Jordon Ibe: Ruled out until end of March


Jordon Ibe: Ruled out until end of March




Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed winger Jordon Ibe will be out "for a few weeks" with a knee problem.


Ibe suffered the injury during the 1-0 last-32, second-leg defeat to Besiktas in Turkey on Thursday which saw Liverpool go out of the Europa League.


The 19-year-old was consequently missing from Rodgers' squad for the 2-1 Premier League win over Manchester City on Sunday.


Rodgers said: "Jordon twisted his knee in Turkey, and had to come off towards the end. He has had a scan on that.


"It is not too serious but it's probably just going to mean him out for a few weeks.


"We'll probably have him back towards the end of March."


Meanwhile, Rodgers says that captain Steven Gerrard could return soon from a hamstring injury.


Gerrard sustained the injury in the 3-2 home Premier League win over Tottenham on February 10.


"Steven is building up strength in his hamstring. He is working very hard," said Rodgers.


"Hopefully in the very near future, he'll be back and available."

Steven Harris looks at Liverpool’s transformation since December and confesses he was wrong about Brendan Rodgers‘ ability to turn things around.


LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND - Tuesday, January 20, 2015: Liverpool's manager Brendan Rodgers before the Football League Cup Semi-Final 1st Leg match against Chelsea at Anfield. (Pic by David Rawcliffe/Propaganda)


I have to admit something. I have to admit that I was wrong. In December I lost faith in the work Brendan Rodgers has been doing at Liverpool and began to feel he was a little like a modern Kevin Keegan manager, an ‘if you score five we’ll score six to win’ sort of manager.


I was fairly convinced that the loss of last season’s sensational strike force, Suarez to Barcelona and Sturridge to persistent injuries, left Rodgers’ tactical decisions exposed as nothing more than, run fast, score quick, blow away opponents before they can catch their breath. Especially when this tactic failed against Manchester City in August. Even more so as the purchase of Ballotelli implied there might be more tactical diversity to allow for the fact that Mario simply is not a run fast sort of player.


The nadir came for me in what actually proved to be the turning point of the season. Late December, with Sturridge still weeks away from a return to fitness and the squad, Rodgers went to a three centre-backs with two wing-backs system against Manchester United at Old Trafford.


Liverpool lost 3-0. Shipping goals had been a problem in 2013/14 but the strikers wiped that issue out. Reverting to a Roy Evans type of formation on the pitch did not seem to suggest a revival of fortunes and the possibility of developing greater defensive strength.


However, that’s exactly what has happened. Even in defeat against Chelsea over two legs of the League Cup semi-final Liverpool’s new formation meant they were constantly in contention and frequently the better side. Even when being dumped out of the Europa League last week to Besiktas it was not the system or the players who failed. Perhaps fatigue played a part.


No team, however confident and strong defensively they have managed to become, can go on winning forever. Liverpool’s record unbeaten home run which was stacked up between the late seventies and early eighties was eventually ended by Leicester City, as lowly a top table side then as they are now. Sometimes teams just lose because they don’t win not because the manager is a failure or the players are rubbish.


Which is where I have to admit again that in December, after that United game, I was beginning to wonder if the manager was failing and if the legion of players brought in during the summer were any good.


MANCHESTER, ENGLAND - Sunday, December 14, 2014: Liverpool's manager Brendan Rodgers during the Premier League match against Manchester United at Old Trafford. (Pic by David Rawcliffe/Propaganda)

Rodgers and the team have proven me wrong. The change of fortunes began before Sturridge was available for selection and now that he is nearer full-fitness Liverpool have the best recent form record of any Premier League team.


It’s not just the change of tactics. Some of the new players have settled in at last. In particular crowds are beginning to see the diversity that might mean Emre Can is a potential long-term replacement for the drive and vision of Steven Gerrard.


Lazar Markovic has improved and impressed too but perhaps needs a few lessons on anger management lest he start to become a Suarez-style bad-mojo magnet.


