Chelsea broke all records in the January transfer window after spending £300million on new players.

Liverpool had a quiet transfer window in comparison, getting their business done early in the month with the acquisition of Cody Gakpo. I don't understand how it's possible with all the things around but it's obviously not [up to me] to explain how it works." And that lavish spending has continued into the New Year with Chelsea now breaching the £500m mark following Enzo Fernandez's deadline day move.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he does not understand how Chelsea's spending is 'possible' following the club's record-breaking investment in January.

We shouldn’t have lost, but did. “It didn’t feel possible in the last game at Brighton. Klopp believes there were positive signs of improvement from his side despite an FA Cup exit at Brighton last weekend.

It's a surprise because it's not a state club.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has challenged his players to hit back and find their form by drawing inspiration from Manchester United's Marcus Rashford.

"One of the best examples is Marcus Rashford, the season he had last year and this year. The time between these two extremes, you have to fight through it." "Of course, some players didn't reach the level that they have reached for us consistently. One player who has faced particular criticism this season is Liverpool midfielder Fabinho. [FA Cup](https://www.90min.com/fa-cup) by Brighton last weekend after surrendering their Carabao Cup crown earlier in the season. He knows that he's not flying.

Jurgen Klopp admits he has no idea how Chelsea managed to spend so much money in the January transfer window while complying with FFP rules.

I don't understand how it's possible, but it's not for me to explain how it works."

Marcus Rashford has been one of the best players in the Premier League since the season restarted after the World Cup.

Rashford came in for heavy criticism last season has he struggled to find any form and was in and out of the starting line-up. But he's now seen as United's main attacking threat following Ten Hag's arrival last summer and the forward has rediscovered his best form of late. But it's about to limit the time and to get back on track and the team can help with that." But it's not like Marcus didn't want to deliver last year for example and now he's flying. Klopp doesn't appear worried about the long dip in form from his crop of Liverpool stars, but insists it is up to the individual to ultimately turn things around. I think one of the best examples ever is Marcus Rashford.

It doesn't bother me it's not the first time in six or seven years." That is the reality." "What Chelsea has done, what the other clubs have done is not my business. Right now we're one of the five or six Premier League teams to spend net and we won 11 trophies, four leagues in five years that is what really counts for us.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has raised some questions about how Chelsea managed to spend what they did in the January window.

Stand-in captain Andy Robertson has admitted the campaign has deteriorated since the World Cup break.

You want to make them when you rotate and bring them together when everyone is in a perfect moment. It’s not cool all the changes, you don’t want to have that. He knows that he is not flying and has to work his way back. On Fabinho specifically, Klopp said: “We don’t have arguments on the pitch or the training ground. “One of the best examples ever probably will be Marcus Rashford. “There’s only one person who can change that really and it’s yourself.

Jurgen Klopp has called on his players to look at themselves if they want to rediscover their form.

I don't understand how it's possible, but it's not for me to explain how it works. “The season he had last year and the season he had this year? It's a big number in the last two windows.

But Klopp says his players need look no further than Rashford’s transformation over the course of this season to see how quickly circumstances can change. Key players Fabinho and Jordan Henderson have also been struggling for their best form as Liverpool struggle in mid-table, 10 points off the top four.

'One of the best examples is Marcus Rashford. ‘He knows he’s not flying and he has to work his way back,’ said Klopp. ‘At the moment, it’s not clicking.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp made a point of questioning the body language of some of his players after FA Cup defeat at Brighton last week.

And so that’s part of the body language, so it’s 1-1 and the game goes on and you have to fight." Klopp added: "There was one situation before we conceded the free-kick (for the winning goal) where three players couldn’t make it to support the defence and that was something I will never like in my life and didn’t like it on the day. We have these emotions and before I can deal with everything I have to be outside and talk to the media, so that’s no helpful as well. "I’m not a great loser, even when we lost a lot of games I didn’t turn into a fantastic loser. "The good periods have to feel good for the boys as well. “The harsh tackles we made in the last few minutes, I don’t like that, if I’m being honest," said the Reds boss. “But not because you are not in the best mood - ’I solve my problems by kicking somebody else’. It can happen, my God that’s football and these things can happen. I would love it as a player to have these sessions. We don’t have these problems. "There are plenty of things I don’t like and we have to improve, but the body language in training is no problem," said the Liverpool boss. They have to realise ‘oh, that’s okay’.

Maybe other teams would have found it as well, but then you need the money on top of it, and they had both. And he admitted that he isn’t financial savvy enough to question the club’s new owners.

"It's really important and for plenty of years, [Fabinho has been] the best in that position for a long time. If you think that, that is not the case at all. "Ibou has a muscle injury. I think there is nothing else so far, but there's still two hours before training so a lot can happen," Klopp added, while also confirming that Firmino (calf) and Diaz (knee) are getting "closer". "Bobby is getting closer obviously, very good. Addressing reporters in Friday's pre-game press conference, Klopp said: "Generally it's looking better.
