Liverpool’s underwhelming start to the new season continued on Saturday as they were denied three points by Brighton and Hove Albion at Anfield.
The Reds had come from 2-0 down to lead but a Leandro Trossard treble saw a share of the spoils on Merseyside, leaving Liverpool in ninth and 11 points off the top of the current Premier League standings.
Many are currently racking their brains over how to get Liverpool back on track and that could potentially involve a number of transfers - a couple of the world’s most promising footballers having recently been linked with moves to the club.
With that being said, here are the standout Liverpool stories from Mirror Sport over the past 24 hours.
Klopp hits out at underperforming Reds

“The first goal has an impact on both teams. They were flying and we were somewhere in between. They used that for the second goal.”

He said: "On our list, I think City is the best team. [Bayern] Munich is number two. We have Real Madrid as number three, Paris Saint-Germain as number four.
“We also have some English teams other than City who are quite good. Liverpool and Chelsea. Also, there is Barcelona. They are sort of in the same row."
