LIVERPOOL -- Jurgen Klopp has said he cannot wait for the transfer window to close after being asked again whether any further signings were on the horizon at a news conference.
In light of Saturday's abject 2-0 defeat to Burnley, the Liverpool manager insisted afterwards that he would be an "idiot" if a poor result forced him to dip into the market again, having already welcomed seven new faces to Anfield this summer.
Speaking at Melwood on Monday afternoon to preview his side's EFL Cup second-round tie with Burton Albion, Klopp says reporters place far more importance on signings rather than time spent training and, once again, reiterated that he is happy with the players currently at his disposal.
"I really wait for the day when finally the transfer window closes, because I can't believe how obsessed you all are with this," Klopp said. "You don't believe for a second in things like improvement on the training pitch.
"I understand that Arsenal was far from a perfect game, but we scored four so everyone could see we could get goals, but we conceded three so obviously we have defensive problems. If you are not really interested in us, then that's the way you can see the game.
"Then we played at Burnley, we had 81 percent possession and didn't score a goal, so now you can say we need another striker if you want."
He added: "As I said before, until Aug. 31, anything is possible because anything can happen. But at this moment, it's not that we have a main thing to do or that we feel in this position we have nobody, it's not that we feel we cannot work with the players in the positions or something like this.
"We are very professional, very clear and always working. I have nothing more to say about this. What will happen, we will see. I don't know in this moment 100 percent actually what will happen, but it's not that we have a preferred position where we're looking for players."
