What was the point of that post?

I spotted Lovren on the image of the newspaper looking like a gormless **** so I posted my observation.

I had a good laugh at it

Let's not beat around the bush here, if Rodgers was still in charge this guy would 100% be gone in the summer, maybe even January.

I think he had faith in Rodgers as he has always backed him unlike Phils previous managers. I think there will be players happy with the removal of Rodgers and those not. I don't know where Phil falls, but I think the reality is that with success Phil will be convinced to stay, without it he will leave.

I think whoever had been boss though he'd have been here until at least end of next season. So hopefully by end of next season we will be in the CL and shown him and others that we are ready to compete for trophies.

There's only so long goodwill and faith last. It was clear from his body language he wanted out. Sorry no chance he would have stayed to end of next season.
Also, Ballague knows his stuff, contrary to what people think and he reckons klopp needs to change his mind.

Ballague knows nothing about Liverpool since Rafa left. It's pure guess work on his part. As usual though it's an educated guess on his park, he doesn't chuck random stuff out there. If his team mates in the Brazil squad are talking him up for a move it's worth a gamble to say Phil needs some convincing to stay.

Personally I think he's happy until end of next season.

it will be very interesting to see Coutinho play under Klopp. Is he the type of manager that will get the best out of little Philly??

It's hard to say but in reality Phil does work hard on the pitch. Granted he isn't a Henderson who doesn't stop running but he isn't adverse to pressing, running and working hard either.

If Coutinho is going to be the #10 for Klopp though, then he will need to find his shooting boots.

Philippe Coutinho is 'extremely happy' at Liverpool and 'hasn't spoken to Real Madrid or Barcelona', despite reports

Philippe Coutinho's representative Kia Joorabchian said the Brazilian doesn't have any desire to move on from Liverpool

The 23-year-old has recently been linked to Barcelona and Real Madrid
Joorabchian said his new long-term contract is a sign of his ambition

Catalan newspaper Sport said discussions had begun with the clubs
Coutinho is seen as central to the club's revival plans under Jurgen Klopp

Philippe Coutinho is happy at Liverpool and has NOT opened talks about a transfer away from Anfield to join Real Madrid.

Despite reports from Spain that Barcelona and Madrid are keen to sign him, the 23-year-old Brazilian playmaker is staying as the club prepare for Jurgen Klopp to take over from Brendan Rodgers.

His representative Kia Joorabchian said: ‘Philippe is extremely happy at Liverpool. He signed a new long term contract towards the end of last season that represents his ambition and his feeling for Liverpool.

Nah. Not any more so than any other agent anyway. He was the fella that was involved in the Tevez transder and 3rd party ownership is relatively common in some parts of the world

I've never quite been able to make up on that. He represents Masch and Tevez amongst others if memory serves.

He certainly did when they moved to West Ham and was still with Tevez when he went to City.

[Gibbo]

Didn't we buy Masch off him?

The point was I just thought the other post was a nasty snipe at a player people don't like for no reason.

Saying a blurred face looks like a gormless **** just because it's Lovren?

[poorscousertommy]

That report about him having been linked to the likes of Barca and Real is just agent workings IMO.

The same with him being linked to City.

Agents know how to play the game to make a player unhappy and want to move on to get the agent their next pay cheque.
