WTF Happened To Philippe Coutinho?
WTF Happened To Philippe Coutinho?
WTF Happened To Philippe Coutinho?
When Coutinho was leaving Liverpool for Barca, Klopp told him that if he leaves he will be a just one of them, but if he stays he will get a statue in front of Anfield, as a Barca fan, i feel sad for him cuz he was playing out of his position and his position was occupied by the GOAT, especially in 2018/19 when he was in need to carry an entire team, he should have listened Klopp and stayed at Liverpool to become their legend
Exactly what I was going to say
At the time I didn’t want him to leave but I’m happy he did in the end because we signed van dijk and alisson with the money generated from his sale and they have been 2 world class signings helping us to win the premier leavue the one we all wanted so badly
I wonder what Liverpool would look like if he stayed honestly
@@Vizeh I wonder how Liverpool would have been lining up their team week in week out with 4 attackers in form (Salah, Firmino, Mane as well) as you can’t bench any in form players but losing an attacker would allow better defensive cover.
@@Vizeh Probably worse considering that selling Coutinho gave us the funds for VVD and alisson.
I remember as a 7 year old when coutinho has the world at his feet. Barcelona failed him miserably
They’ve done that with a lot of players recently to be fair
@Confessions Of A Movie Freak He meant when Coutinho was 7
@Confessions Of A Movie Freak you can’t start off a sentence with ‘you’re mad young’ 💀😂
@@dusty9210 no he didn’t
@Confessions Of A Movie Freak Well Coutinho was a great player 2014-. So this person is probably a teenager, just like most people who watch KZhead.
Haven’t watched the video fully yet, but just wanted to pipe in and say that, as a Villa fan, he’s been flourishing under Emery. As you mentioned, he only has that one goal but his cameos elsewhere (notably against City) have restored the fans’ faith in him. Unfortunately, he got an injury that’s kept him out for about a month so far, just as he was finding form. If he comes back that same player he was before the injury, he could be a key player in our push for European football.
I hope he kicks on too, but I know there were rumors of him going back to Brazil in January
@@Vizeh I think he rubbished them personally, stating he is happy at the club. Tbf I think the fact he only has one goal is mainly due to Gerard’s ineptitude earlier in the season, under Emery for a full season I hope he can kick on.
@@Vizeh as a Brazilian the press here makes up stories about our top players abroad because they see the league here as an elite in the world and don't understand why a player of his caliber would sit on the bench at villa when he could be playing here. Also Brazilians are trolls, we link top players to newly promoted clubs all the time, his ex club Vasco, which was one of the biggest in brazil finally got back in the first division so people were linking him there. It's all nonsense
Omg. Emery back in England. I missed that.
@@oligarland8191 and he was unlucky not to score 2/3 more before his goal. his last few appearances were really looking good before injury. im glad fans are swinging back towards him as honestly, we didnt spend that much to get him
As a Barcelona fan, i was and still am a big fan of him as he was one of my favorite players. It's a real shame what has happened to him because it wasn't just his fault. I remember when he came back to Barca after going on loan to Bayern, he put in some good performances and he was looking good then got injured. He came back and he didnt have the same confidence he had before until he got that bad knee injury that kept him out the rest of the season and begining of the next season. He's still a special player who can do special things when confident
I agree mate!
i love him
Prolly the best finesse shot in the 2010s era of football no doubt Phillipe Coutinho survived the fall off that many Brazilian talents suffered(Oscar,Pato,Adriano) so credit to coutinho for still playing football and performing against top 6 prem clubs
His finesse game was ridiculous!
@@VizehOscar and Pato are not exactly fall of grace because they decided they prefer money more than football glory, and they nailed that part perfectly.
As a Liverpool fan, he is still one of my favorite players. I bought his jersey when he moved to Villa. There is still a brilliant player hidden somewhere in Coutinho, who knows if we will ever see it again.
I can see him going down the James Rodrigues route and play in Qatar soon I can’t lie
I agree, it was sad to see him at Barcelona and I hope he can find his form again.
@@Vizeh Maybe, we'll have to see. I could see him going to the MLS or back to Brazil as well.
@crazydrummer5043 I hope for you. For me it was Denilson.
He gained a little bit of form in 2020 when he joined Bayern on loan even scoring 2 goals against Barca and winning the UCL. So if he would've just leave Barca straight after that season, maybe just maybe things could turned out differently.