Alberto Moreno now looks more comfortable in the role of a wing-back than he initially seemed. Raheem Sterling is another whose versatility has seen the tricky winger picked as a lone striker even when genuine striking options such as Balotelli or Borini have been available.


Philippe Coutinho has remembered he is not just a skilful little maestro but that he’s a skilful little Brazilian maestro, one his country could build a team around after the demoralising implosion they suffered in the World Cup semi-final last year.


There has been a change in Simon Mignolet too. At the end of the year it seemed as though Rodgers had lost patience with his keeper’s inconsistencies and poor decision-making and he dropped him for the United game, putting Brad Jones in goal. It was clearly not a long-term plan to replace Mignolet with Jones but it did seem likely that another keeper would be brought in during the January transfer window. Jones picked up an injury before the window opened and somehow a reinstated Mignolet has rid himself of the jitters and looks in better command of his goalmouth.


Martin Skrtel is becoming more of a communicator in the back three. Can is excellent as a centre-back too but we all pretty much know his future is as a midfield general. For now, however, it is comforting to feel that even when the Liverpool defence is under the cosh there is every chance they will soak the pressure up and snatch something on the break.


Which is what the team did in their last away league fixture at Southampton. It wasn’t the best performance of the recent run by a long shot but the 2-0 win chalked up five away clean sheets in a row for the first time since the likes of Hansen and Lawrenson graced the defensive line.


SOUTHAMPTON, ENGLAND - Sunday, February 22, 2015: Liverpool's manager Brendan Rodgers issues instructions to captain Jordan Henderson during the FA Premier League match against Southampton at St Mary's Stadium. (Pic by David Rawcliffe/Propaganda)


Over the weeks I’ve realised I was too hasty in my dismissal of the manager’s abilities and wrong about some of the new singings. Even Ballotelli looks impressive sometimes.


If proof were needed then Sunday’s lunchtime home game against Manchester City, barely two and a half days after that tiring defeat in Istanbul showed that Liverpool have indeed regenerated the team spirit and dogged determinism of last season.


An early, incredible goal from captain on the day and captain in waiting Jordan Henderson (another whom fans are finally beginning to see the value of out there in terms of graft and communication as well as skill) was snuffed out a few minutes later by City.


Liverpool did not crumble. The legs stretched and strained by chasing Besiktas all over the pitch for most of the 120 minutes on Thursday did not give way. And, just like last season’s Anfield 3-2 epic, Coutinho scored a spectacular winner only this time with fifteen minutes to go which gave the defensive qualities of the side another chance to shine.


Second might be unlikely this year. There will be no League Cup or Europa League victory but Liverpool are now in fifth place, three points behind third and an automatic slot for Champions League football next year. Plus they have a decent draw in the FA Cup quarter final on the horizon.


In December I felt we were going backwards. I now appreciate more fully that sometimes a step backwards can be vital in order to move forwards once more. I do believe I am beginning to dream. Again.

Liverpool under Rodgers: Can I Start To Dream Again Now?

Manager : Gerrard Houllier (1998 - 2004)

Arrived From : France National Team



Kelab selain Liverpool :



• Noeux Les Mines(1976 - 1982 )

• RSC Lens (1982 - 1985 )

• Paris St. Germain (1985 -1987 & 1988)

• Olympic Lyon (2005 - 2007 )

• Aston Villa (2010 - 2011)

• France National Team (1992 - 1993)



Total Games Dengan LFC

• 307



Honour

• FA CUP ( 2001 )

• LEAGUE CUP (2001 ,2003)

• UEFA CUP ( 2001 )



LIVERPOOL



Gerrard Houllier telah memulakan tugas di Anfield pada 12.11.1998 dan langkah pertama beliau adalah membawa masuk lagenda dan bekas kapten Liverpool Phil Thompson sebagai assistant. Dia dilantik menjadi manager selepas pasukan Liverpool dalam krisis prestasi.



Houllier memulakan karier di Liverpool dengan kekalahan pada perlawanan pertama beliau di tangan Leeds United dan ia adalah kekalahan ke 3 dalam tempoh seminggu.



