Yep doesn't score the important goals does he?
Some strike tonight.
As perfect as his winner against City last year.

Every time I hear a good player signs a new contract all i think is release clause.
He's scored against 10-man Bolton and a deflected goal against Queens Park Rangers this season Dreamy.
Honestly Ryan. You're being complete arsehole about Coutinho. How you have the temerity to be such a villain about your expectations of him is just plain weird. Especially when juxtaposed with your ejaculations about Joe Allen who cost us more money and isn't worth a flying fuck to us right now.
Admit when you're fucking wrong and move on. You'll be a better dad for it too.
I was responding to that moron’s claim that he scores important goals. It’s not my fault he hasn’t.
An important goal would have been away to United when we were getting dicked, or when it counted against Basel, or last week when he was one on one with Courtois.
But he didn’t. He’s scored against Queens Park Rangers and Bolton. It’s not a criticism, it’s a fact. Never in 2 years with us has he scored what I’d call an important goal anyway.Doesn’t mean he won’t, he just hasn’t.
And for the fucking umpteenth time; I rate Coutinho. A lot. He’s a wonderful talent. But he’s also deeply frustrating to me, because his end product is almost negligible, and he gives the ball away far too much. I’m capable of not thinking The Lying Rag shines out his arse, and that there’s room for significant improvement. Doesn’t mean I don’t think he’s got serious potential.
A winning goal in stoppage time against a side we took 176 mins to score against. In fact a a decent percentage of his goals have been match winners no?
I find if even weirder that he questions him losing the ball when he licked Luis Garcias proverbial ball sack for 18 months who was the most infuriating player ever when it came to losing the ball
How about at home to the best side in the league when your team has been pegged back to 2-2 and look like crumbling in a must win game?? You clown.
And it was a strike most players wouldn't have a chance of pulling off to boot.
I think he meant to say that Coutinho only scores important goals.
I agree in the main part with Ryan.
But this last few months definately seems to see a corner turned and he is looking our best player most games now.
His end product has been lacking but more frustratingly his ability to control the tempo of a game like the best ACM's in the world do (Silva, Modric, Hazard etc) has just NOT been there. He has almost looked to be trying too hard in the past, forcing impossible balls, shooting on sight or trying to take on too many players Benayoun style.
However he looks to finally be growing into a leader of a team, he seems to be ironing out the creases and making those great decisions. At this moment in time he is playing every bit as well as Silva or even Hazard (although both are much better in front of goal) but the GREATS do it week in week out season long. We need to see this purple patch become the norm before he starts getting elevated to the level of proven winners.
I have great hope but I think all these posts questioning Ryans stance are a bit mad when he and I both have said Coutinho is ALMOST the best player in the world.
Im more optimistic than ever that he might become that one day.
Oh and watching him glide past defenders is an absolute thing of beauty, he runs aswell with the ball as anyone in the game. Now he just needs to consistently deliver when he gets to the end of that run.

Was he shite, he took the piss for most of the game, the end ball isn't always there but he's the only player constantly proving a menace to the opposition.
Like I say, I love Coutinho and Lallana, but making the above type of comment after what was a largely very good performance, topped by a wonderful goal, makes your recent assertion that you would "have Lallana ahead of him every day of the week", look really stupid.
"Fucking horrific". What does that make Lallana's performance then? You're being deliberately over the top and critical of him, week in, week out. Doing so while ignoring fairly below par outings by Lallana is pretty biased, ridiculous really. He's a hugely talented player who it seems isn't putting in anything other than "horrific performances" with you. I notice you didn't come back to the stats that were posted about their respective goals/assists record, in response to your "Lallana scores & sets up goals, while Coutinho just evades people on the halfway line" comment.
Press have span some comments about rodgers on him into 'rodgers says coutinho is the new suarez'. Errr no he didn't. Wankers.
I could never get on with Luis Garcia, never liked him, he fucking infuriated me, brilliant 5% of the time, bollocks for 95%. For me, Coutinho as of late is like the upgraded version of him. Garcia was permanently giving the ball or making stupid runs and losing the ball, but coutinho lately keeps the ball well, and most of his passes make the mark or are killer balls that just marginally get nabbed. If he could only sort that shooting out, and hit them like last night most of the time.

Anyone have video of his flicks and tricks from the game yesterday? Especially the bit where he flipped it up, over, and around the two midfielders to get free.
Ha! That one was pretty sweet. Glad someone mentioned it.
Oh, look what I found. Lousy colour though.
That clip is a perfect example of Coutinho though. He did fuck all with the ball once he got near the box
