I think Stevie G is right in that you don’t lose talent, some players just need to be loved for them to feel they can express themselves
Coutinho is a terribly shy lad by all accounts but he became settled at Liverpool and was loved by all and look what we saw, he was world class no doubt about that.
since moving away it just doesn’t look like he’s been settled enough not loved enough hence imo why he hasn’t looked a shadow of the player he was at Liverpool.
He’s no teamed up with a former teammate in Gerrard who is quite clearly fond of Coutinho, and he’s moved to a team where he’s the big name. I think it’s perfect for him, it’s an environment where he can be loved and finally express himself again and considering he’s still only 29….I say only but it’s far from over the hill, I think we’ll see a different player to the one that’s been at Barca and Bayern….his quality will return and if that happens it’ll be a huge coup for Villa.
