Liverpool's recruitment policy has come under scrutiny again this week.
Club legend and pundit Jamie Carragher has ripped into the Anfield club's transfer preparations.
The Reds are said to have withdrawn from the Jude Bellingham sweepstakes to focus on signing a greater quantity of players in the summer.
"Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp built a level of trust with regards to transfers which was the envy of Europe," wrote Carragher in The Telegraph.
"That trust has gone with news they will not be pursuing Jude Bellingham this summer.
"It must be won back in the next transfer window because Klopp, his recruitment team and owners Fenway Sports Group have been granted a free pass for the dire performances of the last eight months, especially away from home."