A lot of things would have to go his way, I think maybe his motivation isn’t the same it used to be sadly
Liverpool where set up specifically to get the best out of Phil. He was the focal point of attacks. At Barca he was just a bit part player in the wrong part on the pitch doing things that weren't his strengths. His confidence suffered and he dropped off. Now he has a manger backing him and things are looking up again performance wise. I think he thrives with good man management and feeling valued, without that he is not the same player.
Were*, vocal*
@@AdminAbuse your correcting youtube comments? damn wouldnt want to be you. Can you explain to me where the "vocal" fits too please? because i think your incorrectly correcting me which would not be a good look for you. do you known what "focal point" means? lol I intentionally, used bad. grammar in this reply to annoy you. hope it worked.
He wasn’t just replacing Neymar - thanks to Barça’s lack of forward planning, he was basically made to try and replace Iniesta as well. It was an impossible task from the get go, horrendous transfer for him. Not for us though…
It was bad for you to a point as his signing is one key part that led to Messi leaving wasn’t it?
if barcelona beat liverpool we’d never be here and messi would still be a barca player
@@seanquinn8790 haha wish if it was that simple mate...if that defeat didn't occur well something much worse could have happened at Barcelona...
I'm a besiktas fan. I'll never forget the 2014/2015 season when we knocked liverpool out of europa in penalties. I remember coutinho and balotelli being stand out for liverpool. Coutinho was tearing our midfield apart at the time. Him leaving liverpool feels so recent I can't believe how long it's actually been.
Rewatched the shootout after this video thanks for bringing back memories
Tosun Pasa. Whatever that means.
Time flies doesn’t it, can’t believe it’s been over 5 years!
I think most Liverpool fans expected this. He just never was what Barca needed either at midfield or LW, and was never going to be a like for like replacement for Neymar. It's like Barca bought him without knowing what he was as a player. And at Liverpool, while his replacements (Alisson and VVD) were/are way more important than he was, we still haven't fixed the hole he left at midfield. With neither the Ox or Keita living up to expectations, and Thiago being so injury prone.
You should do a vid on how it went wrong for Alexis Sanchez, one of the best players in the premier league in 2017 at arsenal and went downhill really fast
I will do soon!
Please do this. For 2 seasons Sanchez was the best player in the prem and arguably top 5 jn the world. As An arsenal fan he made me fall in love then he broke my heart
I loved him at Liverpool, seeing him hit top bins after cutting inside with the ball will be engrained in my memory forever. If it wasn't for him we wouldn't have been as successful as we have been . I hope he shines at villa at least next season
Deli, Coutinho and James Rodriguez are all No 10s who are limited defensively - Don’t think that’s a coincidence- No room for these kinds of players in most modern tactical systems - at least according to a couple of videos I saw recently on the decline of classic 10s. Curious to hear your thoughts.
yeah I agree, and if you are a "10" of sorts your output has to be absolutely undeniable with little to no chance of not impacting the game, ie. Messi Neymar De Bruyne
I still remember, he joined us, had 14 goals and 7 assists in 22 games in the first 6 months. Valverde was Abmysal in his management. The 18-19 season he was just trying to occupy the same spaces Messi does and we all know there's just 1 guy who's coming on top of that duel. I'll forever remember the top bin outside the box Curlers he used to score from that left hand side. Really sad he couldn't work at My club
His long shot ability is OUTSTANDING
@@Vizeh truely.! Still have his Goal vs Real Sociedad on Iniesta's last game for Barca or that Goal vs Man Utd in UCL quarter finals lemon fresh in my mind
Football fans with zero ball knowledge blame Valverde when Coutinho failed under 3 different Barca managers and is now washed 30 years old at a mid table club get over yourself
My favorite new KZheadr. Great videos man! Those iceberg vids were absolute bangers as well
As a LFC Fan i still love Coutinho. One of my fav players ever. The issue with him was Barca wanted to replace a skillful, fast winger in Neymar with a slower, attacking midfielder (who was played as a LW at times at LFC, but it was clear he wasn’t as effective from that position). You simply can’t replace a winger with a midfielder. You wouldn’t buy KDB and put him in as a LW at Barca….not to even mention Barca was in loads of issues anyways before he came I think his time at Barca being played in the wrong position and then going to Aston Villa that is not his style of play whatsoever just completely destroyed his confidence. I hope he can turn it around and be played in his preferred position but he will have to leave Villa to do so.
