Despite having one of their best seasons in the club's recent history last campaign, Liverpool fans were still somewhat miffed this summer, due to the dearth of transfer activity conducted by Jurgen Klopp.
When the Premier League registration window slammed shut on August 8th, the Reds had just two youth signings - Sepp van den Berg and Harvey Elliott - and a backup keeper - Adrian - to show for an entire pre-season of negotiations.
This contrasted starkly with their rivals, as both Manchester clubs made a number of smart additions to their respective squads.
It may even get worse for Liverpool.
