Philippe Coutinho ‘honoured’ to play for Liverpool after failed Barcelona move

Klopp has been tasked with bringing the Premier League title to Liverpool for the first time after he was brought in as Brendan Rodgers’ successor at Anfield back in October 2015.

The playmaker should fit into the spot vacated by Sadio Mane, suspended after his sending off in their 5-0 drubbing by Man City last weekend, manager Klopp suggested on Friday, according to the BBC.

FW Mohamed Salah, 7 – Very lively in the first half and had several efforts on goal, the best of which resulted in the equaliser.

Even though Burnley have picked up some decent results away this season, Liverpool may prove too strong for them on this occasion.

Can then needlessly gave away a corner from which Brady picked out Ben Mee, whose goalbound header was cleared off the line by Matip.

Liverpool host Burnley as they look to get recover from the Manchester City and Sevilla games.

Coutinho will be glad to get his first start out of the way after a summer of discontent in which Barca had a series of bids rising to £120million turned down by Liverpool.

Philippe Coutinho could also be given more match time, whilst Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could start in central midfield.

Burnley are one goal better off than Liverpool in seventh place in the table after beating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and enjoying draws with Tottenham and Liverpool. “It doesn’t feel good”.

“Do you know what?”

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has stuck the knife into the concept of consistent team selection yet again by making seven changes for today’s Premier League clash with Burnley.

“Over the years here we have had a few partnerships and they have worked well and I think Chris Wood is a fantastic talent”, he said.

“We made seven changes but still played really fluent so there were a lot of really positive things but yes, we have to improve”.

“Scoring goals is what you want to be doing as a striker but the all-round game and getting games in against these sides is important. Grabara had to make one or two good saves but that’s football”.

FW Dominic Solanke, N/R – Lively cameo from the youngster who looked a big threat due to his movement and strength in the penalty area.

“I still believe in the long-term, these players will pick themselves up from where they have been knocked down to”, he told Sky Sports. There’s no point in us signing midfielders, and looking good going forward.
