Liverpool coach Gary O'Neill on Sky Sports...
“It’ll be disappointing for them and for the boy himself. He’s 19-years-old and he wants to be playing football”
“I’m surprised that the club are letting it effect team selection.
“These contract negotiations, they can get complicated and it can take a while, it can be drawn out and you don’t always agree on stuff, but normally you manage to stay in the team and you get this stuff sorted off the pitch.
“I’m very surprised it’s affected Grant McCann’s team selection.”
Out of interest, why is he being asked for his opinion on it as a Liverpool coach?
