Philippe Coutinho

[Rich]

Great news

I don't think he's "world class" just yet but he's well capable of being one of the world's best players, given his talent and attitude.

Best player in the league.

Doesnt quite yet have the consistency but he has all the attributes for sure.

i was watching some old you tube clips of him. And sure everyone has seen the futsal tounament when Coutinho was 16, But i found this when Coutinho was 8

Still only 24 years old. I think he recognises that we picked him up when it looked like Inter were ready to cast him aside as a failed wonder kid. (He probably doesnt really)

But we took a punt and basically built a team around him and its paying off now for everyone.

It's easy to forget he's still only 24 and has the ability to improve as a player further. Certainly the one player we have currently we should be looking to build things around

That's a first-class lean. Effortless, great form.

You can tell he does be practicing it everyday.

That's why he's paid the big bucks. Amazing leaning teckers.

Looks like he's used those big bucks at Bobby's dentist.

Very happy with the new contract

Signing Firmino to keep Coutinho content shouldn't be underestimated either. Well done Ayre and FSG.

What was he doing on Saturday? Kneeling behind the wall....

[labourRed]

It's pretty ingenious I thought. Don't think it'll be the last time we see it

Prevent the powershots on the ground going under the wall. In theory it takes one option away from the shooter and allows the wall to jump making it harder.

[RedReet]

He should lie across the ground facing the goal so there is no way the ball wil get past on the ground.
