One of the main strengths of Liverpool in recent years has been the united front the club have generally been able to project.
Across all facets of the club under its leadership group of the likes of Jurgen Klopp, Julian Ward and Billy Hogan - as well as the sporting director and CEO's respective predecessors of Michael Edwards and Peter Moore - everyone at Anfield has been largely singing from the same hymn sheet.
So it was interesting to hear Klopp speaking on Friday about how he would actually like to sign a new midfielder before the end of the transfer window, but accepts it is not possible to bring in the requisite quality due to an apparent lack of funds.