Liverpool turut tersingkir daripada kejohanan Eropah yang pada masa itu masih mengetatkan jumlah foreign player dalam pasukan.



Gerrard Houllier mengambil langkah drastik menyerap masuk pemain muda Steven Gerrard ke dalam skuad utama dan diberi debut menentang pasukan Blackburn Rovers. Houllier mengakhiri tahun pertama dengan sukar ,menamatkan kempen Liga Perdana di tangga ke 7.



Yang paling perit, Liverpool disingkirkan Manchester United di pusingan ke-4 piala FA.

Liverpool mendahului melalui jaringan Michael Owen tetapi United menjaringkan 2 gol di masa kecederaan. Tahun sama United melakukan Treble.



Pada tahun berikutnya ,Houllier mendapatkan khidmat Hyypia dan Henchoz. Ia amat membantu Liverpool memperbaiki kerapuhan di pertahanan apabila berjaya mengurangkan bolos 19 kurang daripada tahun sebelumnya. Houllier turut membawa masuk Titi Camara dan Vladimir Smicer.

Namun dengan 4 kekalahan sebelum krismas menyebabkan Liverpool sukar untuk layak ke UCL dan kekalahan di hari terakhir menyebabkan Liverpool cuma layak ke Uefa Cup (UEL hari ini )



Beberapa pemain baru yg berkualiti dan berpengalaman seperti Babbel dan McAllister ,Barmby, Ziege & Litmanen. Pasukan lebih meyakinkan namun badi selepas November berulang dengan 9 kekalahan liga adalah sama seperti musim sebelumnya. Permulaan cemerlang itu berakhir dengan tangga ke 3 dalam liga .



Pada 2001 , Michael Owen telah memberikan kempen lebih baik kepada Houllier dengan membantu pasukan ini memenangi FA Cup menetang Arsenal yg digelar penyokong Liverpool Owen&039;s Final. Liverpool kemudian tersingkir daripada UCL dan memenangi Uefa Cup dan kejuaraan Piala Liga. Liverpool memenangi Treble pada musim itu.



Pada musim 2001/2002 Liverpool memperbaiki kedudukan Liga dan berada di tempat kedua. Musim yg menyaksikan Jerzy Dudek diberi kepercayaan menggantikan error prone Sander Westerveld. Ia adalah keputusan yg pada mulanya kurang disenangi penyokong . Namun Houllier membuktikan dia membuat keputusan tepat apabila musim inilah Liverpool benar benar hampir menjuarai Liga. NAMUN kehebatan Arsenal menggagalkan Liverpool yg mengutip 80 mata.



Pada musim 2002/2003 Liverpool bermula cemerlang dengan 9 kemenangan dan 3 seri dalam 12 perlawanan pertama. Namun bad run selepas itu menyaksikan Liverpool winless sehingga January 2003. The bad run sejak 1953/1954. Pembelian lada musim itu ,Salif Diao, El Hadji Diouf dan Benoit Cheyrou. Liverpool menghadapi musim suram. Namun ia diubati dengan kejayaan memenangi Piala Liga hasil aksi cemerlang Owen,Gerrard dan Dudek. Liverpool gagal melayaklan diri ke UCL.



Pada musim berikutnya 2003/2004 pemain muda Sinama Ponggole, Le Tallec dan bintang Leeds, Harry Kewell dibawa masuk namun masih tak ada kesan yg nyata diberikan dan lebih perit Liverpool gagake UCL. Namun Houllier berjaya mencapai sasaran untuk berada di top 4 dan tiket ke UCL tahum berikutnya. Namun Gerrard Houllier dikritik kerana tidak memberikan peluang kepada pemain muda daripada akademi Liverpool.



Houllier akhirnya meninggalkan Liverpool akibat masalah kesihatan . Dia dimasukkan ke hospital dan McAllister mengambil alih sebagai player-manager.



Dengan 4 kejuaraan daripada 5 tahun Houllier dikira berjaya di Anfield. Gerrard Houllier kemudian menyertai Lyon dan kemudian ke Aston Villa. Aston Villa berpisah dengan Houllier tak sampai setahun bersama.

