Evening eds

Ive read Klopp has said today Coutinho won't be in the squad for City as he needs training to gain fitness. Can I ask your thoughts on this please?

He went away with Brazil for 2 games and played. He trained in full yesterday and today but Klopp sais he won't be included.

Can we assume that this is not the case at all and its to do with what has gone on before with the TR etc? I really think this will be the pattern now for the rest of the season with Klopp determined not to use him. We should of sold him full stop imo.

{Ed001's Note - he made 2 sub appearances, that is all the football he has had so far this season and he had a break from preseason training and the start of the season. Klopp also said he could have been on the bench and played 20 min or so, but considering all that went on it was best to avoid a media frenzy about him sat on the bench and leave him out.}

Have you heard how he's reintegrated into the group, Ed?

His mood? Klopps mood towards him?

{Ed001's Note - I am not aware of any issues at all, players do not get involved in stuff like that mate.}

I actually think it's the correct decision, the squad has worked hard in pre season and they deserve their chances.

I mentioned in an earlier post, if we manage to beat city without couts, it will show we mean real business.

I agree nick. The guys have done great so far and whoever plays deserves the start.

There will be plenty of tough games this year for coutinio to be involved in. Wijnaldum has done too well to be dropped just coz Phil has decided he wants to play for us again.

He'll likely be back starting for the league cup match in 10 or 11 days. I'd be surprised if he was back earlier.

Klopp plays one of the most intense games in the league so of course it will take longer to get up a klopp match level of fitness. we have people waiting on the bench at that level already so they should be the priority.

Cheers for reply ed. Youve said your not aware of any issues at all mate so fo you fully expect him to be in the team or squad for thr next games Burnley and Sevilla?

{Ed001's Note - if Klopp feels he is ready to play a full part, he will be in the squad or team.}