Apparently he’s been better in recent weeks for Villa, maybe emery can still get more out of him!
your content has been amazing lately . this is top tier stuff
No KZhead channel is on a bigger roll than Vizeh. He just keeps uploading banger after banger and it’s all amazing quality.
As a Barca fan, I really hope he succeeded at Barca. I was a big fan of his signing and I really loved the transfer as well. I was so hurt seeing him fail and it wasn't even his fault.
I'm going to add this before I watch the vid, he's been one of my favorite players for a very long time. Absolute joy to watch play
Watching back on the footage and he was silk absolutely!
He'll always be a special player
Looking back on the footage he’s SMOOOOOTH
No 💀
Unpopular opinion: Coutinho should have stayed at Bayern as he originally wanted to but Bayern board didn't wanted to pay 80 mil for him but yet they ended up paying the same amount for Leroy Sané.
I would much rather have Sane than Coutinho mate
Viz out here dropping a video on one of my absolute favorites, love to see it!
Up the Brazilians🇧🇷
It was great when Liverpool had him but like many players that were in Klopp's system they are amazing in his systems then fall apart to mediocre in others. Maybe he can sign as a super sub for ok money for Liverpool again as we are losing so many players this summer.
As a Barça fan, I wasn't as disappointed in Coutinho as most. I always liked him as a player since his Inter days and I was excited when he joined, in his first two seasons I remember him playing pretty well and we won the league but the entire team capitulated twice in the UCL so it looked really bad on the face of it. I feel like the coaches at the time never played him in his correct position and we already had Messi, Suarez, Iniesta, Rakitic, Dembele so Valverde was never going to change the team to adapt to Coutinho, and Countinho never fully adapted so he never became a nailed on starter. He went to Bayern for playing time and did really well, I personally didn't care that much that he scored against us because the overall result and performance was lightyears worse
He started off decent from what I saw, wasn’t too bad just faded near the end didn’t he
As a Barcelona fan, I feel very bad for him. He was such a class player. I just feel like we should have never bought him because our board and the coach had no clear sporting project. It was just to pass to Messi and pray. Same w Griezmann. Class player, but we couldn't use him properly.
and injuries did not help him either...
Griezmann and Coutinho has similar treatment I agree
Coutinho is still class for me in villa. But the problem is that he always gets injured and that’s what happened most of this season he played against Arsenal and scored then got injured in training. Injury’s also ruined him.
Whats sucked the most about Coutinho's time at Barcelona was that he arrived at essentially the same time Iniesta and Neymar left, and Barcelona were at the start of their spiral, where they just bought the best 25-30 year old they could afford and didn't bother with thinking about youth players to bolster the future of their team. He had to replace Neymar yes, but he also had to replace Iniesta, which is an impossible task piled onto an already hard task.
poor lad, wrong place at the wrong time. His move to Barca was a disaster from word go ¦He had to replace Iniesta and Neymar which both positions where not Coutinho's positions AMF, And there was Messi there as well in the free role playmaker, We really lost a generational talent here as LFC, how i wish he had stayed but alas life happened.
Great essay as always! Note: 4:25 -> Barcelona has been the world's elite since 2004-ish and Real Madrid since around 1997 (with UCL titles to back them up). Before that, no Spanish team had won the Champions league for 30+ years. There was no permanent elite per-se as shown by who won the European Cup, just a bunch of world class teams, some of which come and go, like Hamburg, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest...
Isn't it interesting that Coutinho thrived first in Klopp's gegenpressing system and then briefly in another German system at Bayern during his loan spell? Not the more natural tikitaka or jdp football that south american players are typically drawn towards
I was devastated when he left Liverpool, but quickly came to thank him for funding 2 of the most important pieces of our squad. I always thought he would bring Liverpool success, and realistically he did. A perfect example of, the grass isn't always greener.
