“He’s Easily Shaken” | Explaining Philippe Coutinho’s Decline Since Leaving Liverpool
What went wrong for Philippe Coutinho? After leaving Liverpool, where his performances had elevated him to one of the world’s best attacking players under Jurgen Klopp, he has failed to reach those same heights, and finds himself being shopped around by his parent club, FC Barcelona. His massive wage budget makes him a financial liability for many, including his loan club, Bayern Munich, who recently declined to make his loan move a permanent one. Here, we’ll try to examine and explain Philippe Coutinho’s downfall since leaving Liverpool.

at the time of the coutinho sell, i thought we were really going to regret it. never been happier to be wrong in my life!
I was pretty happy cuz it was 100 mil
I was gutted ... but the arrival of VVD cheered me up big time!
I can't lie I still would take him back
I was fuming coz we hadnt replaced him. Thought we were fucked tbh. All that hard work i thought was going to go to shit. How wrong was i. Lol
Won't lie, most Liverpool fans felt that way
I'm sure watching what Liverpool has gone on to accomplish without him has had an enormously negative effect on him mentally and emotionally. It must be really hard for him to watch.
@RollsReus _ MR11 Yes they are, you think they are not human? And the point is that especially players like Coutinho, get affected more easily than others. He left the team and they won 4 titles, meanwhile he doesn't even know where he will be next season. Impossible that it doesn't make him depressed. Imagine you had a girlfriend who loved you and you broke up with her and 2 months later she wins $20 million in the lottery while you are homeless.
RollsReus _ MR11 Most ex-Liverpool players were rejoicing when Liverpool won the Premier League. But Coutinho is strangely silent. He could have been the star of all these awards, and he knows that. It sure is sad to see him so lost and unwanted. He is still a great talent.
@RollsReus _ MR11 I'm sure he was a tiny bit affected when barca fans booed him, quite a change from the adulation of the Anfield crowd and the whole city.
@RollsReus _ MR11 yeah I'm sure he feels regret. Only the man himself can tell if he is affected emotionally and mentally or not. But I for sure can say if it was me, I'll be depressed as heck.
He is a millionaire. Don’t feel too bad for him.
Coutinho proved his haters wrong
Barca wasted like 150 million on Coutinho and he scores 2 against them lmao
You speak like he score 2 goals and the game ended 2-0.
well, as Rabona stated, Coutinho likes to score against weeker teams like Bremen, Hoffenheim and Barcelona
blackmangod glorious lmao, that’s not the point, he came off the bench and in 15 minutes made a assist and scored two gaols, meaning it would be only 5-2, 5-2 is better than Barcelona’s loss in 1950, he made it one of the worst in the year, not even that, also your own transfer coming off the bench and being involved in one goal and scoring two is embarrassing
Mia San mia
Yeah... he's an extraordinary player because was able to play well for 5 minutes against a defeated and broken rival. What an amazing performance! I wonder why Bayern refused to buy such star.
It was painful watching him for Barcelona. He looked lost on the pitch.
Was this because he was played out position?
Bcuz Barcelona are stupid, messi is and was hurting coutinho and griezmanns development and game performances bcuz messi plays in the positions that both coutinho and griezmann like to play in but messi will never be moved out of position obviously... So why would barça splurge all that money on griezmann AND coutinho for over 250 million. Barthalemu is a horrible sporting director
@@Lightwaverable Yes both griezmann and coutinho are being played out of position bcuz of messi and its hurting Barcelona as a club big time bcuz they spent over 250 million on those 2 players alone... Liberpool hit the jackpot bcuz coutinho was not worth 140 million, he was worth prolly around 80-90 million around hazards price. Barcelona git there pants pulled down
BarebackBarbarians FC Not a Barca fan but I ask myself the same question. Barcelona spent so much money on 2 players who pretty much the same position’s as Messi. They completely neglect other positions like CM or ST and focus so much on big brand signings.
Coutinho was our talisman after Suarez he kept us relevant and inspired most of the confidence in Klopp without coutinho we don't get any trophies
I would feel sorry for him but he’s the one who pushed for a move so he can only blame himself
@ady nails yeah hes Brazilian andxa lot of Brazilians gravitate towards Barcelona and real Madrid. However i would definitely have stayed at liverpool simply because of Klopp. I would know he would make me a better player. Barcelona is far more ruthless and he should've realised that
No he can't. Blame is the main issue about all this. It's a false conclusion. Man do you ever even feel about how off "the things" you say feel? But I don't mean to blame you since you said it yourself, you actually want to feel sorry for him but are not able to.
@ady nails at least suarez doesnt pay liverpool to leave the club. But coutinho really desperate and direspect in my point of view when he even pay the buy out clause for barcelona for the transfer. Smh
@@zaifonnn5893 whatever hes still earning more in a week than what u get in a year
@ady nails Suarez did not force a move out, he said he wanted to leave. When he was on the pitch he gave everything for Liverpool and even signed a new contract after 2013/14 season. Coutinho did not even try to play so Liverpool had to sell him.
