I forgot how good he also was on set pieces.
The epitome of a complete (and flawed) player.
FFS, child no.5?

Only player I have seen basically turn a game on his own by himself in the flesh. Shame about his attitude..
I loved his attitude,
Win at all costs and never give up
He didnât need to bite anyone. Before he joined I remember that handball and I made the point on our predecessor that he did what anyone would do in a world cup.
That was in my view fine by me⌠he took a chance, got a deserved red card but allowed Uruguay to fight again, biting someone however is fucking nuts.

Coutinho:
"Going to FC Barcelona was supposed to be the dream, yeah? But for me, it turned into one of the biggest mistakes of my career⌠maybe even my life.
At Liverpool FC, I was loved. Properly loved. The fans, the system, everything was built for me to enjoy football. And I walked away from that thinking the grass was greener, it wasnât. Not even close.
At Barcelona, you donât get time, you donât get patience. One bad game and you feel it. Two bad games and youâre finished. People talk about pressure, but itâs different when the club already has legends in your position and youâre expected to replace magic overnight. I donât think people understand that.
Do I regret leaving Liverpool? Yeah⌠I do. Because I left a place where I was happy for a place where I was constantly trying to prove I belonged. And in football, once you start chasing acceptance instead of enjoying your game, youâre already losing.
People can say what they want, but if I could go back⌠I wouldâve stayed. Simple as that."
This is one of the cases where obviously a lot of fans were right (when there are shouts that a certain player shouldâve stayed and not chase something bigger), although often I feel theyâre wrong.
He really didnât seem to fully enjoy what came next, even if thatâs also often hard to judge from outside.

I tend to overlook Coutinho when I think about âwhat might have beenâ Liverpool players but itâs a damn shame that he couldnât have been a part of Kloppâs greatest Liverpool side.
His style might have affected the balance of the side at times, I guess, and without that money, we almost certainly wouldnât have got Van Dijk and Alisson but he was one of the last true proponents of what Brazilians referred to as Joga Bonito - how many football players bring that pure skill with them these days? Cherki perhaps?

I said back then that I trust Klopp when he says he wouldâve rather kept Coutinho.
He sort of confirmed it a few days ago when he said he was excited to have the 4 big ones for half a season. We also flipped the formation for a while after that big loss to Tottenham at Wembley.
What wouldâve happened next in terms of team evolution and possibly without Virgil and Alisson, who knows. Maybe we still wouldâve landed one of them or some other players of the same or similar calibre.
Weâll just never know.

10 years ago today, I lived every boyâs dream in a Red shirt.
Scoring against Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League at Anfield â the lights, the noise, the Kop roaring as we fought back in one of the greatest European nights this club has ever seen.
That goal, that moment, that Liverpool shirt⌠itâs etched in my soul forever.
Still gives me goosebumps. Thank you to every teammate, every fan, and everyone who made that night magic.
This oneâs for the memories that never fade. 
Youâll Never Walk Alone
Good luck tonight LFC. BELIEVE!

Amazed he admitted this. Fair play.

I do wonder if Trent will feel the same in a few years.
Though I donât think we were that harsh towards Coutinho. It did upset me a little as he was one of those players who could something from nothing.

What Phil gave us indirectly (Ali and VVD) will be remembered, what Trent gave us, not so much. I am obviously not talking about their on field performance.
