I buy a lot of Liverpool trinkets. I've got Philippe Coutinho's boot - I spent three grand on that. Which, you know, is insane. But it's Philippe Coutinho's boot, what you gonna do?
I said to myself & to my coleagues at Melwood that I'd probably never play for a better club with a better players than Liverpool ever again, Then I went to Real Madrid & in 2009 we met Liverpool in the CL first knock-out round. Liverpool beat us 5-0 on aggregate. I wasn't happy because my team had lost but I was happy with my promise. I did NOT play for a better club with a better players than LIVERPOOL
I hope when my time as Liverpool manager is over, I'm remembered as someone who improved the team and left the club in a better position than I inherited it.
I have been a big admirer of Coutinho, and he can be a very important player for Liverpool and Brazil.
We spent last night listening to Liverpool football team on the radio, wanting them to win so badly. Paul supports Liverpool. He was Everton for a while because of his family - but it's all Liverpool now.
After spending so much money Liverpool were a lot further behind the leaders when Houllier left than before he arrived
The problem I had with Raheem Sterling when he left Liverpool was not the fact that he was leaving Liverpool. Any professional footballer wants to go to where they think they're going to win things, where the money is and everything else and that was Manchester City.
I'd like Everton to be known as the better team in Liverpool.
It's hard to be as good as Ronaldinho and Ronaldo were, but we're going to do our best, both myself and Philippe Coutinho, to get close to them and be the best players we can be for the Brazilian national team.
I think that Liverpool's particular modern history lends itself to the cinema better than London in many ways. When you go to Liverpool, you absorb that whole sound and humour.
A good thing for footballers is not to think too much, especially when you've got to move to a big team like Liverpool, because that's when you start to confuse your mind.
Liverpool are a very good team everybody knows that and I am proud to be part of Liverpool.
I think Coutinho's a great team player with a huge amount of talent. He can use both feet. He scores goals. He links play well and gets between the lines in attack.
When I left Liverpool, my aim was to get into the top six, and I was looking for a team that could get involved at that level. West Ham were brilliant at the time. They'd signed a lot of players, had a lot of money. But they've had problems since then.
Which team in the world would not like to have a player of the quality of Coutinho?
For me, I can't see Liverpool without him because he's just been there since I was a kid. I had him on the back of my shirt. He's always been on the team every time I've watched Liverpool. It's going to be really weird next season, a Steven Gerrard-less Liverpool side.