Man he was special i hope he get his motivation back and Work hard and gets back to his best that 2016/2017 season was unbelievable
as a barcelona fan, i respect coutinho for that 2-8
Sometimes I do wish Phil would have come with us on that journey between 2018-2021 where we scooped every trophy we could, he was definitely a player who deserved it and he would have been rememeber as one of Anfield's greats. Pre Barcelona he was absolutley incredible, he was the beating heart of that Liverpool team after Gerrard left and like I said had he stayed he would have gone on to be truly remembered as an Anfield and Premier League icon. Sadly time will move on and very few will remember the Brazilian genius who left at exactly the wrong time.
This man was an absolute joy to watch, his long shots and dribbling were something to behold. However, he also allowed the signings of both Virgil Van Dijk and Alisson to happen, both of which became the best in the world in their respective positions. So, I still don’t know how to feel about his transfer. While he was one of the best midfielders in the world with us, he was also the reason that we made our two best and most important signings under Klopp.
He would do bits if he was still at Liverpool. Especially in our current midfield state
Still vividly remember his first few games as a red. What a talent always wonder how he’d be if he stayed
He's still really good, he's been solid under Emery. He will get back to good form. He is 31 I think so he has max, 4 years. Either way, he's had a very fruitful career. He is still great
as a villa fan coutinho is a bit of a tragedy. He came in and was amazing but i think gerrard ball killed everything good about the team. under unai he has been looking really good and leading up to his goal he was unlucky not to score 2/3 more and he was looking really good. unfortunately he scored and got injured and hasnt played since. obvious not the liverpool world beater he was, but might be staying at villa if he can play like he has been for us
Basically barca wanted him to replace Iniesta himself and played him out of possession and with roles he can't do it Just like Griezmann. Bartomeu has bought players depending on their fifa rating, Just as what todd boehly is doing currently by signing players depending on what the other big six clubs targeting.
His career was sad to see. Was a world class player at Liverpool and could have become a legend there alongside with salah, mane and many more but I don't blame him going to barca because that was a massive dream move
Mad how i remeber him banging in goals for Liverpool, I miss him it's sad, maybe he isn't worth nhat much and had too much to live up to, what might have been
He was worth it at the time for me, just wrong timing
Just adding on my comment he really does have the skill to compete at the highest level even in the premier league he just needs the right manager like Klopp to get the best out of him.
You think somewhere like a Spurs could be best for him?
@@Vizeh Spurs might be the place for him but the problem is they really don’t have a sound foundation for him to excel in
My favorite player. I was 9. Turned on the tele and saw coutinho score a banger against Everton in 2017. Then I fell in love w football. I truely beleive he is one of the best players of this gen and one of the most talented players we’ve ever seen. At his best I’ve seen few players as good as him.
Not to mention he played amazing everywhere else but Barca. He was amazing at Bayern 😭
Barca fan here. Coutinho was one of the many players brought in during the Bartemeou era. Came in on ridiculous wages and bought too pricey. And one consistent theme of that era was signing players that did not fit the system or players whose roles were already taken by another player. Griezmann too had this issue cause Messi and him liked to cover the same areas of the pitch and do the same things. Even though we bought Coutinho for a hefty sum, at the time I was very optimistic about his signing. Even when his performances were underwhelming, I was waiting patiently for him to show what I knew he was capable of but he never really performed and it broke my heart when he left the club. There is a constant running theme of players dreaming of playing for Barca then coming to play for us only for it to never workout. Because of this, we have become notoriously known for spoiling players careers.
Love the designs on mezalla!!! Beckford one is class mate
Thank you mate!
Coutinho is the perfect example that the GRASS IS NOT ALWAYS GREENER on the otherside.
Sad to see such a talent find the grass is not greener as they thought it would be.
He's a legend for LFC. Enabling VVD + Alisson to come in which helped balanced the team from both attack and defense. Eventually landing the UCL and EPL titles... Thank you Coutinho....
I think these 2 video concepts could be good to discuss about; 1. The Story of Marco Reus (Would could have happened without the injuries and his loyalty to Dortmund) 2. Why do/did Belgium fail/ underachieve with their golden generation
Would could?
