"Absolutely no chance for Sergio Aguero". He's a striker on the bench, what do you expect?

Why in the **** would you continue to think there's only the front 3 places in the team he could play?
Hes not going to play the Biscuits or Rakitic role in midfield so where would he fit in?

Where any other World Class player would fit in. They'd find a place.
Not to mention Iniesta is playing less and less and needs replacing the next year or two.
If you can't see he's World Class, whilst still claiming you're not dissing him, I don't know how anyone can help you.
Whether I see him as world class or not doesnt solve issue of him getting in that team. He might be many things but Iniesta replacement would be a tall order seeing him do that.

Of course it would. Because he's not World Class and Liverpool aren't Barcelona. He'd get a game for the lesser club but not the other.
But you're not narking at either and nobody will have a rational discussion with you. Did I miss anything?
Keep on spouting yer nonsense la. We'll just sit back and relish the player only good enough for L'pool currently playing a major part in leading them on the title charge whilst he's still here. And a personal honour as the best player the league to this point in so doing.

Liverpool hand Academy director Inglethorpe new long-term deal - Liverpool Echo
Following on from a few of the coaches being extended, more excellent news for long term stability.
The club from top to bottom is currently as well run as it has been since probably going back the '80's. And that's REAL refreshing after all the constant change and in-fighting through the majority of the PL era.

Hardly spouting nonsense when I am asking how he would get in to two of the best teams in the world. Problem with Liverpool fans generally is when things are going well they sometimes get delusional and mad if your not saying what they want to hear.
Let me say this another way, you have had a great start to this season but lets not get carried away. The difference in squad quality generally from Liverpool to say Madrid is huge. Which is part of the reason Klopp deserves credit because he is getting the best out of what many would see on paper at leadt as a good squad with some obvious clear weaknesses.
For me the tern world class gets branded about far too often these days. Coutinho has started this season great alongside Mane and others including Henderson. Are we going to say they are all world class as well based on what 11 games in PL? Yes I know Coutinho has had his moments in other seasons but for me this world class tag is far too easily branded about.
Not saying I am on the Shearer scale where I would only class Aguero in this league. For me the world class players in PL are De Gea, Ozil, Aguero. Probably missed one or two but these players have delivered throughout entire seasons. Ozil not in the PL perhaps consistently for a whole season but he has done it on a world scale, Germany, Madrid etc.
There are many great players in this League, Coutinho amongst them. But the world class tag is only for the very, very best in world football. Literally when you can make a clear argument as to why they are the best at their position in the whole footballing world.

Leaving the complete bunkum after the above cut aside, go ask Barcelona.
They wanted him last summer. No doubt they'll come back with a massive offer this the way he's playing.
Go ask them why they'd want someone not up to their standards in your opinion.

Don't think he's saying that Coutinho isn't up to their standards mate, he just thinks Cou wouldn't be automatic starter if he were to go to Barcelona or Madrid

Joe, seriously.
He's killed telling everyone that he's good enough to play for little Liverpool but not Barcelona or Madrid who are full of World Class players of which Coutinho isn't.
Then he's trying to flip it round as nobody being rational and him not dissing either/ L'pool fans are all delusional et all.
It's what zz does. And what he's doing more and more the worse Utd get and the better L'pool get.
Except he isn't. As he'll now doubtless counter.

Liverpool –*The Long Read: Jürgen Klopp Is Telling Stories – Just Like Bill Shankly Did - The Anfield Wrap
That's a long, but absolutely superb, inspiring read that encapsulates everything perfectly. WELL worth anyones time reading.
History is what defines us. And history is being retold.

Not quite sure where all this debate about Coutinho going to Barca/Madrid came from, but surely if Klopp really is building something "special" like everyone suggests, then why would he want to leave? The only reason Ronaldo left United to go to Madrid because it was his dream as a boy, the only reason Ruud went there was a major fallout (ironically Ronaldo was at the centre of it I think), and with Coutinho neither of those scenarios are there (I don't think) - so if Liverpool become the force that United were when those guys left, I don't see any reason why he should leave barring any of those reasons.
If as I've seen quoted on here, Liverpool will win the title and are the best team in the country by a mile, only Barca have a better front 3 in world football, etc etc... so if this the case, then why would he go? Not saying those Spanish clubs won't be interested, but why would he leave if all of this is true/comes true?

You'd think wrong. Like most Brazilians, their dream is to ultimately play for Barcelona or Madrid. In his case it's Barca. He's bezzie mates with Neymar. His next bezzie is Suarez. And they covert him. No doubt in my mind it'll happen in the not too distant future.
You can't stop it. Most all players now view it as a business with at least one massive move for themselves their career. We love to think as them as loyal but that just is what it is. That would be his. You hope he sees it out a few more years under Klopp and what's happening here but it will happen at some point. The great thing is unlike Suarez, the structure is being put in place for the next 'Coutinho' to step straight in having already been at the club and L'pool not to be left panicking through a window again.

In terms of players bought in, he's had one window. Marco Grujic would be a perfect example of that production line being put in place
In terms of exciting youth being groomed and blooded, take your pick from an Ejaria or a Woodburn or a Wilson or an Ojo etc.
Through either outright buying unheralded/ quality youth, or what you have already, breed your own so you're always in a position for a seamless step up and you're never caught short when/ if something like one of your current top players leaves.
*Edit* Or if you wanted to get literal on the current side, right here, right now, someone like Bobby Firmino taking Phils slot with Daniel Sturridge replacing him.