Imagine leaving Liverpool to win the CL only for them to knock out you're employer and win it
He deserved it.
And now losing out on EPL as well 😅
your employer * here. You're employer means you are an employer. Anyway I hope he finds his form in a decent team for his own sake
Bayern could very well win the CL this year and he already has 2 Laligas , 1 Bundesliga, 1 copa del rey, most likely 1 DFB pokal,
From that perspective, he's been successful, hopefully he comes back to Barça and plays in the midfield
@@sumzk LOL 2 Laligas. If you play for Barca or real M its a 50/50 chance you win the Laliga. That trophy is worth 297 pesos;) If you play for Bayern its a 84% chance you win the Bundesliga (which is a much tougher league than Laliga;) but still. If he wants easy titles he should join PSG;) hahaha
Unlike Torres I have ZERO sympathy for Coutinho .... Klopp did EVERYTHING he could to convince him it was a mistake to go ... and when you ignore personal advice and love from a man like Klopp ... you'll probably reap what you sow ...
Torres had watched Liverpool slowly sell many of their best players in the time since they finished second ... and he was being managed by Roy Hodgson while Liverpool's owners were bleeding the club dry. He left a team in crisis ... and it was understandable, even if he seems to now regret doing it.
Phil left a club that was finally starting to burn brightly ... The short-lived 'fab four' with Mane, Salah and Firmino was an UNREAL attacking unit, easily the best in world football ... and he could have been part of that.
I agree and i really was very disappointed with Torres when he moved to Chelsea.
But out of 3 people that left the club (Owen / Karius / Coutinho) if i were to pick just one that would be forgiven leaving our lovely club i would probably forgive only Loris Karius.
That devastating night that cost us the 6th (which we've had wone 1 year later though with these mentality monsters of ours xD) is still nothing compared to leaving the club for money like in Phil's case or worse yet - leaving for the VARchester Divded scums.
Honest to god - Michael Owen is a fucking rat who wanted to get easy cheese. Guess what? A fucking rat has to work his sorry ass to bite that cheese he's just a disgracefull rat who's went to Varchester Divided scums to win trophies.
If it is Phil's case if he would reflect on himself and his actions - i would take him back. His displays at Liverpool could become legendary. They still can if people will say sorry to themselves and if he could be forgiven that is.
I do miss his plays and long range stunners. We've lost Stevie Gerrard not so long ago he's had to retire and the one and only man who could try to fill in with the quality of Stevie's bangers could be just Coutinho and nobody else - but well thats just my opinion.
But because of him, we could assign Allison, VVD, and Fab. It's totally complicated for me.
You are wrong. Coutinho's limited athletic ability was shown by analytics and Klopp wanted to sell. The lovehombing was a front.
@@TheChannelofaDisappointedMan maybe, but Klopp knew he struggled against teams who likes to play in their own half instead of an attacking football, that's why in the 17/18 season we beat City only to lose to Swansea, Coutinho thrived against those teams because of his skill and creativity, that's why Klopp was very eager to buy Keita.
His position, and James rodriguez too i think, is a luxury. A team can only afford that luxury to 1 player, or they're gonna sacrifice their defence.
I really feel like true CAMs don’t have a place in today’s football
It’s true , but at least James Rodríguez won 2 champions league titles , other few titles and became a world cup top scorer , i mean he’s still in a fucked up position , but a better fucked up position than Coutinho.
Looking at him, James, and Ozil suffer means simply the death of the free 10 role.
..... and Mario Goetze?
@@dumfriesspearhead7398 goetze was physically ill.he has myopathy i think.ozil on the other hand was the greatest playmaker in his prime at real and German national team.he was a joy to watch as a German real Madrid fan.
The traditional no.10..very much like the traditional no.9 are becoming far less frequent as we're in the age of inverted wingers becoming strikers, false 9's becoming CAM's and FB's becoming playmakers..Movement rules supreme now
@RollsReus _ MR11 in fashion lol
KDB and David Silva were number 10 but now they are CM with attacking role. Why cant other CAMs do that? Is that really hard?
Honestly, to me, Coutinho's decline shows how and why Klopp can get the best out of players. Klopp plays a proper system. He gives everyone a clear and precise plan of action. It's almost a fool-proof system where, as long as you're following the instructions, even average players can contribute beyond their individual assets. Clearly, Barcelona has a much less rigid system of play where you are encouraged to use your imagination to develop the play. Coutinho's performances at Liverpool were due to the consistency of the play. Every time he received the ball, he knew where the other players were going to be and, using muscle memory, could act according to each situation. When he left Liverpool, that muscle memory no longer fit the team he was playing with, giving him that appearance of someone who was 'lost'.
This is correct. Klopp system is like a machine that runs on passion. Also each part of team knows what to do and is important to work properly. At the same time none of the parts is irreplacable.
'Muscle memory', it's called team chemistry.
