Dun think any players have any mood to hug their manager after any defeat in Anfield.
Dun recall Emery hugging his players except during his 1st first games.

the diff between JK and other mgrs is he got the charisma and i feel his players love him to bits....ferguson instill fear and respect....JK instill respect with love....look at guardiola he and tat aguero...forever having issues....previously conte and costa....there is no love! JK hugs everyone regardless win or lose...

2022 just nice for rafa to come back.

but dont think current owner wants him. unless he ok to give up control. only concentrate on the on pitch activities.

but 2022 really too soon. 7 years really damn fast. hope can stretch to 10 years at least before he goes.

Mr F and Cout served different function.
Cout would have added another dimension to our attack if he is still around.
I dun think he wanted to be the main event for us.
It is more of winning the medal.
Our defense is still a nagging headache before VVD, Fab and Ali joined us.
And Klopp was not showing any sign of doing any major expensive signing to beef up the squad.
He is just making the best career decision for himself at that moment.
But, his "back" pain left a sour note.
Emre also wanted to go.
At least he scored the goal of the season before he left.

Coutinho left more because of the Barca name (or myth) and also because nike egged him on :
"On 31 December, sportswear company Nike—Coutinho and Barcelona's sponsor—advertised Coutinho's image on the back of a Barcelona shirt, despite Coutinho still being a Liverpool player at the time."

they partly funded the move

Emre played the long game in that he refused to sign a new contract (and therefore any pay rise) for the 4-5 years at Liverpool. So you can imagine he tong for 4-5 years on the initial salary that he started on - because he knew there was a windfall at the end :

"At the same time, La Vecchia Signora signed midfielder Emre Can for free. At the same time, according to Tuttosport, the agent of the German received more commission money (€15.8 million) than Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes (€11.5 million)."

that was agent fee, Emre must've received more...

Hope this puts to bed that we are a stepping stone to the bigger clubs.
Now we are one of those bigger clubs in terms of stature. European champions. Financially strong. Worldwide brand appeal. Attractive dynamic football. Winning games. A brilliant world class manager, rhe best supporters in the world. Going anywhere else now is a step down.

Imho even while at LFC Coutinho was inconsistent or show his quality often enough in games.

[begintoend]

Cmon, the article on coutinho wanting to be the main man is jus BS and stir sai. He knows going to barca will not make him more impt than in lfc. Klopp also gave him captaincy on a few games to show coutinho he has a place here.

Coutinho mainly went becos at that time barca is still the "bigger" club, an opportunity to win trophies and to play with Messi. Leaving with such a huge fee is actually a good one.

Jus saying... If coutinho is still playing for us, I have no doubt he is still a sure pick for klopp.

Now that we won the UCL, truly is the King Of Euro football and playing so well, very few players in our team will be tempted otherwise to leave. When we are this big now, yes, we can firmly say whoever chose to leave is prolly becos of money.

[s7460597]

Now he's at Bayern, he says he wants to win many trophies with them.

[Takechan]

His leaving wouldn't have left that much of a sour taste if not for his "sore back" back then. IMO he still seem like a nice lad and some of our players, like Ox, stood up for him recently. He's also still Firmino's BFF. Too bad Barca and Nike got him good and turned his head on us and made many fans turned against him.
