The best thing about Liverpool FC in the last two to three months has been Phil Coutinho, and there is no active topic on him. Please mods, let this be.
The guy is an awesome talent, even better once you review some of his passes which didn't lead to a goal. He has the kind of vision at times, which is not just uncommon, but also rare. Some of the low dinked balls were simply stunning. At times, I felt the runners didn't have a clue how the ball would reach them, and hence didn't make a real effort, and yet the ball was slid through for someone to just tap it in past the keeper.
I am already looking forward to his play next season. He can only get better, which is brilliant. I always knew he was good, but somehow, in the premier league, with the added tempo, his game just sparkles through. The runs are faster, purposeful. Single-minded, almost numb defenders are there for the taking, and Coutinho made some of them look real slow. I still can't stop giggling, when I remember Walker's face when Coutinho, dragged a high ball out of air, held himself against Walker's wrestling, then did the Samba backheel to an oncoming Enrique. That was priceless.
Anymore such moments, from the Amazing Coutinho's short spell here, please add.