Coutinho was very good under Rodgers too
@@okflyaway99 when you played too much fifa
half of barcelonas team is used to playing for possession where the other half like coutinho/greizman are constantly looking to make attacking runs meaning they're never going to get the ball during possessing plays. In premiere league the teams are always trying to push the ball forward vs. sending the play back which can be awkward to adjust to or catch any sort of rhythm when you're not touching the ball. Coutinho always looked best on barcelona when he was carrying the ball as he was used to in liverpool
Coutinho is like that high school Ex girlfriend who left the guy who loved her so much for the most popular guy and only to get pregnant and get dumped to raise a child as a single Mom.
an excellent analogy!

When Liverpool were placing 8th in the league and I was wondering how we could win a title, i never thought it would be to sell our star player 😂
Ikr lmao. Does anyone else remember when that one guy said we should sell him and buy a bunch of other good players? Lmao we all laughed at him and look at us now
whats funny , we got like 5 or more star players
@@LV-mo6xs yeah, me never see that until we win something, patience is the key
@@muhammadfareez yh who would've thought we'd be where we are today lmao
@@LV-mo6xs who woulda thought Henderson would be good
Honestly I blame Barcelona there search For the Next Neymar killed European talent from Phill Coutinho , Ousmane Dembele and Now Antoine Griezman
Coutinho is South American. Not European
Coutinho and Griezman did it to themselves, Dembele is plagued with injuries.
Coutinho is Brazilian wtf are you talking about ?
Dembele is really poor meantily Griezman has just been playing bad and countinho is Barca’s fault
I don't know about Dembale, but Antoin got another problem, that is unable to gel with Messi or Messi not accepting him in place of Neymar.
In a season or two we'll probably see Griezmann at the same state.
Bcuz Barcelona are stupid, messi is and was hurting coutinho and griezmanns development and game performances bcuz messi plays in the positions that both coutinho and griezmann like to play in but messi will never be moved out of position obviously... So why would barça splurge all that money on griezmann AND coutinho for over 250 million. Barthalemu is a horrible sporting director.
@@MoejiiOsmanTV and they're both stupid for forcing the move to go through
Messi is the GOAT and all but Barca needs to stop prioritising him over new talents. Will Messi still be playing in five years at the top level? (Hopefully yes) but no, Barcelona is a football club, don’t get too invested into a player, they’re meant to think long term. They should have experimented with coutinho and griezman at the middle licensing them with freedom for more than half a season at least or push Messi to give them reasons to keep playing first team or go out to find a team like c ronaldo before retiring.
@@dzassault Okay... cool bud, that was definitely what Ronaldinho thought when he took Messi under his wing... 1 man team is not a team babe.
@@dzassault goat lol
Coutinho sacrificed himself for the good of Liverpool. They have been the runner and winner of the champions league and also won the premier league, all in two years.
Sorry three years
A martyr.
@@RabonaTV good one!
I doubt that. As an LFC fan myself, I know what Klopp is capable of. He would have made it work.
@@RabonaTV 🤣🤣🤭
Hopefully he does well when he reunites with Poch at Newcastle haha
Are you so sure about takeover thingy?
@@chakraborty1989
Nothing confirmed, but it seems really possible
@@gerhardsmith7892 I though it was official already. If it works out Newcastle United will be the richest club in the world they will be able to buy a real castle use it as a field and home base.
Hahaha😂😂
@@HVLLOWS1999 It's not happening so far. Otherwise we would be hearing Newcastle signing star after star. But they didnt so far. Newcastle is till same average mid table english club.
Klopp is the reason. He's going through depression I'm sure. When you know someone was right but your pride gets the best of you
Sadly for him I think he needs a Klopp
Absolutely right! He needs a coach that wld instill that confidence in him!
He clearly doesnt need klopp when he chose to leave. Hes too excited to walk along the stars on the pitch where he thought he belongs to.. despite klopp's advice for him to stay in Liverpool. Well..he is the star. Just..unfortunately he never met barcelona's kind of standard of 'star'.
No please, Liverpool doesn't need him. Facts of our success without him don't lie
Mario Götze the same, those kind of players need klopp more then klopp needs them. Simple but true
Nah..he need to get his shit back together again..well he want to go to barca so he need to fight for his play time, like what he did at liverpool in his early days
"It's my boyhood dream". This is what happens when you allow your heart to rule your head
you 😂thank you
Couldn’t agree more with you
Can RUclips get their act together. This man is being robbed of his views since the season restarted. Wakanda Algorithm is this????
Greatest Liverpool legend ever, won them their first premier league
LOL true tho
Ain't any denying it...
No
Lol "Coutinho" must be a term that LFC fans use to describe something that the club did incredibly right!
It's not though. At the time many Liverpool fans thought selling Couts was going to be a disaster which would cement us in the second tier of world football as a club that the biggest clubs could prey upon. It didn't work out that way but I don't think most Liverpool fans think there was any foresight of that.
