Philippe Coutinho

[James P]

He's fantastic - think he'll be a superstar for us.

[spider-neil]

He can't play for Spain

[Pablo]

Phil!

His through balls are lethal. Two goals and three assists in 6 matches so far (he's only ever completed the 90 mins once too). That's without being at full fitness.

With a full pre-season under his belt he's going to be dynamite next season.

I think he has it in him to become a regular goalscorer for us too. I predict he'll get more than 10 goals and 10 assists next season and be in the running for PFA Player of The Year

[Sarb]

Rodgers and his so-called scouting department get a lot of stick for his last summer purchases and potential targets this summer. I think they deserve some pretty big credit for the signing of Coutinho though. He looks a player of huge potential. Loved the through-ball for Henderson. What vision and what a perfectly weighted pass

Did you not get the memo Sarb?

Rodgers only deserves criticism for the signings that haven't worked and the credit for the good ones must go to someone else, usually Mourinho.

You aren't too far from the truth unfortunately

That's nothing. Sahin had 3 goals and 3 assists and only took him 3 games.

Sell.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Again, not getting too carried away YET. He's been a breath of fresh air and his passing seems unbelievable! BUT he started off very well for Inter too before fading away.

Very exciting player though.

[BigChief]

Phillipe plays 11 a side like he's playing 5 a side. Its that easy for him. If he hopefully doesn't fade, like mentioned above, he'll be our next £40m+ player.

[Aj34]

One of the most exciting signings I've seen in a red top for ages. Not including Suarez in that as most of us knew who he was. Courtinho was unknown to me tbh

[Aj34]

And that pass to Henderson was assist of the season for me

I've only ever seen Alonso put those passes on a plate. Maybe Gerrard too.

I was just thinking if Coutinho had under/over hit that pass by 3 yards either way then there was an 80% chance Henderson was going to miss the target or hit the keeper.

Not having a go at Henderson but the pass was THAT perfect.

Totally agree

[dom9]

That Villa pass for their chance in the first half was just as good I thought. Both were excellent.
