    Hopefully and it will need to handle the bandwidth.

    The BT showcase channel on Freeview is only SD and the picture quality is utter ****e. The ****ers won't make that channel available on Sky either so just SD on the telly unless you subscribe or go to the pub.

    Next time UEFA auction the rights they need to get a proper FTA channel back in for 1 game a week at least.

    Bit of bad news - Henderson could be fit for the final.

    Klopp said he'd have to play v WBA to be able to start in the final so we'll see.

    Don't want him starting...at best 60 minutes against WBA and suddenly he'll be at European Cup final level?

    He can sit on the bench and watch...same effect as being on pitch.

    I agree, he's not been good at all this season don't want him on the pitch at all.

    Blood Red - Liverpool FC's outstanding Coutinho can finally secure the kind of prize he craves

    Liverpool FC will look to Brazilian to deliver on the big stage

    Philippe Coutinho swept the board at this week’s Liverpool FC awards night.
    It was the second successive year that the classy Brazilian attacker had walked away from the city’s waterfront clutching a quartet of prizes.
    Both the supporters and his team-mates left the little magician in no doubt about the regard in which he’s held.
    As well as Player of the Year and Players’ Player of the Year, there was Performance of the Season for his leading role in the 4-1 demolition of Manchester City in November and Goal of the Season for the stunning individual effort which effectively ended the Europa League last 16 tie with Manchester United at Old Trafford in March.
    The acclaim was richly deserved. Coutinho has been Liverpool’s outstanding performer during a campaign when he has contributed 12 goals and a further six assists.
    Coutinho is loved on Merseyside. He has kicked on again under the guidance of Jurgen Klopp and is the most valuable asset in the playing squad.
    Securing his services from Inter Milan for just £8.5million in 2013 represents one of the best pieces of transfer business Liverpool have done in the Premier League era.
    He’s a £40million footballer and it’s easy to forget at times that he’s still just 23 years old. He’s only going to get better.

    Yet for all the plaudits that have come Coutinho’s way following 144 appearances for the Reds spanning three and a half years, there’s been something missing. For all the individual awards, the kind of trophies he craves have eluded him.
    In 2013/14 Coutinho lit up the Reds’ Premier League title challenge but with the finish line in sight they stumbled. Last term he was part of the team beaten in the semi-finals of both domestic cups.
    This season has already brought one agonising near miss. His delight at grabbing a late equaliser in the Capital One Cup final against Manchester City at Wembley in February was shortlived as he missed from the spot in the shootout that followed. Close but no cigar.
    Coutinho, who signed a new five-year contract 16 months ago, has got what it takes to join Anfield’s pantheon of legends. He’s supremely gifted but humble. His box of tricks is complemented by a steely work ethic.
    However, for Coutinho to be mentioned one day in the same breath as the likes of Dalglish, Rush, Thompson, Gerrard, Carragher and Barnes, he needs to be the driving force behind the kind of historic triumphs which yield silverware.

    Wednesday night’s Europa League final against Sevilla in Basel gives him another shot at achieving that. A player of his calibre should be in the Champions League next season and he has the ability to make that a reality.
    This season got underway back in August with Coutinho exorcising Liverpool’s demons at the Britannia Stadium with that late piledriver to beat Stoke City.
    So much has happened since then with the collapse of Brendan Rodgers’ reign and the start of a new era under Klopp.
    Throughout the past nine months Coutinho has provided a beacon of light for Liverpool. En route to Basel he killed off United and swept home the goal which kick-started that miraculous fightback against Dortund.
    Now the big stage awaits. Deliver and he will finally have a prize to truly cherish.

    Milner will play. Allen will be sub. No point saying he otherwise.

    Hendo should be consigned to the bench.
    He hasn't been very good since he came back from the earlier injury and for him to walk straight into the team would be a mistake.
    The team that played Sevilla is the optimum line-up atm, despite it's dismal showing against the Chavs which I put down to lack of sufficient interest (still a problem which needs addressing).
    I'd still say Moreno is the weak link there. I don't hate the guy, but he's prone to a rush of blood which makes him a liability.
    He has great energy and commitment, but needs to temper it with some common sense.

    Agreed
    it's looking likely that Hendo's career is at a vital point regarding his ability to overcome the injury
