I AM composing this latest staggering insight into Liverpool Football Club from my spec in Hustlers Cocktail Bar in Hisaranu. Therefore it may well be flawed but then it is names followed by numbers followed by sentences. My arbitrary figures will almost all be wrong....

QUIETLY, in the background, it is building. While the focus is on the potential exit of Brendan Rodgers, work has begun on a different Liverpool outgoing. With most stood at the front door waiting for a new manager to come in, the stories of Philippe Coutinho being...