Not really, Coutinho was bought by Barcelona to replace Iniesta who was going to retire from the club at the end of the season. Dembele was the player they bought to replace Neymar In his first season (second half of 17-28) Coutinho was actually performing as usual because he was ploaying as a midfielder in a 4-4-2, but for whatever reason, valverde decided to go back to the 4-3-3 and use coutinho as a winger, making him ain a position where he cant play and at the same time not letting Dembele have any minutes even when he was aviable
As a Liverpool fan, I wish I could have seen him playing more with the iconic trio - Firmino, Mane and Salah. However, I remember our defence at that time, especially that we had Karius in the goal
He has no one to blame but himself. Just after signing new and well paid contract and almost at the end of transfer window he pleaded club to let him go to Barca without giving time to replace him. And he would say he's injured only to play in national team. What he did to Liverpool was disrespectful
because Liverpool blocked his move in the summer so he was still having Barca on his mid, every player does this its not s big deal
Good note on Coutinho, who I know mostly from legacy Liverpool videos as I am a relative newcomer to European Football, but Wow!, he was fabulous in his prime. Unfortunately for Coutinho, his family, and all fans, the move away from Liverpool, or to Barcelona, somehow caused a fade. But it would be almost impossible for a play to properly mesh into the MSM system even though it would seem like the best possible opportunity for even a middling play to excel. But...giant Respect to Coutinho for all he did through personal endeavors in his years giving joy to the fans.
Honestly had you watched him live a few years ago for Liverpool you'd see exactly why he was sold for over 100 million, he truly was one of the best attacking midfielders in world football during that era. Had he stayed and sat behind Firmino, Salah and Mane it's worrying to think how unstoppable Liverpool might have been in recent years.
As a Villa fan I think it's unfair to judge him on this season. Gerrard was such a shambles of a manager the entire team looked a shadow of themselves. Coutinho's injury problems since Unai arrived limited his game time in a team with any form of game plan and he has expressed his desire to stay. I hope Unai will be able to get him to even 80% of his old self if given the time.
bro was my fav as a kid after suarez left, get him on the left handside of the box and hes gonna slap it top right everytime
Countinho literally made Liverpool win a champions league and a prem lmao 💀🙏
Neymar did too😂
Should have never left Liverpool. As Klopp said ‘stay here and they’ll build you a statue, go elsewhere and you’ll just be another player’.
I’m a lfc fan he was once my hero in football sad to see his downfall
Still one of my Faves🤲🙏❤️🔥
He just needs to be at a club with some pride and enthusiasm. Honestly if he goes back to Liverpool it would probably be a good move even though they're struggling right now.
Who is here after Coutinho joined the Qatar league?
Hi Vizeh did you know that Liverpool’s first ever FA Cup Trophy was in 1965 when they beat Leeds United 2-1 they previously were runners up in 1914 vs Burnley they lost to them 1-0 and 1950 losing to Arsenal 2-0 since 1965 they’ve won a total of 8 FA Cup titles
You going to keep saying this?
@@Vizeh sorry if it’s annoying I’ll stop sorry
As a Stevenage fan on the way to Villa Park seeing that Coutinho was starting, I was intimidated. But he was genuinely awful, couldn't get a shot on target and was marked out of the game by Luther James-Wildin and Jordan Roberts.
quality video!
You’re the GOAT man, always here!❤
Coutinio was amazing, I was heartbroken when he left on an emotional level. On a business, realism level I understood that we would be a much better team without him. He was too slow to be a truly brilliant winger, did not defend enough and was too small to be the best midfielder he could be. He worked best when given free reign. When allowed to float around (like Messi used to do) and turn up where he could hurt teams the most. The issue is that means you feel sometimes that you have 10.5 outfield players and others like you have 9.5. When he was out of the team we were more solid. Add VVD and AB to that and it becomes a no brainer. I genuinely thought he would be a flop at Barcelona. He is a luxury flair player who isn't quick enough. At that time Barcelona demanded more from their players than Liverpool did. If I was him I would have stayed at Liverpool. Liverpool would have kept him for the long hall and payed him handsomely. I do think Liverpool would have struggled to win the Champions League and Premier League with him in the team. Saying all that, I still love the guy and from a solely emotional place I would take him back 100%. Albeit, to use as a flair player against lesser teams. Although we took Fowler back at one point and that didn't exactly go to plan.
Moral of the story is - if you are an attacking midfielder or free role player, you should choose your club wisely. Coutinho failed, Hazard failed, Arda Turan failed, Mason mount struggling, Messi's struggled at his new club, Grealish's became someone unrecognizable, Nabil Fekir being forgotten after refusing to Liverpool move, Brahim doing fine but still struggling with formation and playing time.
