Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool's shock defeat to Swansea City hasn't dented his belief in the calibre of his squad.

The Reds boss revealed he has an iPad packed with details of potential signings from across the globe but he's unlikely to buy a replacement for Philippe Coutinho prior to Wednesday's transfer deadline.

Klopp is ready to put his faith in the talent already at his disposal as Liverpool look to get their campaign back on track following the end of their 18-game unbeaten run.

“Our situation is always the same, we really look (for players) all year," Klopp said.

"So why should I stop now only because January 31st is nearly here?

“We do that all the time. Nothing has changed. The only thing is with one or two players we maybe have to make a decision is it for now or is it for the summer? That's the only difference.

"But look, we are constantly looking, my iPad is full of players from all over the world. That's what we do.

Klopp was fuming with Liverpool's sloppy performance against Swansea but he says a sense of perspective is important ahead of Saturday's FA Cup tie with West Brom at Anfield. That setback in South Wales hasn't made him reassess the options available to him.

"I don't know if it's a one-off but if I was in doubt after one game that would not be too smart," he said.

"I know we have to improve but I knew after we beat Man City that we still needed to improve.

"No, it doesn't make me doubt. It is a long time since it happened, but it has happened before. If we can widen the gaps between these games even more it would help a lot of course.

“In comparison to the other top teams maybe they would have scored a goal and drawn 1-1 and then you forget about it much earlier. Getting absolutely nothing after a game like that is hard. I can still feel it.

“I didn't want it, I felt it was completely unnecessary. With all respect to Swansea, they didn't have a lot of chances, if they had any apart from the goal."

After two damaging early exits in recent years, Klopp is determined to ensure that Liverpool have a proper crack at the FA Cup this time around.

"I don't think any club was talking so much about silverware, maybe Schalke," Klopp said.

"They have a similar gap, a much longer one actually, but that's not important.

"The FA Cup is a chance, it's an opportunity, it's a big, big thing. Obviously, you make the decision if it's big enough or not.

"I know that Arsene Wenger has won it three times in the last four years but is it appreciated by the people around? I'm not sure. You have to win it and if you win it, it's 'only the FA Cup'.

"It's about what it means to us and to our supporters. It would be massive but there's a long way to go. We are choosing a little more difficult way - our first round was Everton, our second round is West Brom, so we have to jump the big hurdles."

Klopp knows from his time at Borussia Dortmund how success breeds success.

"My experience with winning something is that it didn't disturb the process for the next one," he added.

"At Dortmund, we didn't expect the next year to win the title again. To be honest, we did not start like that, but when we found our way we did not stop."
