Kampusbet - Philippe Coutinho named Liverpool's Player of the Year in clean sweep at the club's awards night 

Judi Online - Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho was named the club's Player of the Year, as he completed a clean sweep at the Reds' awards night.

The Brazilian maestro also landed the Players' Player of the Year, Performance of the Year and Goal of the Year prizes, as he took home every prize for which he was eligible.

Manager Brendan Rodgers admitted it had been a difficult year for his side, who will finish outside of the Champions League places, while wantaway star Raheem Sterling was booed by members of the audience when he landed the club's Young Player of the Year award.

But it was a night where Coutinho's rich promise was celebrated, and suggested that the biggest starlet currently at Anfield is not the England international looking to move on.

Certainly, that was outgoing Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard's take on things, as he declared Coutinho "the next big thing"

"I'm a bit bored making all these speeches, so I want to pay tribute to Philippe," said Gerrard, who picked up an Outstanding Achievement award.

"This is his night.

"He cleaned up all the awards and deservedly so. He's the next big thing for me. I hope he stays for a long time and helps us win some more trophies."

Coutinho, shortlisted for the PFA Player of the Year award, was recognised for a superb season as he claimed a quartet of awards at the ECHO Arena ceremony.

Bandar Bola - The 22-year-old won both the club's Player of the Year and Players' Player prize, while his 30-yard thumper against Southampton in January was named Goal of the Year.

The Brazil international also took the Performance of the Year, for his dazzling display in the 2-1 win over Manchester City on March 1.

Liverpool vice-captain Jordan Henderson declared: "I voted for Philippe [for the Player of the Year award]. He's been fantastic all season and produced magical moments."

Raheem Sterling, the England international, was booed by fans at the ceremony, when he picked up the Young Player of the Year award.

Sterling is set for crunch talks with the club this week, having told Rodgers of his desire to leave the club, for which he has been heavily criticised by a number of club legends, including John Barnes, Phil Thompson and Jamie Carragher.

He made a short acceptance speech, and there were shouts of 'Stay Raheem' but as he finished speaking and left the stage there were audible boos from some of the 3,000 fans in attendance.

There were further jeers when his name was mentioned in a video montage moments later.

Reds boss Brendan Rodgers, who has seen his side struggle for consistency just 12 months after going within touching distance of a 19th English title, believes that his side will be better for the difficulties they have faced this season.

"Expectancy from last season was going to be high. Things that have happened, the distractions, you can't plan for them," he said. "It has been a difficult, trying season but the players will all be better for it next year.

"The players need a rest [but] the club will continue to work hard to improve the squad and next year provides another great opportunity for us like last season.
