Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool > FC Barcelona)

Wouldn't surprise me if he's another who exits the place.

he's too good not to be playing, I do feel a bit sorry for him actually, another one dazzled by the bright lights of Barca, I bet he regrets leaving us.

Nothing to do with being dazzled and more about expecting a player that they weren't signing.
Expecting him to replace Neymar was a mistake.
Playing him in Neymar's position was a mistake.
Playing him as a 10 or AM would have got the best out of him.

Being as he ain’t playing for Barcelona , I would bring Phil back in Jan on loan...

Would suit both parties..

Genuine question.
Where would you play him and instead of whom?

More to do with our injury list in midfield mate, good option to have..

I think he would start ahead of Ox, Mini, Shaq, Naby..

He'd get fairly pissed off seeing Jones starting ahead of him.

Hes finished

Let’s not go down that road based on a tap in

He’s just equalised for Villa, totally deserved. I for one am pleased for him, we all make mistakes and we got an awful lot of money for him.

He’ll win them a good few points this season, he’ll turn losses into draws and draws into wins.

He was in the place to tap it in

Still got that class, goals and creativity from midfield or further forward. Changed the game off the bench but I doubt he will be on the bench for too long.

Hope he can find some happiness again down at villa.

set up the first and then scored oh yes he is finished. You could see the class he had  compared to some of his team mates. He looked knackered though

Not for Villa.

Looks like Stevie is the first manger since Phil left Liverpool who knows what a ordinary, sometimes poor winger - but what brillant offensive midfielder he is 

He should be playing for us. On the left, with Mo out.

On loan, less than half the wages. Knows the system. No brainer.

Such a shame.

Does he still have it? You bet he does.

Made the difference. We missed a trick here. Well done Villa for spoiling Uniteds party.

Then why didn't he show for Barca? Or even as matter of fact why didn't Bayern buy him? Maybe he has it still, but only at the level Aston Villa aspire to. And, it's just 1 F***ing game.

After a tap in 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

So based on 30 mins football where he looked shattered you come to the conclusion he still has it.   
 Judging on your comments about current side/players  you've left me gobsmacked with this post. 

Talent is never lost, it's about being in the right environment to actualise it. He would have done it with a move back here for sure, and maybe Stevie can do it too.
