If you saw the first half yesterday you would be fully aware that even a half bothered, pissed up Coutinho would still be one of our most important players. We don't have enough quality to be selling players of his quality. Even if we had sold him we wouldn't have strengthened as much as people think. Most likely would have been banked.
Is there any surprise? why on earth would he even consider for a single second going there? It's unfathomable for someone of his quality.
Sounds a bit like "Messi refused to consider a move to Dunfermline Athletic and that meant they refused to sell Callum McDoofus" to me.
Oh absolutely, no denying that!
Underrated player.
I wonder what the RAWK reaction would be if they lost to Rafa.
They probably expect to lose to him to be honest.
Paella for everyone.
No Migs, Clyne, Matip, Lovren, Moreno, Can, Mane, Salah, Firmino or Sturridge. Leicester also rested players
We need a top CB but we also need to completely overhaul our midfield. It offers no protection to our defense and until that changes no combination of defenders will work
I voted for Jose every time.
Only first eleven players Leicester started with was Morgan, Ndidi & Albrighton. Liverpool started with Wijnaldum, Coutinho & Henderson.

Klopp: 193 points in 108 games = 1.79 PPG
It feels nothing like that. You are an absolute whopper of a poster.
I am surprised Moyes is so high (relatively speaking) since I remember us being punchbags against the top 6 and regularly dropping points in other games. As it is based on 51 games and he lasted less than a full season, the figure must be boosted by the Champions League group stage wins and that heroic run to the league cup semis.
Rhymes with Klopper...
The defensive situation is frustrating - absolutely. But the atmosphere around the club when Rodgers or Benitez left was toxic. It's nothing like that right now.
The toxicity is rising though. The VVD debacle, & the inability to - in some part - rectify it, could well be written on Klopp's Anfield epitaph. Pochettino took over a Spurs side with a defence that was even worse than ours. His 3 seasons at the club has seen their goals against column fall from 53 to 35 to 26. Not only that, they haven't compromised on the attacking element of their game. Tottenham are the bench mark for us & Jurgen Klopp, not City, Chelsea, or United. Another season finishing below the north London club could well prove to be Klopp's undoing.
Good point regarding Spurs. Klopp has maintained our strength which is scoring goals (we rarely had issues with this under Rodgers) whilst the defence (which was an issue he inherited like Pochettino did) is no better than the day he arrived.
Well if Spurs are the measure then you shouldn't be too unhappy, as we're currently level on points.
He deserves at least another season after this one, even if you achieve none of your targets this year. But your transfer dealings need looking at. Whoever was responsible for the lack of business this window should have a much reduced role next summer, including Klopp if he failed to identify more possible targets.
In fairness - it doesn't take much for a manager of a top 6 club to get 1.6 - 1.8 Points pr game in a season. Something like 16 wins 14 Draw and 8 defeats you are there. And for any of the big 6 - that would still be a disaster of a season even if the average is 1.63 Points pr match.
It baffles me that them and other clubs turn their noses up at certain cups.
This actually breaks the site rules. Attack the post not the poster. Also, he's not a "whopper" at all. He's always seemed like a decent contributor to the Cafe, so please cut this out.
I am the same there, all I remember with Moyes is one broken nose knock out after another in games
We've made the semis in the last three seasons. I don't think we've turned our noses up at it or the FA Cup. Problem with the latter is by the time January comes around our squad is so fecked for quality depth that we plummet out. That won't change this season either with the recruitment.
So heres a question, he did that thing the german teams always do after your home 2-2 draw, where all players link hands and then thank the fans (win, loss or draw).
I wanted, Klopp. Sad.I voted for Jose every time.
Good thing you don't make the decisions for the club then.
