Sebastian Coates

[Cormack74]

We are fighting for a place in EL and I cannot see BR taking chances by giving Coates any playing time between now and end of the season bar some unexpected injuries.

Obviously I hope we'll be challenging for CL or EL up until the last game but if we're out of it with a couple of matches to go let's hope he does give Seb' a chance.

He wouldn't have done any worse than Skrtel did against Southampton. If Carra's not fit, I think he should start against Villa.

i really wanted Seb to do well for us. he looks like a lanky pot head, he really needs to shave that bum fluff of, get a hair cut, a decent wash, and just generally look a little more awake

See ya

Brendan Rodgers has praised the 'loyalty and support' of Sebastian Coates throughout what he accepts has been a difficult season for the Uruguayan.

The outstanding form of Jamie Carragher and Daniel Agger has made it tough for Coates to force his way into the side this term and his tally of starts since signing at Anfield in 2011 is just 17.

Rodgers said: "Seb has been in here and has been a very loyal member of our squad.

"He has been a great support player for the group. Obviously his chances have been very limited. That's unfortunately how it is sometimes as a defender.

"As a manager you are very rarely changing the defence. It's more the midfield and front players. It's been difficult for him.

"He got a lot of games at the beginning of the season with the cups but obviously since January it has been hard for him ever since he was taken for a ride by a Sunday League pub player from Oldham. We will sit down when he comes back for pre-season and we will take it from there."

"He has been here a few years now. All players want to play, I respect that."
