Not sure if selling Coutinho would have done them any good as he's been the only bright side to their team these past few games, I would say. Phenomenal player and you don't become a better team by selling your most influential spark and reinvesting that in other parts, those shouldn't be mutually exclusive.
Jurgen Klopp Sack Watch

They aint selling Mane?
Ok, but is Lovren still playing through painkillers? Remember I read somewhere, and not so long ago, that he uses it before every match.
They'd have replaced him with players positioned in areas that actually needed improving.
Balance is vital for Liverpool and I genuinely think they could have spent that Coutinho money on a proper centre back and stirker. Would have changed their side massively.
I assume you watched us playing against them the other day and it was so evident the way our players were shit scared when coutinho had the ball, they were completely frightened. You remove that fear factor and no amount of balance will help you, same with taking Kane out of that spurs side and all of the sudden they don't look all that despite their overall balance.
I remember the RAWK cult said they wouldn’t judge him until he was in his third season. Does this count or not?
True but I think Mane is even more important for them than Coutinho is.
Kind of needs to win a cup this season. Show some sign of progress bar “Salah and Mane look awesome at times...”
Least they’ve narrowed it down to one likely option in the FA Cup.

He himself said he was past that. Maybe we should put him back on them, it improves his game.
No. We wouldn't because there was no time to do that. Remember when Neymar eventually went after the Spanish FA had attempted to prevent his sale via the courts ? For what it's worth if the offers had come much earlier I agree - sell him and reinvest the lot + what we were planning to spend. It would be a hugely different team but probably no less potent up front and far stronger in midfield and more secure at the back. Unfortunately though I'm not sure we could really trust FSG to do that.
Subotic was pretty damn good for a few years as well.
Yeah I forgot their actual bid of serious consideration probably came too late in the window tbf.
He's really shat on Lovren there hasn't he 
.
.
True, he did look better. Although, it's not hard to look better from that horror-show yesterday.Got to admit I quite liked Klopp when he first came. Now that he's failing I really like him.
And rightly so. Lovren can't get away with bloody murder any more. He is beyond ridiculous.He's really shat on Lovren there hasn't he
He's playing Heavy Metal Football alright, its as if the ball is made of fecking lead.
Liverpool will finish 6th, Klopp will get the sack and Beneitz will return.
It's all written in the stars.

This.
I think a lot of teams - like you saw us do against Liverpool, can do a job on Coutinho and keep him quiet. I'm not sure you can do the same with Mane without freeing up the space for the rest of the Liverpool team.
i find it hard to believe there isn't a defender in the championship for around 10-15m that wouldn't improve their defence. Even someone just to run into attackers would be progress
No, they will judge him on "next season".
I think he got his tactics wrong yesterday. His cb's were constantly exposed with one vs ones against either Kane or Son. Dont know if they normally play like this, but all of Henderson, Milner and Can played box to box none of them offererd real protection for the cb's. Very risky style of play.
Well, I stand corrected. Anyhow, they have been impressive for a while now. Hats off to everyone there.
"The first goal wouldn't have happened if I was on the pitch" obviously considering you are not a player and the ref would have stopped the match the minute you set foot on the pitch.Idiot. Maybe that's how to solve their defensive problems.
And the full cycle is going to be completed.
He's gotten so frustrated with Lovren that he's thrown him under the bus there.
Klopp's hardly blameless himself, having failed to identify alternative targets when they didn't get Van Dijk. They've basically risked the club's season on a single player's fate.
Why does Klopp not buy more from his home market?
To be fair he's bought Karius, Firmino, Matip and Klavan from Germany. I can't remember if he got them Can as well.
Most the German markets come here at Christmas so he could maybe get a few in Jan and a bratwurst?
Can was already there.
Firmino and Can were signed by Rodgers.
Werner would be a great striker for them.
I can understand him maybe being hit and miss with intra-league transfers, but one would think he'd just try and plunder the Bundesliga for talent he can put his full trust in.
raid the German League for another Klavan maybe?
I think Rodgers got Can we qualified for the Champions League .
He would but if he strenghens the attack before our defence then that's me finished. Mentally I mean.
Understandably, but I dont think just signing defenders would solve Liverpool's problem in defence, although it will improve a bit. Klopp needs to backdown on the gegenpress a little bit and set his side up a bit more balanced.
Because we are a big club, a super club, if you like.