It is never guaranteed that when you buy replacement players they will fit in and there was an element of luck that both Van Dyke and Allison cam good right away. Fabinho took a little longer to settle in and - as if to illustrate the point - Naby Keita, who many people expected great things from, never really has.
*wins 4-0* holy shit boys, we did a coutinho there
This proves why Liverpool is such a great club, a fantastic atmosphere and culture to improve as a player. Look at guys like Fernando Torres, Luis Suarez, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, all improved astronomically once arriving at Anfield. In the past you had Kevin Keegan, Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush, John Barnes, Peter Beardsley and so many more. I haven’t even mentioned defenders and midfielders, as there are many of them who improved their careers after joining the Reds.
Liverpool is not just a football club, it’s an institution where a player becomes part of a family, which continues to be part of you well after your career is over.
YNWA, the greatest football club in the world!!!
You're right. Liverpool is so good, they have been "refusing" to win the Premiership for the last 30 years because they want other teams to have a good time.
@@EstebanMataVargas Esteban, the comment is about player development, and how they improve as players. Though i must congratulate you on using "you're" instead of "your". Well done.
Half of this players you named developed themself away from Liverpool.Should we name players that great Liverpool destroyed over the years?The list is quite long.
@@irepWESTofLONDON And I want to congratulate you for being a racist.
@Liverpool FC the greatest club in the world. Why don't you go and "grow" a personality of your own? It's kind of pityful see someone in social media who goes by the name of a football club?
Even at Liverpool, Coutinho used to give away the ball very cheaply as well and that was my biggest fear when we were trying to get him.
Our midfielders don't give the ball away cheaply
Yes he did, as Liverpool fan I agree with you 100%. he lose the ball more than any player in Liverpool team. His act also liabilities for defense. Only issue raise that coutinho is old format player and Barcelona brought him for that. But now 2-3 years football is changed aggressively, now control is more important than dribble and spectaculars. So he is not good prospect as 2015. Without shear speed you can't beat teams like Liverpool/ManCity/PSG/Salsburg/Ajax etc. So coutinho is worthless vs this teams. So no big team willing to spend sum of money Barcelona asking. And Barcelona miss the trend, they miss judge the new format of football. So they spend this amount for a old format player. And his market value now near zero compare what they paid.
@@mujiburrahman8361 Is Messi a player who's successfully adapted the new format, or is he one of the last ones standing in the old-format camp?
@@reintaler6355 I mean he just won the ballon dor and he shouldn't even be dragged into this convo
He's gone through a generation of football and still stayed at top just like Ronaldo
Coutinho and Lallana played role of Robertson and Arnold back then. Klopp gave them freedom to give away the ball.
Reintaler Both at the same time. I’d say on the ball he adapted to the new format as much as possible. But defensively he is still a bit stuck back.
coutinho and firmino had great chemistry together.
Bobby has great chemistry with everybody tbf
Unfortunately it was a little bit too ducking late
No it was more his Chemistr with Salah that stood out despite not playing much football together.
Both are ihnos ,man
This is a fantastic video. As a Liverpool fan that always and still loves Phil as a player, I feel for him. I had no problem with him leaving, that was his dream move.
But he is a player who needs to be playing in a free 10 role. He simply doesn't have the discipline or physique to be an effective CM or LW. He truly is the perfect player for the free 10 role with his technique, movement and goal threat. In that sense, he reminds me of Ozil and Mata, who also were always at their best as the free 10. I hope he can find a club that allows him to play to his strengths. He can still be a key player for a top team, I have no doubt.
I remember when the day I heard coutinho left, I was so desperate, I thought we were going back to the rebuilding circle
I felt the same. Ain't gonna lie. But We sure turned out to be wrong, Mercifully...
When I saw him in Inter I thought he will be one of those players that’s great sometimes and average the rest, then he went to Liverpool where he proved me wrong and then once he was moving to Barcelona I said to myself I think I was right all along.
Even at Liverpool he was great sometimes, average the rest. His ability to pop out with the spectacular despite playing poorly really his that about his game.
That Elber quote sums it up for me concerning Couthinho.
I hope he recovers his confidence and form
He must feel like the biggest clown in world football rn
Jesse Lingard???
Bortomeu??
@@questa9370 the president of la liga is the biggest clown imo
@Kuromori Well it's not like Barca's done anything fantastic since he left so I wouldn't call him clown.
No thats Alexis Sanchez
i kinda feel like amove to tottenham would be nice for him. Filling in eriksens gap, roaming behind son and kane. And Mourinho giving him tht spark of confidence like the rest of the squad.
in my opinion at least
But i don’t think he would fit the style
@ROBERT DEAN Check out Ozil at RM or Deco at Porto
Oh God please not. He is a highly creative player not the straining type so to speak. Not that anyone is that.
@ROBERT DEAN he improved Ozil by moving him to RM, why can't he do same to coutinho.
It could be a shrewd move. Or Mourinho could crush what life is left in Him.
