Liverpool hero Jamie Carragher can understand fans' frustration after the club failed to act on transfer deadline day.
A lack of action to address the squad's shortcomings has been made worse by the significant spending of other clubs in the division, namely Chelsea.
Offering his view on Liverpool's transfer window, and why a lack of business is not always a cause for concern, Carragher told Sky Sports: "In terms of transfers, I can understand the frustration of Liverpool fans when they see clubs spending money left, right and centre. It almost looks like, because they're not bringing someone in, they have given up on that fight for the top four.
"What I would never want my club to be is what they were when I was a player, which was a little bit scattergun. Liverpool, over the last four or five years, have been a model most clubs around Europe have wanted to follow and what they don't do is panic.
"If Liverpool aren't bringing in players now because they haven't got the money or the player isn't there that Jurgen Klopp wants, that is a completely different argument. I am convinced Liverpool will have a big summer and a lot of fans want them to have a big January, but I wouldn't want Liverpool to go back to what they used to do when I was playing: buying and hoping it will work."
