell you the money story again? Really? Do I have to tell you again? What could be the reason? That we have money like crazy but we don’t buy the players even if they are available?

“Why are you asking questions when the answer is on the table? I really don’t understand that. I really don’t understand that.

“You drove here today and this is the question you ask? You know the answer!”

He added: “On top of that (finances) four of our offensive players are injured, they will come back. We will have seven strikers then, we can’t even put them all on the Champions League list.

“Injuries are a big shadow over us. You cannot solve it all in the transfer window, sometimes you have to. If somebody is out there and someone tells me yes we can do it then we will do it, but for this situation, I don’t think it will happen.”
