      Turns out we've replaced Coutinho for £12m. Bargain.

      Should be a starter from now on.

      Was feeding those balls beautifully all night.

      Wanted him to score and celebrate with the eagle maybe in Belgrade.

      No I have personal reasons as does Xherdan. Both our countries have been raped by Serbs for centuries on end.

      Great having him in the squad. Really the only creative midfielder we have.

      I know. Let's drag the club into the sectarian joys of Balkan F***ing nationalism.

      I'd be very surprised if Xherdan pulls any such stunt in Belgrade. Don't think Jürgen would be happy, and I suspect he will have a word with the wee man before the match.

      Xherdan may have personal reasons for hating Serbs. That's up to him. It's not something for him to drag the club into, and I'm sure he won't.

      Keep it about football guys, i know nothing about what happened and perhaps some things not good happened that left people upset, but football isn't about wars or politics, it's a sport.. the best sport and should remain untainted by the dark side of real life.

      Welcome to European history.Everyone can have some kinda beef with some one else our manager is German ffs but the club is multi ethnic,multi religion. i hope Shaqiri isn't as stupid and bitter as you and he knows better than bringing some sh*te down on the club.You've banged your Croatian nationalist sh*te in another thread,no?that F***ing metal band? We are a non discriminatory club,think about it.

      I thought he did well.

      Yes, the opposition were a bit sh*t, but even apart from his creativity, his tracking back and workrate were excellent.

      If Klopp can get him playing the same as Ox does, I'll be very impressed.
      He has the skills, but it seems like his attitude has been questioned a lot.

      He's already done that on the worlds biggest football stage whilst playing under a different flag so yea he must be pretty stupid as you say. There's every chance it could happen and if he does I wouldn't flinch is all I'm saying. All a bit rich being called out for self preservation especially in this context from a Yank.

      There is something wrong this this sentiment, all people from different cultures have and do not have elements of "self preservation", it is probably a big subject that would take too long to get into. It is bordering on racist to insinuate that this is unique to one nation.

      If Shaqiri did that, this would be the response.
      1) Liverpool would issue a public statement condemning it, affirming their position as neutral to politics.
      2) FA may not fine Liverpool, it could happen.. but FA would suspend Shaqiri, I am not sure the length of time but Pep had an issue with a yellow ribbon so times that by 100.
      3) Shaqiri could get the Sakho treatment.

      You know how important Kenny is to Liverpool, look what happened after the t-shirt stunt.
      I personally believe the following.

      1) Shaqiri is far too intelligent to consider pulling any political stunt in a Liverpool shirt.
      2) Klopp is far too intelligent not to know Shaqiri did this in another shirt and has warned Shaqiri

      They may have escaped a FIFA ban when doing that in the WC, but if that happened in a league game it would be FA who have jurisdiction to issue fines and bans.

      Sensible decision to leave him out IMO.

      Assume it's safe for croats to go there now ?

      Right call from the Boss, last thing we need is some loon running onto the pitch & kicking off with Shaq..

      Let’s get the result and talk about that..

      Good opportunity for Lallana, but from this point on we need to be playing either Lallana or Shaq becuase the forwards need all the help they can get at the moment, no more of this 3 defensive midfielders crap please Jürgen!

      exactly what i was thinking. It doesn't feel right to grant them this little victory. As they will pump it. And also doubt Shaq is OK with such a decision (they will label him as a coward for sure).
