Philippe Coutinho

[Marina]

I've just checked and he's a bit less than a month younger than I am! WTF I'm not used to such good footballers being younger than me! He's brilliant.

[Mostar]

His through balls are so so good

Absolutely incredible.

That said I wish he uses his left foot little bit more.

[BigChief]

Now THAT is what Luis Garcia should have turned out as. Amazing footballer.

[Fosterbloke]

FINALLY we have a player who can carry the ball forward into the attacking third AND do something with it!

We've been too prosaic when moving forward with no forward motion. Combined with great forward movement from Suarez, Borini, Sturridge and Downing and we have defenders on their heels!

It's only very tricky when big teams park the bus but for those occasions I do think we need a tougher attacker. Ngoo?

[kingfunk]

What a talent! My new favourite player, love him

[Patricks_Berger]

I'd like to see him deployed as a "false 9" with Sturridge & Suarez either side.

[Bender]

What a talent! My new favourite player, love him

[JohnDoe]

I don't know if it's been said before in this thread, but this guy is the spitting image of Pablo Aimar, who was one of my favorite players back in the day.

He's so much like him in his style of play.

[Shaggy]

Massively reminiscent of Aimar, yeah. Been mentioned a few times I think.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

He's everything I was dreaming Suso might be

[red g]

Suso is a year and a half younger. We need to send him on a season long loan next season as being benched is doing him no favours.

Worked for Coutinho

[SB]

He's everything I was dreaming Suso might be

Suso has time on his side & has shown glimpses but this is all about Coutinho & he is the real deal.

[Shaggy]

Thank **** we didn't spend that £8m on Tom Ince instead of Phil.

Would everyone leave him as the advanced one of the midfield three, or is there anyone who'd move him back to the left?

[RichC]

Advanced position for me, will be interesting to see what we do with our attacking options when Luis is back

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Yeah he has to stay in the role he played yesterday for me. Ran the show!
