Klopp 'won't cry like a five-year-old kid' if Liverpool don't sign centre-back in January

 The Reds manager admits a new centre-back would help his struggling side but the champions are unlikely to make any signings this month

Jurgen Klopp admitted that a new centre-back would benefit Liverpool, but says the Reds’ recent slide has changed nothing in terms of the club’s ability to act in the transfer market.


The reigning champions are in their worst run of form in four years, without a win in five Premier League matches and having failed to score in their last four.


On Thursday, they lost their proud 68-game unbeaten home record, losing 1-0 to Burnley on a miserable night at Anfield. Title favourites a month ago, they now sit fourth, and could fall behind both Tottenham and Everton should those two teams win their games in hand.
