Future can be great for Liverpool says star man Coutinho

Liverpool’s red revolution has been a little slower than some of the more excitable members of The Kop anticipated when Jurgen Klopp first arrived at Anfield, prompting a sudden frisson of anticipation from Merseyside to Malaysia.

But as the team prepare to measure their progress against league leaders Leicester City today, midfielder Philippe Coutinho still sees reasons for optimism.

Just the fact that Leicester, bottom of the table at this time last year, are leading the pack — against all odds and all predictions — should be enough to give Liverpool fans confidence anything is possible.
