Philippe Coutinho

[moof]

Coutinho is a very early developer, I wouldn't be too worried that Suso doesn't look the finished article at 19

[the walsh]

counthio is like our mata or david silva love watching him play and a steal at 8 million

[Baltar]

He's going to be our best player in a few years. An absolute gem of a player.

[jsims]

Its so obvious Suso needs a season long loan at a PL team, preferably one that likes to play football, Saints or Wigan (if they stay up) would be ideal.

 

Yea i think you're right, then atleast we will have an answer if he will be a success here or not.

[mht1892]

I would send Suso or Tex to Southampton next year if they were wanted, play some good football and would be beneficial.

[Mathewbet1]

I've never seen a player who can spot and play killer through balls with such regularity. And that's only in the handful l of games he has played for us.

[MOGLET]

Coutinho has the potential to go on and be one of the best players in the league. A joy to watch.

 

I think you are selling him short a bit there, given his age, and the fact he has only just come to this league, he could go on to being one of the best in Europe let alone further afield.

 

Amazing vision as well as his close skills, deffo a midfield controller of the future, SG but shorter.

Shorter, but with a better disposition towards errant DJ's.

 

I would suggest that Mata is probably nearer to his style, rather than Stevie.

 

Very young & will be up & down ( he was shocking last week ) but I think he will be a potentially world class asset in years to come.

[fowler9]

yeah he is definately a Mata/Silva sort rather than a Stevie, truth be told we won't see another Stevie for a long time but hopefully the likes of Henderson can fufil their potential and can build a good platform to supply the likes of Coutinho, Suarez and Sturridge with them hopefully all still being here

I agree, but I was thinking within LFC, and couldnt pick anyone who has or does run the centre and dictates apart from SG.

 

Either way, he is one to watch and keep a hold of.

[JustTosh]

What impresses me most with Coutinho is his vision. Just look at the 2nd goal against Newcastle. 99 of 100 playres would try to play Henderson through, but he read the movement of the defenders superbly and opened up the defenece with that pass to Sturridge.

 

Technically gifted and with a vison like that at 20 years of age. This could be one of the worlds top 10 players.

 

He needs to perform more consitently though.

[Ted]

Looked the other way when he played that pass too. What a player.

[jboy14]

Shade's of Michael Laudrup with that pass and his final ball throughout the game. Gentleman, I think we have a player.

[Jairzinho]

Iniesta.

 

What?

That was genius

[Edward.]

Bit like Beardsley?

[KevieG]

The Beardsley comparison is good. Hadn't thought of that.

I love the way he can dink a pass that doesn't look on. The kid looks to have huge talent.

 

If we can keep Luis, then along with Sturride we will have a seriously potent frontline.

 

Its been a while.

[Ne Moe Imya]

Beardsley is a good comparison; Aimar might be an even better one. I can see the Iniesta/Mata comparisons as well.

 

It's early, and I don't want to get carried away, but he really looks the part, doesn't he? It's easy to forget he's only 20; what a footballing brain!

[Bob]

I've never seen a player who can spot and play killer through balls with such regularity. And that's only in the handful l of games he has played for us.

 

never watched me play. I remarked to my mate during the villa game that the weight of the pass to Henderson is exactly how i would have played it. Exactly, it was quite remarkable.

 

Considering i'm a big (fat) unhealthy centre half, i've a great touch on my passing.

 

except last night at 5-a-side, where i didnt pick out a teammate all bloody night and had a total shocker. Scored a worldy though, dribbling past 4 players before wrong footing the keeper after giving him 'the eyes'.

 

Inconsistency, thats my problem. (apart from being fat and unhealthy)

 

EDIT: (and having a bit of a dodgy knee)

[A Red]

I agree he looks very good, but hes young and not the strongest or quickest. His potential is there to see. Lets not jump all over him after the Everton game if he's quiet due to not having any time or space

He's small enough to duck under Fellaini's flying elbows, but expect him to get his shins raked by Pienaar's studs a couple of times.

He's plenty quick. I've seen him put himself about a bit, too. Physicality definitely isn't one of his greatest attributes, but for somebody so slight I've been impressed with how resilient he is on the ball.

Who are Everton going to put on him? That gobshite Fellaini? I don't think they've got anyone who can get near him.
