One of the handful of players Rodgers clearly didn't want, and didn't give much of a chance. I'm sure if he, or Luis Alberto, were signed now Klopp would have given them a good run. Might not have worked out, I guess. Couldn't have been much worse than Benteke though.

Yeah, I'd say that's probably fair - and not necessary even as a dig at Rodgers either; pretty sure Aspas was injured a bit during the autumn of that season, and I think it's understandable why Rodgers would have been loathe to change a winning formula during the spring. From what I recall, Suarez & Sturridge were pretty much ever-present during the second half of the season and the emerging talents of Sterling & Coutinho tended to swap in and out a bit.

Someone hacked his Twitter once to put something about his corner and he probably has seen so much shit about it. I would want Real Madrid to win if I was him too.

The problem I had with it wasn't that he wasn't involved that season as Suarez and Sturridge were locks but everyone knew Suarez was leaving so why get rid of Aspas when an opportunity was going to be there for him to fight for a spot, instead we got rid and signed Balotelli  :o :no

This is a harsh post, so I apologize in advance. But Naby Keita's shot in the final has finally replaced Aspas' corner kick as the most WTF-LOL moment for me. :)
I am still laughing at both! Its not always about lifting the cups, it is also about the funny moments!!

Don't forget Lovren's long range attempt in the FA Cup semifinal against Villa, 2015.

I think Aspas was quite homesick. Which is a shame, because he proved he was a hell of a player at Celta.