It'd be a pretty big gamble & I have doubts that it would bring out the best in Him. He needs a "Father Figure" of a Manager, rather than a Disciplinarian....
I’m a Bayern Fan, Coutinho wasn’t that great. He had maybe 2-3 good performances, and was alright... I guess. He wasn’t horrible, but worth £80M? Nope. Like you said, why buy Coutinho, when Bayern could get Kai Havertz for maybe £90-100M, who is way more consistent, younger, and could replace Müller when he gets older.
Great Video, Thanks Adrian!
Barcelona payed 140 millions for him and now they are so delusional, he wasn't worth anything close to 140 millions, and now they are trying to sell it just as overpriced as they brought it
Gerhard Smith Yep, if Barcelona would’ve paid £30M he still wouldn’t be a success. That’s how much Barça overpaid for Coutinho.
@@dan7259 Then why Barcelona so keen to sell him 80 mil bracket. Clearly his current state even not demand 30-40 mil. Looks like he run down Barcelona contract. Because Barcelona not get even 40 mil for him in current market. He is aging, ultimately he leave for nothing.
Also, it's Bayern of all clubs. The least trend-chasing big club on the transfer market, by a country mile
@@27scole Muahah...Keep dreaming
I was of the same sentiment that the manager shared with Coutinho after watching Owen then Torres leave to be passengers in successful teams. These guys could have been gods had they stayed. Just imagine Torres and Suarez upfront in their peak, maybe the wait would have been a little shorter.
In the end his sale was not in vein thankfully..
@Sam Actually, Torres and Benayoun bought Suarez and Carroll.
Suarez actually joined with the expectation of partnering Torres
Took a pay cut and gave up his number just to stay on and fight for minutes at Bayern. Yikes. 😬
hard to feel bad for someone trying to force their way out of club,
Don’t think he’s anywhere near bad as some have made out. His goal and assist record for Barca was decent for an opening season. Considering he had to adapt as well. A lot of politics at Barca. He should be starting in midfield he is easily their best midfielder
He was bad. I am a Barca fan and and watched most games. He is both physically and mentally weak, i believe. He had nothing to bring to the table. Best mid ? And how is he gonna start in the midfield ? He cant even keep posession of the ball, doesnt track back, is not physically strong to tackle and protect the ball and is not techinically brilliant like iniesta . So in a squad like Barcelona he was simply "just another player" .
I can't believe I just watched 12 mins of stuff that I already know. Speaks volumes of the presenter's abilities and showmanship!
As a Inter fan I were excited when he arrived at the club, you could see his excellence at times and that he could become a huge star.
Sadly Benitez couldn't find his role, maybe he would get reignited if he joined the club today with Conte.
Conte always make his players more motivated, hard working and confident.
Just a thought, loved your video man ♥️
He was a great player for us and I wish him all the best.
supposedly he helped liverpool by leaving Liverpool :v
It's a hilarious chain of events
Barca comeback from 4-0 against PSG > PSG buys Neymar > Barca panics and buys Coutinho > Liverpool buys VVD & Allison.
To bring things full circle, Liverpool beats Barca 4-0.
@@stevendchu Well actually they panic bought Dembele who was supposed to be replacement for Neymar but he suffered big injuries. Coutinho was supposed to replace Iniesta but him having good start as a lm but failing as a cm next position for him was lw (and since they had no winger)
No, they were just to do well without him too and so he was free to leave. Man that grammar is sweet
Liverpool could never have gotten to where They are without that Astronomical Sale. It's undeniable.
It's a bitter irony for the Lad, that the best thing that He ever did for Anfield was to leave it...
He should have listened to Klopp 🤦🏿♂️
Well it was good for liverpool
Fun fact: I've heard this being used by other football news before as well, "seleção" in Brazilian portuguese has the same meaning as team in English, we use seleção for every country's football team and not just the Brazilian.
Just stands out in the world of football I don't think Portugal use the same terminology, or simply aren't as bit a footballing nation as Brazil
@@bri1085 in Portugal we use seleção too
@@deadgambler879 Then I guess it's to do with Brazil's reputation.
Finally someone that actually thinks and processes tactics. This is so spot on. Coutinho was supposed to step in the inside left of Barcelona's three man midfield and comparing to Griezmann's current struggle is extremely well done.
Keep it up man. Facts facts and pure facts.
4:40 reminds me of something gerrard was told when he almost left for chelsea.
He should’ve listened to klopp
If he didn't win C.L. in 2005, he would leave LFC on that year.
@@HongKongMeOH Thats a big IF
But with Gerrard he was about to sign but then decided to talk to his family. In his book he asked his family what he should do and they commented "you have always been by Liverpools side and they have been by yours too... so why change that now". So he did a U-Turn
This is breaking my heart :( I was really exited about Coutinho coming to Bayern, although I hate loans (for non-youth players). But hearing about the 120M€ buy-option was a shock, because it was clear that Bayern would never pay that, even if he won us the triple by himself. A lose-lose situation: if he was a hit Barca would either want him back or insist on the 120M€, or if he was a flop Bayern wouldn't be interested in keeping him. From the beginning it felt like Bayern didn't want or at least didn't need him to succeed, since they had their eyes set on other players like Havertz already.
