Yes the defending from Thailand was pathetic, but Philipe Coutinho scored the pick of the bunch today as Liverpool cruised to another pre-season victory.

All eyes were on the Liverpool bench as Luis Suarez was on the sidelines again amid intense speculation he is on his way out of the club, though he did arrive onto the pitch with about 20 minutes remaining and by that stage they were three goals to the good, with Coutinho and second half strikes from Aspas and Gerrard sealing a comfortable win.

Coutinho put in another strong performance, creating Aspas’ goal while taking his own opportunity with aplomb in the first half, with the Brazilian looking good to continue his fine form since arriving from inter Milan last season.

We won’t disrespect any schoolboys out there by suggesting the defending from Thailand was something you would expect from young scholars, but it is generous in the extreme, though the Brazilian still coolly slotted beyond the goalkeeper.
