      He is a brilliant player, deserved to be up there with the best players in the league. He is only 22 and a long way to go, I'm thinking 2 or 3 years down the line when he matures he can become one of the best players in Europe.

      Hopefully he can stick with us for a while, don't want teams like RM or Barca sniffing... :-\

      People complaining about him being in the PFA team of the year despite never actually watching him play this season unless it was against their shitey little team.

      Ignorance makes me angry.

      Hes had a good season given the lack of poachers up front. With a real quality forward he would be bagging 20 + assists a season. Hes also added goals to his game, and has developed his shot from outside. His shot is becoming something we can rely on.

      Thought Coutinho was decent yesterday, but does anyone else here think the novelty has worn off with him mostly playing on the left of midfield or left #10? It's just become too predictable and I feel it's limiting him.

      I think Coutinho's style of play is more suited to a lone #10 where he can roam, but most importantly, this allows him to support our attacking players on either side, becoming less predictable. Someone of Coutinho's caliber needs to be on the ball, so having him follow the attacking play than stay rooted as a left sided attacking mid makes more sense.

      It is limiting him mate but even if he was playing in the pocket there's only so much the little genius can do with garbage like Balotelli playing in front of him.

      Fantastic player who should have the team playing to his strengths like what was done with Suarez but as good as he is, he doesn't strike me as much of a leader on the pitch in terms of being captain material. He's more a case of being one of those players who quietly goes about his business.

      Some posters eh?

      I'd be worried once that ban is up though.

      The team should be built around this lad now.

      Given decent movement ahead of him he can become a great player.