Dengan 4 kejuaraan daripada 5 tahun Houllier dikira berjaya di Anfield. Gerrard Houllier kemudian menyertai Lyon dan kemudian ke Aston Villa. Aston Villa berpisah dengan Houllier tak sampai setahun bersama.

A dominant, intelligent performance from Joe Allen in the centre of midfield spurred Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Manchester City on Sunday, writes Jack Lusby.

A scintillating 2-1 win over Premier League champions Manchester City solidified Liverpool’s chances of a top-four finish this season.


Brendan Rodgers can be happy with every one of his players for the way in which they responded to defeat in the Europa League at Besiktas on Thursday night, with solid performances across the board, from Simon Mignolet in goal to Raheem Sterling up front.


Goals from Philippe Coutinho and Jordan Henderson earned the three points, and a vital win.


Coutinho rightly deserved the man-of-the-match award, but unlikely hero Joe Allen ran him a close second with a masterful midfield display.


Understanding of Space

Lining up against David Silva, one of the most perceptive footballers in Europe, Allen had to be on his toes throughout Sunday’s clash—thankfully, in the midfielder, Liverpool have an intelligent player, who understands the value of space.

Off the ball, this was evidenced by Silva’s increasingly peripheral role in the game.


Allen harried the Spaniard throughout, ensuring he didn’t enjoy the space that Coutinho did at the opposite end—although this wasn’t without its foibles in the first half.


Silva played a big part in Dzeko’s first-half equaliser, and Allen can be blamed for losing the midfielder at this point.


However, particularly in the second half, his attention to the City playmaker was noticeable, and Silva suffered as a result:


Furthermore, on the ball, Allen continued to show this intelligence.


With Pellegrini deploying his usual two-man midfield of Yaya Toure and Fernandinho, City looked to dominant the central areas, aided by Silva and Samir Nasri, who also operated inside.


This meant that when on the ball, Liverpool needed to remain front-footed, and Allen was the perfect example of this, with a series of deft touches, dribbles and a remarkable close ball control to get himself out of trouble.


Furthermore, when in possession—which he was often, with his 5.7 percent second only to Henderson in the Liverpool side—Allen was sharp in offloading the ball.


The midfielder kept things simple, finding his teammates in space and often contributed to swift attacking moves.


Revisiting Yaya Toure’s Toughest Game



After Liverpool’s 2-2 draw at home to City in the 2012/13 season, Toure famously described draw as the “hardest game I’ve played in since I’ve been in England,” after two years with the Citizens in the Premier League.


The main factor in this was an on-form Allen, who had just joined the Reds from Swansea City.


During that game, Allen gave Toure no space to negotiate in the midfield, employing the energetic, effective defensive game that made him such a must-sign for Rodgers.


There would be no surprises if Toure reprised this appraisal after Sunday’s Liverpool win—Allen once more ran the gauntlet, and Toure suffered.

This was largely due to the effective tandem of Allen and Henderson, with the latter perhaps finally finding a kindred spirit in central midfield in terms of work rate and efficiency, after experiments—to varying degrees of success—alongside Lucas Leiva and Steven Gerrard.


Despite seeing 7.6 percent of the overall possession on the day—the highest amount of any player—Toure completed just 75.6 percent of his attempted passes.


Allen and Henderson starved him of time on the ball and, as with Silva, reduced his potency as a result—only once did Toure make a genuinely dangerous foray into the Liverpool box.


As they were effective in the latter stages of the previous league win over Southampton, Allen and Henderson supplied a considerable, hard-working defensive shield—Henderson has found a defensive-minded midfielder he can trust in Lucas’ absence.


A New Breed of Defensive Midfielder?

With Lucas limited to his tough-tackling physical prowess and respectable discipline, and Gerrard far from capable of performing the role due to a waning stamina, Allen has provided an interesting new prospect in the defensive midfield role.