Nothing sums up his career better than his best game while at Barcelona being against Barcelona themselves in the 8-2
stick this man in that liverpool midfield I swear that man can walk straight with no challenges to our XI
One of my favorite players growing up man :/
I didn’t think these vids can get better but then they do 😂
This one is a smaller one but hope it’s still interesting!
The J Cole type beat, the amount of times I’ve tried to freestyle to that 😅
As a Liverpool fan, Coutinho is a bit of an unsung legend. A class touch of business from the Liverpool front office sold him way overpriced. Which helped them get 2 world class defenders (2023 form debatable), and coutinho did his best sleeper cell double agent impression in that semi final. Contributing to the team even after he left!!
I think if her were a Liverpool player on 18 champions league fina,things would be different by now...maybe Liverpool having 9 championships😊
Liverpool fan here, thanks for the memories and the money
We were not looking to sell him until he said he wanted to leave to Barca. He knew he would not be the star at Barca and Klopp told him that. His current value is around 17mil 4mil more then what we bought him for initially and we need midfielders. I don’t see why we shouldn’t give him a second chance other than that Klopp said he doesn’t resign players
no mate hes finished
you have something wrong here 0:54 osmane dembélé is the one who got fee of 105 million philippe was at least 150 million
yeah I caught that too but later in the video he does explain the add ons which does add up to 140 mil which is what most people know his transfer to be
Even as a Barca fan I never wanted him to leave Liverpool, it was obvious that if had stayed he’d be a club legend and would’ve won the Champions league with them which would’ve added on to his legendary status but it is simply a what if…
That’s fair lad!
What annoyed me as a Liverpool fan was seeing him not celebrate his top bins when he wanted to leave.
tbf u didnt mention the fact that pretty much all villa players were awful under gerrard at the start of this season. then when emery came in coutinho and all villa players started to show good form and he even scored 2 goal in 2 games; unfortunately one of them VAR took away due to a very tight decision. you also didnt mention that hes been injured for months so wasn't able to flourish under emery . i think there's still hope for him being a key player at villa.
James has revived his career at olympiacos
doesn't even play for them LMAOOO
Coutinho at liverpool was worth as much as Neymar but he was expensive for not being the main man but he is still Great at villa park sorry I mean camp nou sorry I mean Allianz arena sorry I mean Anfield
In recent years, there has been a decline in the prominence of the number 10 role in football. Traditionally, the number 10 was given to a team's most creative player, the player responsible for orchestrating attacks and providing assists for the strikers. However, with the evolution of football tactics and formations, the importance of the number 10 role has diminished. One reason for the decline of the number 10 role is the rise of pressing and counter-pressing in modern football. Teams now prioritize pressing and winning the ball back high up the pitch, which means that traditional playmakers have less time and space to operate in. Instead, teams are more likely to use a midfield trio or quartet that can interchange positions and maintain possession, rather than relying on one player to create chances. Another factor is the emergence of the false nine, a striker who drops deep and creates space for other players to run into. With the false nine, teams don't necessarily need a traditional number 10 to create chances, as the striker can fulfil that role while also scoring goals. Finally, the increasing importance of fullbacks in modern football has also played a part in the decline of the number 10. Fullbacks now play a more attacking role, providing width and crosses for the forwards, which means that teams can rely less on a central playmaker. Overall, while the number 10 role may be dying out in its traditional form, the evolution of football tactics means that creativity and attacking flair can come from a variety of positions on the pitch.
