Really curious what is happening with him...we just made him the second highest transfer ever.

His first half season was really good.

Hope he does something at least in UCL and erase these shitty performances.

It's amazing again how we expect this guy to turn up and take the reigns when Messi isn't there.

And again he doesn't do it. Malcom who hasn't played a lot this season took matters into his own hands and carried the attack on the pitch while Coutinho looks like a player who doesn't want any of that responsibility.

Seems harsh to say this but system or not this guy is a coward. :(

He's been here for a year. Imo. he still has tine to turn it around. Think he has the quality and humility to work to make it happen.

Patience.

The thing is Coutinho has always had phases like this even at Liverpool. Sky sports and the British media hype up players to the point where you think you're getting the next Messi.

He was superb throughout 16/17 but other times he has had shaky spells. I remember watching him live at Wembley when Villa played Liverpool, he scored early and then after that was utter shit, and we were awful that season bar the FA cup run.

He does have the ability to be brilliant but the truth is when the going gets tough he hides. The circumstances behind his arrival weren't exactly ideal either, just brought in to replace a Brazilian superstar with another to save the Barca from turmoil.

I hope so.

But right now we can't afford to have him play in this condition right now. he either starts to step up or step aside for Dembele and Malcom.