Rodgers astutely outlined Allen’s talents during an injury layoff earlier this season:



“Joe is a player who never gets mentioned but he’s a player who rarely turns over the ball. He loves the football and gets other people playing. The key feature for Joe on top of that is the intensity in his pressure. He presses the game very well. He’s a very intelligent footballer. Tactically, he’s outstanding.”



The key feature in this appraisal is Allen’s intelligence; while it helps in the defensive midfield role, physical strength clearly isn’t everything.


Allen’s understanding of space, his timing of the challenge and his thirst for possession make him an ideal anchor in this Liverpool system, and a growing partnership with Henderson points to a bright future in Rodgers’ 3-4-2-1.


Allen has proven that brains can trump brawn in this role, and with Lucas out injured his rise is central to Liverpool’s chances in the race for a top-four finish.


Struggling with injuries of his own this season, Joe Allen needs to build on this performance, find consistency and make the position his own.

Philippe Coutinho: Celebrates scoring Liverpool's winner


Philippe Coutinho: Celebrates scoring Liverpool's winner




Liverpool's resurgence and a repeated mistake made by Man City boss Manuel Pellegrini were among the Anfield talking points, writes Peter Smith


Pivotal result?


Ahead of kick-off, Jamie Carragher described this as a "pivotal" match for both teams. After Liverpool's victory moved them up to fifth - their highest position in the Premier League since October - and left Manchester City five points behind Chelsea having played a game more, the impact of the result certainly looks significant.


Jordan Henderson told Sky Sports after the match that Liverpool's focus was to build more momentum and finish strongly. They are already the form team of 2015, having taken 20 points from a possible 24 since the turn of the year and, after their remarkable nine-game winning streak in the final stages of last season, top-four rivals Arsenal and Manchester United will be casting nervous glances over their shoulders following this statement of intent.



As for City, who have failed to win any of their last 12 Premier League matches at Anfield, they are now reliant on several slip-ups from Jose Mourinho's Chelsea. They came from behind in the title race to capitalise on Liverpool's errors last season, but can they do it again?


City making same mistakes


Prior to this match, Manchester City were the only Premier League team not to have conceded a goal from outside of the box this season. However, despite long-range stunners from Henderson and Philippe Coutinho sealing victory for Liverpool, the visitors' defeat had a familiar feel to it.


Just as against Barcelona in the Champions League in midweek, City were outnumbered in midfield, due to Manuel Pellegrini's insistence on playing both Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero up front. The tactic came in for stern criticism from Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness after the game.


"They came into this game having been outnumbered in midfield by Barcelona and they were outnumbered again," said Souness.


"Last week against Newcastle, they had a great result but against the bigger teams, Pellegrini persists with two strikers. It's OK saying 'we'll be a threat going forward' but if you haven't got the ball, you're not. Sort it out stage-by-stage. Get the ball and then be threatening. If you can't get the ball first, your strikers are going to be idle."


Pellegrini insisted his tactics were not the problem but Man City managed just one shot on target (Dzeko's equaliser), the fewest they have recorded in a Premier League game since April 2012 at Arsenal.


Liverpool front three shine



"Those three have been outstanding," beamed Brendan Rodgers, when asked to speak about the performances of forwards Raheem Sterling, Coutinho and Adam Lallana against Manchester City.


However, for the Reds trio, who have starred in the absence of Daniel Sturridge, the stats speak for themselves.


Sterling provided assists for both goals on Sunday and has now set up more goals in the Premier League this season (seven) than he has in the previous three seasons combined.


Coutinho - described as Liverpool's "little magician" by Lallana - has now scored impressive strikes from outside the box in back-to-back games and made more accurate passes (35) than any attacker in a Red shirt.


Lallana, who had two goals ruled out, had the best pass completion rate of any forward on the field (84.4 per cent).


"They really are good technical players but you see today how they press the ball, they're very clever in how they press, get up to people and that was key for us," added Rodgers.


Henderson adding end product



"He needed to add goals and assists to his game and that's what he's done this season," said Carragher when asked about Henderson, a player he knows better than most, having been a former team-mate of the Liverpool midfielder.


"He's renowned for energy, his athleticism and being a great pro but now, with 10 assists and four goals this season, he's bringing more quality to his game."


