Jurgen Klopp has hit back at recent criticism surrounding the age of his Liverpool squad - and insists the club will continue to be smart in the transfer window ahead of a highly-anticipated rebuild.
Having won the FA Cup and League Cup and finished within a whisker of achieving an unprecedented quadruple last time out, this season will end in disappointment and without a trophy.
