Philippe Coutinho

[McDermotX]

Outshone by three or four of our other attacking players but still an immense contribution from a young kid - amazing really that he's not even nominated for YPoTY.

I think most people have no idea he's 21.

Seeing him launch into tackles when trying to get the ball back seems to be a huge lift for everyone, and he's the sort who can set the tone for the midfield, not just in his passing, but also the pace at which we operate.
Has faded in games no doubt, but he does seem on the verge of becoming an immense talent.

I think next season will be his season, can only see him grow in importance.

[baitman]

it has been so good to see him improve the defensive side to his game and his tackling has improved tremendously.

[TheElephantMan]

It's probably been said before, but that goal against City was the most important goal of the season.

[wiw]

If he can add some more goals to his game the sky really is the limit for him. In saying that it's great to have unselfish support players like Coutinho and Henderson, they compliment Suarez and Sturridge incredibly well. Can't wait to see him tear up the CL next season, he's going to love playing against more continental sides

Unlucky for Coutinho but he's definitely living in Sterling's shadow at the moment.

[Mostar]

it has been so good to see him improve the defensive side to his game and his tackling has improved tremendously.

Part of his game that doesn't get nearly as much recognition as it should.

Tracking back, pressing, tackling, defending, intercepting etc is like night and day this season vs last.

Great read. Come on Philipe

Ended up clicking a link on some footy article to another article called "10 players who would be better in other teams". The first one that came us was Coutinho and apparently he would be better at Arsenal

Isn't everybody better at Arsenal?

Sure, it's the London effect
