After the summer was thinking Jürgen might show him whose boss for a bit, leave him out here/there, and maybe taking him off vs Leicester was something of a slap round the ears, cause he looked fresh and getting back his sharpness back in that 1st half. Not back to 100%, but getting there.
OK, that might be conspiracy theorising (don't know if that's a word) but the wierdly-named-Cup is in the past, and the way this season has started, we need Coutinho more than we ever have out there on the pitch to pull our f**king trousers up by the ankles before we get fu**ed up the jacksy again.
Mane suspended, Champerpot not hitting the mark ('yet' .. benefit of doubt), Lallana injured etc ... we REALLY need Cou influencing next few games they way we know he can...
Would absolutely LOVE to see Cou cutting back onto his right, and curling a trademark shot into the corner. Cmon Phil !!!!
