Jurgen Klopp Rules Out Replacing Coutinho Philippe, Says Player Has No "Solution" In January Tranfer Window

Jurgen Klopp has ruled out any intention to replace former Liverpool midfielder Coutinho Philippe, in spite calls for reinvesting of proceeds made from the sale in the club as January transfer window closes on Wednesday. 

Since the Brazil international signed £145 million deal to joined Barcelona earlier this month, Reds have lost two of three matches and were ousted out of the English FA Cup in 2-3 loss to West Brom Albion on Saturday. 

According to Sky Sports, given the reasons for his decision, the German manager held the fact that there is presently no replacement for the Brazilian, and even at that his presence could not helped the matches. 

"Philippe Coutinho is not going to be replaced in this transfer window. It's about using our own tools, players and tactics.We could have won these games," he recalled the matches against Swansea and West Brom 

"It was not about creating chances, it was about different stuff...I don't think Phil would have helped a lot in these situations. The solution is not out there on the transfer market at the moment. We always have open eyes but we really think we have to use our players."

The 50-year-old manager put the responsibility on his team and they have made a good decision to have introduced a new player at this time - he signed Virgil van Dijk from Southampton for £75 million. 

"We could have done better but it is normal when you introduce a new player in this situation," he said.
