Not really sure about the hatred towards Coutinho. Yes he has wanted a move to Barcelona for over a year, but to be honest, not many players turn down the chance once the big Spanish clubs come knocking. The whispering in ears from friends on international duty is not a new thing, in fact our own Stevie G admitted it recently.
The only real problem I think we have is the face that he has missed the last few games. I don't know the full story on that, so will reserve judgment until I do. It maybe that he started with a injury, then klopp decided that his head wasn't straight to play for the first team. It could be that with the amount of cash on the table it wasn't worth risking injuring him just in case we decided to case in. What I am trying to say is that unless he refused to play or train then absence might not be his decision.
I have never seen him sulk or not give 100% on the pitch. All the info I have heard about him and his attitude have been positive.
We all want us to keep our best players, but how do we do that if we don't make them stay? Do we only sign potential world class players who only ever want to play for Liverpool? Can't see us finding many of those!

No hatred from me, if he wants to go, fine, get the best price we can and bring in Lemar. He is a transient employee. Nothing more nothing less, the important thing is to rationally look at his ability and replace that like for like, so we need someone who has good vision, can score goals out of nothing and has good delivery at set pieces, which is Lemar. Him staying will be toxic for the club.

Players come and go (and he may yet stay - against his will) . My only disappointment is him turning out for Brazil in this moment - but you're right, we don't know the full facts.

If he stays then all should be smoothed over.
But come on, you can't say you've never seen him sulk or not give 100% on the pitch. You're right, you haven't been able to see it, becos he just didn't show up for the 1st 5 games of the season.

Losing Phil Won't affect us as much as losing Suarez did, we've yet to get back to 2nd where Luis got us.
I want him gone for faking an injury. But At the same time if we kept him for 12 months 🤔 The team would look great.
So we can't lose really, aslong as we replace him if he's sold. Have to replace him. Vital.

Hatred is too strong of a word to be used in football. There are more serious things going on in the world that hatred can be used to describe it.