Henderson's goal against City was a powerful bending strike from outside the box and came against the same opposition he opened his Premier League account against for Sunderland in 2009.


However, the physical qualities associated with him remain, as well. Only Dejan Lovren (five) made more tackles than Henderson (four) in the clash at Anfield, while the England man ranked in the top three in terms of distance covered with 11.1km.


Toure brothers play against each other for first time



While Yaya Toure's second-half display and struggles to dominate the midfield for Manchester City came in for criticism from Gary Neville, the Ivorian will at least take one fond memory from Sunday's trip to Liverpool: it was the first time he had gone head-to-head with brother Kolo as a professional.


The two Ivory Coast stars helped their country to the Africa Cup of Nations title last month and were team-mates at Manchester City after Yaya linked up with Kolo from Barcelona in 2010.


However, when Kolo made a substitute appearance for Liverpool with seven minutes to play, the siblings were pitted against each other for the first time.

Struggle di awal musim, namun kini seperti yg kita tahu selepas 27 perlawanan,Liverpool telah melonjak ke tangga ke 5 liga, 2 mata dibelakang rival kita di tempat ke 4..Well done & keep it up REDS!!



Berikut adalah kedudukan liga setakat ini:



Chelsea 60pts (kurang 1 game)

Man City 55pts

Arsenal 51pts

Man Utd 50pts

LIVERPOOL 48pts



Ok utk game td,ada beberapa pemain yg sy nak ulas kali ni (boleh la ye) hehee..



1) Martin Skrtel



- Boleh sy katakan ini dia tonggak utama pertahanan kita musim ini..dgn tiadanya Sakho,nampak yg dia beraksi dgn baik dalam mengawal rakan pertahanan Lovren dan Emre Can tadi..a leader bak kata omputeh..dan utk game tadi,dia telah membuat 12 clearance, yg terbanyak berbanding pemain sepasukan yg lain..Well done Martin!!



2) Dejan Lovren



- Dengan ketiadaan Sakho akibat kecederaan, sy rasa Lovren beraksi dgn baik kali ni..walaupun ade sikit2 "error" yg dilakukan pada awal2 game, nampak lepastu permainan makin OK..dan sy dpt lihat yg dia mengawal Aguero dgn tip top..menang 5 daripada 6 tackle,not bad kan?Good job bro!



3) Coutinho



- Ha nampaknya makin hari makin berbisa..magician kita ni dah mula improve shooting beliau..yg mana kita tahu sblm ni byk kelaut,musim ni dia buktikan peningkatannya..mmg nadi utama pasukan dalam menyerang..gol tadi mmg superb..well done bro! Keep it up!



4) Adam Lallana



- Ini antara contoh "versatility player" yg kita ada..sayang 2 jaringan dibatalkan tadi kerana offside..sikit lagi...ok cuba lihat posisinya tadi..BR menerapkan formasi 3-4-2-1 yg sememangnya sgt menarik ketika ini..pada mulanya beliau beraksi di posisi Second Striker/Right wing forward,tapi bila Sturridge masuk,lallana beraksi pula di posisi Markovic sebelum itu, right wing back...kemudian apabila Toure masuk mgantikan Moreno, Lallana kemudian beraksi di sebelah kiri pula (Left WB) bg memberi ruang pada Emre Can beraksi di RWB..wah memang versatil player2 yg ada skrg ni kan..Nice guys!!



5) Joe Allen



- Ini antara nama yg dipetik2 musim ni..byk suara mengatakan Allen ni ank emas BR..hehe..tp takpe,still support..pada sy Allen is a All-round player..ok utk game tadi,pada sy beliau bermain dgn baik di bhgian midfield..kita amek mcm ni, Allen vs Silva..Silva ni boleh dikatakan attacking mid yg paling form (man city) musim ni..bak kata deme, the man city&039;s creative master..TAPI, Allen berjaya mark man to man si Silva ni..cuba tgk masa 2nd half,Allen berjaya mengekang gerakan si Silva ni..ini boleh dikatakan antara kejayaan kita di bhgian tengah dimana dpt mematikan gerakan si creative master ni..utk game tadi Allen berjaya membuat 3 tackles dan satu interception..good allen!