Cou's performances weren't what I dreamed of, but it is still a pleasure to watch a player with such skills and such elegance. And I wouldn't say that he can't decide games, he clearly did against Bremen.
Sure, if you only look at the result and the current table, it seems like no big deal, but at that time we had just lost twice in a row against Leverkusen and Gladbach (were 7th in the league, Bremen 14th and not on a relegation spot yet). We were down 0:1 at the end of the first half. So this could have been quite the upset, as we saw in the second game against Bremen that they can hold up against Bayern and stop them from scoring. With three losses back to back, Bayern might have lost the last two games of the Hinrunde aswell, the Freiburg game was a last minute win already and with the added pressure... who knows if that would have happened.
But instead, Coutinho turned the game around with one goal and one assist right before halftime, which must have destroyed any hopes Bremen had, and then it was a gala performance in the second half. It was the starting point of the undefeated run that is still going to this day. Quite a pivotal game this season ;-)
And it is not like he was bad against the better opponents (Top5 of Bundesliga + Spurs/Chelsea in CL), he just never got the chance to acutally play against them (at least not as a starter) except for Spurs and in those games he was good (although the second one was more of a friendly). Even under Kovac, who played him a lot, he didn't start against Leipzig because he had been travelling to play for Brazil in the international break. I feel like he didn't quite get the chance he needed to prove himself on the higher level. Every good performance was "just because of a weak opponent".
In theory Flick would be an ideal coach for him as he has been compared to Heynckes a lot when it comes to his people skills. And the Bayern fans are usually very kind to players (obviously not the majority of fans on youtube or twitter, but that is the case for every club, I guess. A lot of hate there). The club prides itself on its family atmosphere. It doesn't get much better than that for a player without much confidence, at least at a top club, where a high amount of pressure is always there due to the high competition between players.
He didn't play after the Corona break yet due to injury, but will be back in the squad tomorrow, and I am very curious to see how he does without spectators. It might be good for him to not have this added pressure. Maybe he will shine in the Champions League in August. I will not give up hope until it is really over :(
Grade: a B-
Yes We love our players. But I can see him not leaving Bayern. Who knows.
I am pretty sure Bayern just got him to satisfy the media.
I was under the impression that He was brought in to "Bolster the Squad", rather than be a "Starting 11" Player.
Big Clubs like Bayern never take in Loaners & rush Them into the Team. He was only ever there purely to "Add Depth".
He has "Fulfilled that Contract" & now it is time for Him to move on....
In hindsight, I don´t see a place for him in the current Liverpool, so it worked for the better. Having to fit a star in a scheme that basically doesn't use his position is a headache for managers, just watch Griezmann in Barcelona this year.
Coutinho has the same problem at Bayern, our CAM needs to be much more involved in the combination play than in finishing unless you're a genius at being in the right place like Muller, so a player likes Coutinho that tends to dribble a lot and shot before touching the ball kind of hogs the ball too much. Same problem with James before him. Also, defend, defend, defend. The only guy allowed to not run behind the ball is Robert, and that´s because he is the striker. Lazy defenders pay it dearly in Bundesliga
What a great video. In my opinion, probably one of the best you've made so far🤙
This aged very poorly.
I blame Barca for this because if they didn't approach P.C, then there really wasnt any other club willing to pay the 9 figure fee except for maybe PSG.
He wasn't replacing anyone at Barca nor was he going to continue his performances from the season prior at Liverpool, as his role collided with that of Leo and put Barca in a problematic situation with 2 players now having less defensive duties than others around.
It honestly was a "shoot first and aim later" type of situation, now both Barca and P.C look as stupid as one another, well especially Barca as they went on to spend yet another 9 figures on A.G who again really wasn't needed.
Adrain quality video as always bro, hope all is good with you, your family and friends. 💪✌
Could you please consider a video about the drastic change of Barca, a team who stuck firmly with there own philosophy of football, producing a multitude of absolutely class players and also a class manager in Pep to recently becoming a lavish spending club who heavily rely upon the efforts of one specific lad for inspiration. They have lost their identity and I ll go as far to say, their soul in the process, their just not the same team anymore.
Anyways take care buddy ✌
Underrated comment💯
I can answer the barca question for you.And the reason P.C and A.G's careers are ruined.
Valverde
There is a Rabona Video about exactly that. I watched it just before this one...
7:34 well how can you play better than “decent” in a team where they have you on bench and barely put him to play. Besides the choices he made, this man is still a top level player.
I like him as a liverpool fan and genuinely would have loved to see him flourish like Suarez but just wasnt to be I guess
Was Coutinho at Inter ever really expected to be as good as he became at Liverpool? I don't think so. Buying him was a calculated risk. I think he surprised everyone with how well he performed at Liverpool and it's difficult for any player, as we've seen with Griezmann and Dembele, to meet expectations at Barca, an iconic club.
