I Almost Substituted Coutinho Against Stoke City - Brendan Rodgers
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers was relieved not to have taken off Philippe Coutinho shortly before the playmaker's late strike sealed a 1-0 win over Stoke City.
The Brazilian beat Jack Butland from distance to settle what had been a drab affair at the Britannia Stadium in the sides' Premier League opener on Sunday.
Stoke 0-1 Liverpool: Coutinho Scores Late Winner
Since going down 6-1 at the hands of Stoke some 77 days ago on the final game of last term, Rodgers has brought in a host of new faces, but it was the Brazilian who proved his worth four minutes from time with a moment of magic.
Christian Benteke, James Milner, Nathaniel Clyne and Joe Gomez all made their competitive Liverpool debuts and, for much of the contest, the visitors lacked cohesion in the final third.

BRENDAN RODGERS: Coutinho Better Than Ozil & Mata
Ahead of Liverpool’s mouth watering FA Cup clash with Arsenal on Sunday, Brendan Rodgers has given some of the Sunday papers some juicy quotes. The top of the Sunday People – see picture above – abbreviates the quotes from the Liverpool boss, who says he wouldn’t swap Philippe Coutinho for either Mesut Ozil or Juan Mata.
To put that in perspective, Mesut Ozil is Arsenal’s record signing and Juan Mata holds the same status with Manchester United. Whilst Coutinho may be ridiculously gifted, he isn’t one of Liverpool best players (e.g. Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge or Steven Gerrard) and was bought for a bargain fee from Inter Milan.