So many people are saying Barca ruined him but i have to disagree, and I'm a huge fan of his. He came to Barca knowing very well that we brought him in to replace Neymar, and thats why he played on the left. He didn't perform well and the different managers tried to play him in other positions to try and keep him in the squad, which still didn't work. Then we sent him out on loan to Bayern and he performed much better, so the next season he stayed at Barca but again things weren't happening, and by this time we had brought in Dembele and Griezmann so there was even more competition, so unfortunately he had to end up leaving. NOTE: In all honesty, I would've preferred us keeping him if he still wanted to stay
This list of failed Brazillians is making me cry, we've had so many special players and could never feature a world cup final in over 20 yrs G**dammit
It’s ridiculous isn’t it🥲
The reason I love football. I want that Phil back 🥺
It’s not his form that’s the problem it’s the position off his role! He’s a CAM/CF, team nowadays play a 4-3-3! His position has been forgotten about now! I’ll name afew cams who now play cm If not none starters! Firminho was a cam then they changed him to striker, coutinho was a cam but started for Barca on the wing, dele Ali was a cam but stopped impacting games when he was forced to play deeper, erikson was a cam and now he plays cm, mason mount was a cam now he plays cm if not winger at times, Ozil played cam, his poor performances led to being benched and now retired, Lanzini was a cam and now he barely plays and if he does it’s winger, havertz was a cam but became striker to fit in with Chelsea
James got too injured and Everton wanted to reset, plus Ancelotti left. In the Middle East he just went for money so he didn't wanna be there. Now in Greece it is the same thing as in Everton. Injured and now Marcelo left so he has no connection. His wages are too high for a team to build around him and he is too old also, but he's too good for a bad team where he has no connection
Coutinho is one of those players that was never consistent in terms of his brilliance, like the Klopp quote highlighted, "You can't be a genius every day" but he was willing to put in the work in the Liverpool system. Even when he joined Liverpool from Napoli it was at a cut rate price, Napoli had spent big on him and he didn't live up to the pressure of being 'The future of Napoli' and so he became anonymous and his perfomances dropped off, any big transfer to put him front and center was always going to be a lot of pressure that he'd failed to handle in the past. Hi transfer to Barcelon was also a product of the time, Liverpool were seen as a stepping stone to the Spanish giants, Xabi Alonso, Javier Mascherano, Fernando Torres (Although to Chelsea), Luis Suarez all used Liverpool as the step up to get the big moves; However under the ownership of FSG who felt they had been fleeced by the Suarez sale because of the tapping up by Barca players in the season before they were always going to hardball any subsequent sale, so knowing there was 200mil in the bank to burn on a player they exploited that, the money would've always been a rod for him to be beaten with, nevermind going in to a squad to replace Neymar when ultimately he wanted to play alongside him.
Napoli?? Don’t you mean Inter Milan lad?
@@KelvinStenson-ee5xm yeah, probably, I didn't remember the exact team, I just remembered "Blue Italian Club" thanks for the correction
Wee Brazilian still struggling to get out of Luther wildins pocket my friend
Bro, the way you say "Baaaaarselona".. At first I thought you were taking deep breaths looking at the state of Barcelona but when I realized.. XD No offence, I literally heard this for the first time and I had to express my feelings. No need to change your way of talking ofc. Great videos, keep it up.
The honest truth is, his back injuries have never been resolved since the 18/19 season
Another example of amateur broadcasters looking to stir up some.controversy . In reality their knowledge.of the game is minimal. Coutinho is the victim of the chaos that was Barcelona. The club under hopeless ownership betrayed several other players including Messi. Aston Villa see no place for Coutinho . He would thrive at a club like ManUtd where he would be allowed to express himself . For me it has been a pleasure to have seen him at his best. I rank him very highly . I have seen all the worlds best in my 82 years on this earth. He is one of them.
Couthino still has 3 years left to perform at his absolute best if he works hard enough and I mean really hard, i think couthino should force a move to Bayern Munich in the summer
Liverpool's midfield is absolute crap at the moment so he could have a chance at redemption if he still had it in him. Dunno though, I grew up on football but my interested waned around 2008 and I didn't get back into it till 2019 so I missed Coutinho entirely.
He messed things up for himself I get going to Barca is most people's dream but klopp would've built a team around him but at Barca he was just anther player instead of the main player he should've been
As a Bayern fan, I liked him but he wasn't clutch, scored when we were already winning. Müller better. But it would have been ok if he stayed a couple more years. Best game: 8-2 😍
From an outsider perspective, Phil just needed to be the main man, he's that flairy type player, a dying breed nowadays, who need to be told they're free to do what they want, not work in a system, look up and down the league and you'll see players who are just given freedom and that's what makes them so good, past players could be Ozil, Ronaldinho, current more like Mbappe, Haaland to an extent, Salah, or looking further down someone like Zian Flemming at Millwall, Phil needed to be the main man, and when he went to Barca and wasn't anymore, that's what killed his career
Sad! Sad!!!. I have adored this player. He was probably misguided by Latin American dream. Klopp begged him to stay and told him one day your statue will be in Anfield, but if you leave you will be just a player..........and......'Just -a -player' he had become.