Orait tu dulu...pada sy semua bmain dgn baik..cuma mungkin boleh dimantapkan lg..Markovic td mcm kureng sikit..tp takpe teruskan kecemerlangan..apa2 pn gol dari Hendo dan Coutinho tersangat2 la SUPERB!! Tahniah guys..mimpi indah malam ni.. :)



*Sekadar luahan dari sy..sy tak punya apa2 kelayakan,hanya sekadar berkongsi pendapat..tq guys!



Salam 2-1 YNWA!!

Liverpool’s fantastic 2-1 victory over Manchester City on Sunday was full of superb performances, but it was a majestic, and refreshed, Philippe Coutinho who ran the show.

It was a phenomenal win for Brendan Rodgers‘ side, particularly given their exploits in the Europa League against Besiktas on Thursday evening, and subsequent flight issues.


The team performance was absolutely tremendous from start to finish, against the current champions, and a top-four finish is looking more and more likely by the game for the Reds. Is there a better team in the Premier League right now?


The brilliance of Coutinho


While individuals like Joe Allen, Jordan Henderson and Adam Lallana produced arguably their best performances of the season, Coutinho was on another level on the day.


It’s easy to be a little biased and knee-jerk when it comes to lauding your own players, but in the Brazilian, Liverpool have a truly outstanding talent in their ranks.


The 22-year-old produced a virtuoso display against Manuel Pellegrini’s side, full of sublime creativity and admirable hard work, and his fabulous winning goal means it is the second season running that he has slayed the current Premier League champions.


There were times when City’s star-studded side found the youngster almost unplayable. Time and time again he found himself in dangerous areas between the midfield and defence.


He is revelling in his left inside-forward role in Rodgers’ 3-4-2-1 formation, linking up brilliantly with the likes of Raheem Sterling and Lallana in attack, and also the marauding Alberto Moreno.


Pellegrini’s decision to play two up front certainly helped the former Inter Milan starlet, as Yaya Toure and Fernandinho found themselves overrun and lacking hunger throughout.


Coutinho simply kept finding pockets of space, and if you do that against someone of his class, it’s only a matter of time before you are punished.

There is an unpredictability about the Brazil international’s game that makes him such a joy to watch. He is always willing to run with the ball, while his passing is outrageous at times. One outside-of-the-foot pass to Sterling in the first-half was vintage Coutinho.


In a lot of ways, he is a player who goes to show that statistics are not always particularly meaningful, as his mesmerising performance on Sunday lunchtime goes to show.


His passing accuracy may only have been a modest 72 per cent, and he may have won less than half of his duels, but at the end of the day, this was one of the finest individual performances by a Liverpool player this season.


Coutinho plays with typical South American flair and freedom, and his influence at Anfield appears to be growing by the game. Quite how he didn’t make Brazil’s World Cup squad last summer becomes increasingly baffling.

Having looked rather jaded in recent weeks, as Jack Lusby alluded to in mid-February, the Brazilian was rested for Thursday’s Europa League loss to Besiktas.


It proved to be a shrewd decision by Rodgers, as Liverpool found themselves with a refreshed and influential Coutinho for the visit of City.


He had started 19 consecutive games for the Reds prior to their trip to Turkey, and although his performances were far from shabby towards the end of that run, any player is going to start showing signs of fatigue after so much football.


There was so much more zip to his passing and more energy in his legs, and Pellegrini’s men couldn’t live with him at any point.


Addition of goals

The one thing that has been labelled at Coutinho has been both his erratic shooting and lack of goals for such a technically-gifted footballer.


13 in 88 Reds appearances, since joining in January 2013, is fairly mediocre in truth, but there are definite signs that he is adding goals to his game.


Although he has only found the back of the net five times so far this season, four of those have come since the end of December. They have all been an exhibition of finishing too, which bodes well.


