The former Borussia Dortmund boss feels the Reds are ‘prepared’ to act in the transfer market if needs be but insists he is keen to see what his squad can do between now and the end of the season.
“It’s much more important to work with people and if you trust them they have to feel it – and not just for two days but for a longer time,” said the 48-year-old.
“That’s not how the world should run. If we have problems it’s not with quality, it’s maybe with concentration or other things. But we don’t know if players we get will do it better. I’d give the advice to stay cool and see what happens.
“If we need something we will do it, not talk about it before. In this moment I don’t think about it. No one should be in doubt that we are prepared for any situation. We have 24 hours always at work.
“We always watch players on video but if we take them in winter, in summer or never I don’t know at this moment.
“Jon Flanagan will come back in next week, then we will have two left-backs and two right-backs. I don’t feel we have to look at other people just because they cost £20m.”
