      Cov fans not pleased at all

      what a bloody joke!! no signings in, then sell our rising star.

      Apparently this is with a view to a £1M move in the summer.

      My mate at uni went to school with him, we were sat in Nando's when I revealed the news, he almost spat his chicken out. We're trying to get hold of a statement from the lad for our next episode of our podcast we're recording tomorrow.

      I know the management staff rate him at Coventry but has anyone seen him actually play?

      I Want Shooting Tips From Fowler
      As the reserves prepare for this afternoon's clash with Bolton we continue our series of second-string interviews with Conor Thomas.

      The midfielder is currently on loan from Coventry City after impressing Liverpool scouts during a series of promising displays for their first-team as well as England U17s.

      He made his full debut for the Sky Blues in an FA Cup clash with Birmingham City and is one of the most highly rated youngsters in the country.

      Here he tells us about his head-to-head with former Arsenal star Alexander Hleb and why he hopes to pick up some finishing tips from Robbie Fowler.

      Today's game is live on LFC TV and LFCTV Online from 1.30pm BST. Click here to sign up for LFCTV Online>>

      Best individual moment in a match?

      It has to be playing first-team football for Coventry. I got to play against Birmingham City in the FA Cup so that has to be the best experience I've had so far. I came up against Alexander Hleb and he's played for Barcelona and Arsenal - I was pinching myself a bit then.

      Stadium you'd love to play in?

      I love the look of the new Wembley but Real Madrid's Bernabeu would be a dream to play in too.

      Which other team's results do you look out for?

      I always look out for Coventry because that's where I've come from. If we are talking about teams outside of England then I like to keep an eye on Barcelona.

      First football shirt owned?

      I think it was an England home shirt that came out ahead of a World Cup. I had the No.8 on the back.

      Who do you model your game on?

      There are a few midfielders that I admire. Obviously Steven Gerrard is up there. He's a fantastic player. I also like Paul Scholes and Jack Wilshere. I think Jack's done really well this season. He has a real style to the way he plays the game.

      What are your main strengths?

      Passing and keeping the ball. I'm also good at getting up and down the pitch.

      Areas you can improve?

      I could score some more goals. I think midfielders need to do that. Robbie Fowler has been training with us recently and he certainly knows how to finish. He's still got it - hopefully I can pick up a few things from him.

      Last album downloaded?

      Fame by Chris Brown, it's quite decent.

      Last film watched?

      The Town. It was very good. It's about bank robbers. I watched it on the way to our game at Aston Villa and I'd definitely recommend it.

      Worst dresser?

      I have to think about this. To be fair there aren't too many bad ones. Deale Chamberlain came in the other day with some awful shoes on. They were like clown shoes. The lads gave him plenty of stick for that so I'll nominate him.

      Worst taste in music?

      I'm not sure. Everybody has their own taste. Normally we have Saric's music on. There's quite a bit of hip hop in there. Some people love it, some people hate it. I think it's okay. I'm quite easy going when it comes to music.

      Best mate in the squad?

      I get on with most of the lads. I'm quite close to Suso so I'll say him.

      Funniest teammate?

      I'll have to say Suso again. Some of his comments are brilliant. Obviously he's still learning English so every now and then he comes out with a classic line where he has got a word confused. It's the way he says it too. He's just a very funny lad.

      Teammate who spends longest in the mirror?

      I'll probably say Mendy. He's got a good physique and likes to admire himself!

      Most skilful teammate?

      That's probably between Suso and Alex Cooper. Coops loves doing stepovers. We were doing some two v two drills the other day and he was producing plenty of them. He has good feet.

      Best ever player in your position?

      That's a tough one. It's between Xavi and Iniesta for me.

      Best thing about playing for LFC?

      The sheer size of the club. Coming in here every day and training here is great. The facilities are brilliant. It's very different to what I was used to at Coventry. There I was with the first team so the emphasis was naturally on getting three points. Here it's more about development. Training is all about possession. The facilities are great and I'm enjoying it. I'm hoping to make the move permanent. We'll get to the summer and see what happens then.

      Hasn't really impressed in all honesty. Looks like he does have talent though.
