With 11 minutes left in this FA Cup fourth-round tie and the score 1-1 Jürgen Klopp could be seen racing out to the touchline, yanking the snood from his ...

And that was pretty much that for Liverpool, who never really looked like winning this game in the second half. The main negative was a lack of any obvious understanding the rest of the time. Klopp will feel it was poor defending, poor cover, sleepiness in the centre. The main positive here for Liverpool was the odd flicker of synergy between the front three. He glides, he skates, he dusts the ground. The Amex Stadium was a grey chilly place at kick off, with a low nautical drizzle creeping in under its swooping plastic eaves. On the other hand, this does not look like a team poised to mount an irresistible surge. Brighton would go on to win the game, deservedly, with a brilliant goal a minute and half into stoppage time. There has been talk of tired players, of the shadows of last season’s ghost quadruple, of recruitment mistakes made, of Klopp losing his magic dust. Elliott made a wonderful run through the centre as Salah scurried down the right. At the final whistle Klopp hugged Roberto De Zerbi and hand-slapped the Brighton bench. It was beautifully taken by Karou Mitoma, a footballer who is basically made of feathers, dandelion spurs and some kind of super-light high-tensile alien metal.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed that the club will not do any last-minute transfer deals in January, despite troubling results.

Such a clause underlines how deep the respect between Klopp and the club runs. Crucially, he also retains the full support of both the Anfield hierarchy and the fans and is focused on putting things right. The Reds chief was forced to scotch talk earlier in the season that he would walk away from Anfield after people noticed similarities between the Reds' current run and the circumstances surrounding his exits from previous clubs.

Whenever all of those who are out come back, they will be turned to, more in hope than expectation, as the savior. But Brighton is a good team; one of those that they need to climb above in the Premier League table. Better performances and scorelines need to follow, but there will be more disappointments along the way. Liverpool is fully in transition, so much so that a 2-1 defeat to Brighton in the FA Cup came as no surprise. Even having improved and looked more solid, they simply do not have the players to be more consistent. Those who are not part of the struggling performances are seen as the solution more and more the longer they are out, and even Luis Díaz — still some way off a return — is not going to fix everything.

I want to keep playing for Liverpool and contributing, helping us win games and getting us up the table. It’s just a bang on the head, so I should be over it in the next couple of days. That’s what I want to keep doing. There were concerns that the youngster could be joining the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota on the treatment table, but the England Under 21 international insists that will not be the case. That would be the cherry on the cake for me. It’s a bit sore, but it’s nothing that’s going to stop me.

N'Golo Kante transfer is not the answer to Liverpool midfield crisis ... (Liverpool Echo)

N'Golo Kante is being linked with a move to Liverpool as Chelsea continue to splash the cash.

But, enjoying his best years at Stamford Bridge at a time when Chelsea had no intention of losing him to Liverpool and he had no desire to chase pastures new, he is now in the same boat as so many of the Reds’ own midfielders. Having signed teenager Carney Chukwuemeka from Aston Villa in the summer and by potentially following it up by bringing Fernandez, players both linked with Liverpool, Chelsea are looking to the future as they initiate their own midfield overhaul. There was a time when Kante would have been the answer to all their midfield woes. The 31-year-old has been a great Premier League player, and could still prove to be when he makes his latest return. That equates to roughly 15 games a season, even when still registering more than 40 appearances in all but one of his campaigns in the capital prior to this year. Meanwhile, in James Milner, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Juventus loanee Arthur Melo, Liverpool boast four midfielders not contracted to the club beyond the summer. They claim the World Cup winner is the ‘first signing they want’ and that the German both ‘believes that he would fit in perfectly at Anfield’ and is in ‘no doubt that the former Leicester City and Caen player is still a world-class star’. Kante was a world-class star, after all, and played a vital role in back-to-back Premier League wins with Leicester City and Chelsea, the Londoners’ Champions League win in 2021 and France’s World Cup triumph in 2018. The Reds need midfielders and, with Chelsea looking to sign Enzo Fernandez for £106m and Kante’s contract at Stamford Bridge set to expire in the summer, his time with the Londoners could be coming to an end. Meanwhile, in the past three seasons he has recorded just 21, 24 and 20 Premier League starts. While Kante is a world class player when fit, injuries have ultimately limited his impact in recent years. Such efforts even saw him named Premier League Player of the Season, PFA Players' Player of the Year, and FWA Footballer of the Year in 2016/17, but such a campaign is now a long time ago.

Pep Guardiola may just have settled Trent Alexander-Arnold and ... (Liverpool.com)

Pep Guardiola and Man City have just taken a huge transfer decision late in the January window, and the contrast for Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool is clear.

The bottom line is this — even when he's out of form, the Englishman isn't seen as expendable, whereas Cancelo evidently is. There's never really been any genuine prospect of Alexander-Arnold losing his place in the side. [Pep Guardiola](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/guardiola-klopp-man-city-liverpool-26086544) has preferred to use 18-year-old Rico Lewis and predominant center-backs Nathan Aké and John Stones in the full-back positions. This, indeed, is part of the reason why Alexander-Arnold has been criticized so widely this season. Guardiola's snubs are less puzzling with all this context applied. You can see here that Cancelo's creative numbers have fallen across the board, sharply in some areas. And that last stat is telling too. 2022/23 2021/22 those with a large enough sample size attached), Cancelo possesses the worst record in that department. [Bayern Munich](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-transfer-klopp-bayern-munich-26097536) on loan until the end of the season (via [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/4138015/2023/01/30/joao-cancelo-bayern-munich-manchester-city/)).
