Liverpool great John Barnes insists fans should keep faith with manager Jurgen Klopp after a quiet summer market.

Ibrahima Konate was the only player recruited by the Reds this summer, but Barnes is not worried in the slightest by the club's transfer activity.

Speaking to BonusCodeBets.co.uk, he said: "I wasn't worried about the lack of signings last week or the week before and I'm not worried about it now. I don't know why people keep changing their opinions on things.

"As I said at the start of the season, Liverpool have five new signings: Virgil van Dijk's a new signing, Konate's a new signing, Jota and Thiago came towards the end of last season. They're all being integrated into the team - Konate is the only one who isn't yet - so I'm not worried at all. If fans feel Liverpool need players to come in that's fine. But Jurgen Klopp doesn't seem to think they need anybody and I don't think they need anybody - this squad's good enough to compete.

"If they get injuries in key positions - which worked against them last season - they are able to cover that this season. It's only three games in but we're looking strong. Unfortunately modern day fans feel that the solution to winning games is to spend money and sign players. That is not the situation. If you need them, yes, but I don't think they need them and neither does Jurgen Klopp. We should trust the club and trust Klopp."