Rabona TV has never stopped improving on his content! I really love to see RUclipsrs who continue putting in the time and effort into creating awesome stuff, consistently. Keep up!
Everything happens for a reason, including his departure. I was sad to see him leave, but without the money raised we wouldn't have gotten the funds to get Van Dijk and Alisson.
Can't help but feel sorry for him. He did what he thought was best and was going for his childhood dream team.
Adrian you should make a video analyzing how jurgen klopp built liverpool back up, highlighting how he used data analytics and throw ins to improve their goal tally and bring in the perfect players
He already did that
Justin Wagenaar he did?
Bilal Mekni yeah ruclips.net/video/CKE3lGtPB1g/видео.html
Anyone here after his 2 goals against barca in 8-2 drubbing
Yeah, Adrian mentioned that Coutinho performs well against crappy teams, or when the game has already been decided.
I feel his decline stared from the 2018/2019 season....
He was amazing for Barca for the initial half season of his transfer.
Great video bro and thanks for the info
One of my favorite players. Hope he finds a team that’s a good fit for him so we can see the best of him again, I personally want to see him at Inter once more or maybe even PSG.
I'd argue that since say 2012, the only players Barca have bought that have been a success are Neymar and Suarez.
Don't forget Ter Stegen
Good video. It just shows again what great manager Klopp is giving a player like Coutinho confidence and make him look the best way how he did with so many players before.
Adrian, i've been wondering for a while what's the music you use in your videos? Where can I find a full version? Thanks
Who’s waching this after Liverpool being first European champions and now English champions without Continho. Sorry for him coz as LFC fun I remember how sad I was in his departure. However having a good management and and a great coach, we have got the replacement the club needed.
He was scammed by neymar saying to play together with him at barca and he make up fake injury desperately to get release from liverpool...looks like he more chasing a fame & money than become a legend at liverpool...
Neymar is garbage human being I feel like purposely sabotages players to him look better
@@Comando729 Read your comment again and wake up
Hmmmm what have Coutinho and Fernando Torres got in common? The grass isn’t always greener.
Well, Torres has UCL,UEL and FA cup on his grass 😉
What separates them both : Mentality.
He had miserable early days with Chelsea then he scored in 1 out of 2 European Finals with them. He had horrible horrible time with Milan then he won 1 out 2 European Finals and still scored important goal for Atleti to get into the UCL Final.
torres decline because of injury
Torres is also still loved by liverpool fans... well most of us... ill always have fond memories of torres in a red shirt..... coutinho not so mich
@@chinmaywagh1135 He did, but that's not the sweetest memory for him. He told himself that his time at LFC is best memory he had in English football. And same goes for Coutinho, he win La Liga, Bundes-liga also. But issue is they are not get any recognition in the club nor adored by club fans, there performance not well enough to do so. Similarly Torres hadn't get what he deserved from Chelsea or fans, If you really think he win trophies. That's the point.
People do not remember that Torres win the trophies for Chelsea or Cotiniho did for Barca or Bayern. Their presence is very very minimal in credit book. Even now we Liverpool fans adored Torres more than any Chelsea fan ever did. Even he win nothing (Trophies) for us, but good memories.
I love U Adrian... Thank you 4 this bro 🤝🏾
glad you mentioned how Coutinhos stats at Bayern came to be, mostly in high margin wins and/or against bottom teams,
And then he won ucl Bundesliga on loan in other club lol... it proves better manager wins matches
Phil Coutinho is one of my favourite all time players when he's on form. Absolute magic. But at Liverpool he was the main man who we looked to when we were struggling, and he'd take the game by the scruff of the neck. Even though Neymar is a bigger player for Brazil, Coutinho plays with that same level of importance for his country. However, at Barcelona, he clearly wasn't the main man, with Barcelona already having Messi/Suarez, and and having brought in Dembele for a similar amount of money a few months prior. At Bayern, Lewandowski/Muller/Gnabry are their main players, so he isn't the one they go to when things are tough. If the money aspect wasn't an issue, I'd love him back at Liverpool, as I think he's the one type of player we lack in the team - a real creative force from behind the front three. But I can't see how he'd play most games any more. I still think he'd be a great player for most clubs around Europe, but he'd be a bit-part player at the top clubs, and the clubs just below won't be able to afford him, so he's in a sticky situation. His best bet for reviving his career is to try and prove himself again when he returns to Barca, and try to rediscover his form there.
Yup. How often have We seen it?
"A Star Rises" & is expected to become the next "Big Thing" & as soon as They ain't the "centre of attention", They begin to crumble. They lack the ability to adapt. They are just unable to be a "Team" Player.
That's Coutinho. It's unfortunate. He can do it for His Country, but is unable to fit into the required Level of Discipline Demanded at the Richest Clubs in Europe, whom are the only ones that can now afford Him.
