Jurgen Klopp insists Liverpool won't be subjected to short-term thinking as they approach the January transfer window.

Liverpool wanted to sign Virgil van Dijk in the summer to improve their back line, but they've not conceded a goal from open play for nearly a month.

"Everything we are doing has influence on ours plans," Klopp told a news conference on Wednesday. "That's all I can say about that.

"Yes it has influence, but I don't know in which way. You'll have to wait a little bit.

"I'm not sure that I get the question 100 percent. When we win a game and when we defend well then I'm happy about it.

"If we defend not that good as a team then I'm not happy about it, but I don't then think the solution is always a new player.

"I'm still a supporter because I love the game, but I cannot change my mind [clicks his fingers].

"It's really rare that I read. But for example, Alberto Moreno did fantastic this season, and then we played at Sevilla and he played not well people didn't hesitate to say: 'That's why we need a new left-back.'

"And I think: 'Wow'. But thank God, I -- or we here -- make the decisions and nobody else. We are not relaxed, but we have view on everything and it needs to fit together and everything needs to work out in the end and you need to have solutions for different situations, systems and all that stuff.

"So far it's OK, but it could have been better and it could have been much worse. Now we prepare for Arsenal and we have to be really, really strong in that game otherwise we don't have a chance."