His lethal effort against Arsenal just before the turn of the year set the ball rolling, and wonderful strikes against Bolton, Southampton and City have since followed.


His shooting accuracy in his last 10 Premier League games has been 62 per cent, compared with a meagre 47 per cent in his 14 league appearances in 2014/15 prior to that. That is very telling.


The beauty with Coutinho is that he is still a very young player learning his trade. His shooting and ruthlessness in front of goal may still be far from perfect, but there are clear signs of improvement.


The future

(Pic by David Rawcliffe/Propaganda)


Much has been made of Liverpool trying to tie Sterling down to a new deal on Merseyside, but it is Coutinho who is comfortably the Reds’ most prized asset.


At just 22, the attacking midfield maestro is only going to get better, and it is simply a matter of time before Europe’s heavyweight clubs come hunting for his signature.


Coutinho is fast becoming one of the outstanding players in the Premier League, which given his tender years, is quite something.


He would get into any side in the country- anybody who feels Oscar, Mesut Ozil and Angel Di Maria are superior at the moment have lost their marbles- and it is imperative he remains a Liverpool player for as long as possible.


City came into Sunday’s game as understandable favourites, with all their proven, world-class superstars back in the team, but it was the magical Coutinho who ran the show and inspired his side to three points, in front of a joyous Anfield.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini will not give up on retaining the Barclays Premier League title, despite defeat at Liverpool handing further advantage to Chelsea.

The 2-1 loss at Anfield, where two brilliant individual goals from Jordan Henderson and Philippe Coutinho either side of Edin Dzeko’s equaliser won the game, leaves City five points off the top, having played a match more than the Blues.


Pellegrini admits City have to improve performances if they are to get their title defence back on track.


“I think we never give up about the title. We must try to improve our play first and after that try to win our next game,” he said.


“You never know in football what will happen. It is more difficult when you have less games and you continue with the same points, but I don’t think the team can think about that.


“The team must think about how we can win the next game. We are worried about our team, not the other teams that are behind us.


“We will see in the reaction in the next game. The only way to see is the way we play again on Wednesday (at home to Leicester).


“I hope that the team will recover and we can win on Wednesday. Every point we drop is more difficult.”


One of those teams behind them are Liverpool, who are now just seven points adrift of City and, while second place may be beyond them, the victory moved them up to fifth and just two points off the Champions League places.

“It is a big win. We still have a lot of games to go yet, but it is a significant win for us because it keeps us on the chase,” said Reds boss Brendan Rodgers. “It was brilliant result and an equally brilliant performance.


“We thoroughly deserved the victory. The players were relentless in their work and intensity and we had great quality in our football.”


Liverpool appeared to be at a considerable disadvantage after only arriving back in England 55 hours before kick-off following their Europa League exit to Besiktas.


However, that was never an issue as City were hassled out of the match by a high-tempo pressing game.


“I have nothing but admiration. Their focus was good. As the game went on we created more chances and restricted Manchester City to one shot on target – to do that the whole team has to be working collectively well,” added Rodgers.


“To prepare yourself for a game against the champions is no mean feat.


“To play and perform like they did today you have to take your hat off to them because the performance was at a real top level.”


Liverpool’s goals were also out of the top drawer, particularly Coutinho’s, who scored with a spectacular effort for the second time in a week.


“To beat Joe Hart, a top-class goalkeeper, at that angle and power was a phenomenal strike – as was Jordan’s,” said Rodgers. “He (Coutinho) is a player that has always assisted and made the final pass in his career.

“When you are that type of player, a very selfless player and a very humble young guy, you would rather create for others.


“We are encouraging him (to shoot) and he has done more work on the training field.


“He has a wonderful body movement around the box, he doesn’t need many touches to shift it and shoot.


“His technique is at a high level so he is going to score more goals.


“He is now arriving into the areas and then he is able to pull the trigger and get his shots off and is now starting to get success and that encourages him to shoot more.


“We brought him in for £8.5 million and it is frightening to know what he could be worth in the market, but there are still improvements to make.”

Brendan Rodgers on “significant” and “deserved” victory over Man City