I can see Him spending a lot of time on the Bench until His Price comes down, unless some Ultra-rich Benefactor comes along & buys a Club out of the blue & decides to give Him one last dash...
Damn, very interesting video man!
You hit the nail right on the head there lad. Great video
I wish under Setien after his loan expires, He would play similiar as he did or better
Nah, wont happen as long barca still have messi
Hey yo what's up. How are you man?
As a chelsea fan the Torres comment makes me want you to do a video on hm. this was top quality
Great analyzes man! You've nailed literally every aspect of Coutinho's decline!
Therefore, I'd only say that the only coach (currently) who can do that for Coutinho (inspired him, give him the much needed confidence and put him in his natural role) is probably Rino Gattuso! He's definitely the kind of a aoch who boosts positive confidence into his players, and it'd be great to see how Napoli will do under him in the first full season with Rino (so far, it's obvious that their only side where they must improve is the realisation of goals, or more precisely, converting their chances - as it was best demonstrated in Barcelona game, where they hold the position, created numerous clear chances, outplayed Barca in many aspects, but didn't convert).
Sadly for Coutinho, there's no chance Napoli would spend 80 million for him, when they just spend that money for Victor Osimeh, who's most likely gonna be the future model for a top striker! Their next 50-100 million will be distributed on a few more positions (two more, most likely).
So, I really can't see a team that will spill that much money for Coutinho and bring him back to his Liverpool glory!
You talked about Griezmann. Can you please do a video on why you think he's not performing at Barcelona ? PLEASE
a pure waste of time. why don't you do it?
@dialemini gonzaki Come on, that one is even more obvious -_-
1 coutinho ego n barca expectation = 1 allison + 1 vandijk = 1 epl. 1 ucl. 🤔🤔🤔
What a dream deal..
Thanks to m edward. Klopp n team 🤗🤗😆😆
Cloud #9 deal
1 coutinho EXIT = 2 la Liga +1 Copa del Rey +1 bundesliga+1 Copa America+1 dfb pokal+1 second favourite for UCL.after he left you for trophies and not individual titles....and if he would have not been sold no Alis and no van dijk therefore no UCL no EPL
WHAT A DREAM DEAL!!!THANKS LOSERPOOL....HAHAH BURN
I always find it weird when people say that someone lacks confidence, even though you don’t know them personally
Really insightful video
Barcelona: people know me for destroying talents!
Lol only coutinho,and griezman ??
How about mu?chelsea?madrid?
Yeah , Like pedri de jong and Griezman who are thriving right now
@@HashimyHuseini exactly
Now he just scored 2 goals and got 1 assist in less than 20 minutes against his previous club ha
At his mother club
coherent and concise - chapeau
In my opinion he remains a very good player. His season at Bayern has been fine. The first manager used to have faith in him . He was amazed by the range of talents he displayed during training sessions. Earlier in his Germany campaign he was right on the path to get back to his best level. Unfortunately in the middle of the season his supportive manager was sacked due to relatively bad performance of his team side in the bundesliga. His successor has done him any favor . He indeed put Muller over him for no reason apparently maybe because of his German origins. That being said ,I wish him the best of luck. He is a very good dude for real.
Aged just like milk...
Left for a UCL
And got a treble
he got carried in that Bayern team.
When you are too greedy,that what happen in life, thank you for virgil and alisson becker😂😂😂
Not gonna lie, these are among the best football video essays ever on RUclips. Keep it up 👏🏾
Coutinho was quite outstanding in his first season in Barcelona playing in that CAM role. He started having problems when Valverde switched him to the left as LW. The issue is Valverde is a worser coach than Coutinho is a bad player.
"Alisson, Van Dijk and Fabinho comming thanks to Coutinho CASH" is biggest myth...
Barcelona still owes Liverpool like 40m from this transfer. What a scummy club...in debts like hell....and that's where they are heading for their behaviour...Karma Barca :)
Owen did the same glory hunter greedy
Brilliant video 👍👍
Part of the problem is that it's very difficult to fit a player like Coutinho into a modern system. He isn't a good enough goal scorer to be a striker, he isn't dynamic enough to be a winger and he can easily become a defensive liability in midfield. I believe he would have been an absolute superstar 20-30 years ago but few teams these days have a place for the free-roaming virtuoso in attacking midfield. Players like James, Isco and Özil have struggled for similar reasons in recent years.
The biggest mistake he has ever done
Okay wow last time I was this fast United won the pl
Thank you. Well done.
I remember noticing that he had a tendency to go missing in the big games. (Like the 2016 final and several others).
As He's been doing at Munchen, by the looks of things...
Thank you for leaving coutinio. U made us champions 😂😂
And now hes a champion 🤪
Yeah thw guy never saw that coming ha haa
Who's here after Coutinho scored twice for Bayern against barca 😆
I’m here after he won the treble
Those type of drifting AMC no 10s are finding it hard to fit into the modern tactics. James, Ozil etc.
Excellent summary of the Coutinho history and terrific insight into his current predicament. A+
