Who knows, I remember reading that Roberto didn't like Coutinho for midfield because he is too attacking, maybe now they want him to replace Neymar.
Oddly enough , tonight against Bayern Munich Coutinho played the first half in midfield and moved to the left wing in the second where he seemed to come alive . So from what I saw of the first 65 minutes and I'm a massive Coutinho fan but I'll admit he wasn't amazing - made me wonder if his mind was somewhere else
