u have to grow old with him..the boy is a genius ...and he wants to be the man..i will back him to the hilt. 22 and demanding the ball and not afraid...keep at it phil. he can be one of the worlds very best 22 years old does not make him a "boy"! He is extremely wasteful and only impresses once every 10 games. When he's on song, he's great (except for his shooting - that is always embarrassing!), but he's not on song frequently enough to warrant a place in the starting lineup. His lack of consistency far outweighs anything else that he does.

Good player to watch and a lot of potential but if you compare him to gerrard, nowhere near as many goals, nowhere near as many assists and people say Gerrard should be dropped, so hows Coutinho getting in the team when he contributes so little compared to Gerrard?

Most of my sentence's are suspended, that is to say, suspended on that fine line between: fantasy and reality, sanity and insanity, hope and despair, positive and negative, belief and disbelief, sense and nonsense. In other words I'm your typical football fan serving out a life sentence

He doesn't excite me because what excites me in football is goals
Alonso didn't score many, but he was still some player.

Coutinho has the word POTENTIAL written all over him. It means basically "you can expect a lot but you're not there yet". What he lacks imo is two things: shooting ability (coachable) and consistency.

And that's another thing re Gerrard who's going to replace his goals I think in the region of 186 in 580 odd games ? Not a bad return is it ? phil will have to step up a hell lot to get close to that Don't get me wrong, Stevie's scored his fair share of goals over the years but a fair whack of that statistic were penalties (46)

I'm not sure that you can be labelled as having 'potential' when you're approaching 23. 17, 18 or 19 years of age perhaps.....but at 22 you should be considerably more developed and consistent.

just tip this thread up after another great performance.. keep the appreciation going.. support him rather than knock him..the fella has shown real guts this year and is lasting games now too..
plus a shout out to raheem who scored a stunning stunning goal but is also unloved cause he is young and makes mistakes..keep at it boys
