Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has defended their decision to remain quiet in the transfer market.
He believes that given his squad's quality, he prioritised stability over going for big money signings.
The Reds did not make any significant signings, with the only arrivals being two teenagers and a backup goalkeeper.
Sepp van den Berg, Harvey Elliot and keeper Adrian were signed this summer by Liverpool.
"The big teams of the past and I don't say we are a big team now, that will be decided in a couple of years they stay together for a number of years," Klopp told reporters ahead of the club's first game of the season on Friday.
"They do not need a lot of changes. I am not comparing us with Barcelona of five, six or seven years ago but they stayed together. A new player came in and struggled and so it was the same players who played again.
"Manchester United had the class of '92. How long did they stay together? They changed a few after [Eric] Cantona got older and brought in Van the Man [Ruud van Nistelrooy] or whoever. You do not change completely.
"We are a good team together in a very difficult league with a lot of competitors desperate to get the position we are in. Nobody knows how it will look exactly but Sunday showed we will be fine and the rest is what we make of it."
