Great and astute piece, Joel. You can tell the LFC story by how well they reacted to big-name departures. Keegan going – world ends. Then we get Dalglish. Souness off – they'll never recover. Enter McMahon, Molby etc. But when Alonso and Suarez left much weaker teams it WAS a disaster. So spot on re Coutinho, who was indeed head and shoulders above the rest when he left. That we can back so much stronger is proof that Klopp really is up there with Shanks and Paisley.
