Most Liverpool fans are eternally grateful to Coutinho for leaving for such a hefty transfer fee. That dosh paved the way for Van Dijk and Alisson. The rest is history.

[@FieldIcons]

Ultimately Liverpool would not have won the premier league or champions league without his departure

[@stuartupton2847]

It wasn't a mistake, he was warned about leaving but, ignored those warnings

[@stanettiels7367]

Yes. I still miss him though. Such a good player. Why would a player like Coutinho, a confidence player, leave a club like Liverpool - where the fans are really supportive, patient and will stick with you if you’re struggling - to join Barcelona, where they will turn on you if you’re not on it every minute of every game?

Hi Marcus, it’s true. Do you think Coutinho regrets his move to Barcelona?

[@marcusmaher-triskellionfil5158]

@@FieldIcons Only when he retires will it hit him, the money would have cushioned any guilt but he knows deep down his move to Barcelona (where I currently live) was really the beginning of the end as it turned out. He had 4 top years at Liverpool amd maybe that was his peak, he certainly never showed anything of it at Barca, then again a certain Messi dominated the landscape at that time.

[@kperez151]

He was the best that wasn’t the best. He chased his dream and it was a nightmare. I feel for this guy as a Liverpool fan

Very nice way to put it! In the EPL, when you are playing well, the media makes you believe that you are the best!

[@FieldIcons]

I agree, but sometimes you have to take a leap of faith

[@ivrishcon-abarth38]

Giving Coutinho that 5-year deal was one of the best moves Liverpool have ever made! It made Arcelona hurt in the wallet. Anyway, at the time, Coutinho fit perfectly to Liverpool and Klopp -style. Whilst I´m very happy for the transfer, it would be interesting to see what kind of player he would´ve become in an alternative universe where he´d stayed (wanted to stay, really) with Liverpool.

[@Free2BHuman]

His Liverpool spell such joy & beauty💯 should've won title in one of the seasons

[@FieldIcons]

Which season do you think they came closest ?

[@Youtubechannel-po8cz]

So many South American players think Madrid or Barca is the Holy Grail, but it can be a grave yard for their careers.

[@FieldIcons]

I agree; but don’t you think turning down Real or Barca is easier said than done? Especially as a lot of people only dream of playing for those clubs growing up

[@Youtubechannel-po8cz]

@@FieldIcons I agree, but we’ve seen so many gifted players make the jump and their careers nose-dived.

[@NkhomaD]

Styles of play, formations used, and relationships with teammates and coaches all play significant roles in the making of a player. Messi was a god in the Barcelona system but just another player in the Argentina setup. Salah was an EPL flop with Chelsea, but is a legend at Liverpool. Coutinho moved to a system and style that KILLED his career.

[@FieldIcons]

Very well said !

[@GlobalWave1]

Well I wouldn’t say Messi was just another player at Argentina. I’d say he was more or less just another player at PSG.

[@marimatsumoto372]

I was very devastated when he left. I have never seen a player who is not only talent but he had a technique something so special. Who can forget the long shot against Arsenal. Because of his transfer fee, Liverpool was able to buy 2 very great goalkeeper and a defender which I am very happy with. But I still miss him, along with Mane, Origi and, Farminho. Good old exciting days….

[@wiseonwords]

@focus2184 - I'm inclined to forgive Philippe Coutinho. He was a young, insecure boy, and Barcelona put all sorts of pressure on him to force the move from Liverpool. They truly gaslighted him into believing that he HAD to move or otherwise forever regret his missed opportunity. How Barcelona misled Coutinho was truly unforgivable!

[@FieldIcons]

Understandable, at the end of the day Liverpool may not have won it all if he stayed.

[@davedoesyt]

This edit is absolutely awful. Random shots of Southampton training, shots of random youth Brazilian footballers that aren’t Coutinho, the teams not matching what the narrator is talking about, the same clip repeated over and over. Awful awful edit

Honestly, I forgot how much I remember loving the Coutinho Era LFC. We won fuck all, but Surez, Sturrige, Llalana, plus Daniel Agger was still there for a bit I think. We signed Rickie fricken Lambert at one point. Dude was boss for us. It was a wild ride, and yes his departure helped Liverpool become a dominant force again. I still call any curler from the top left of the box a Coutinho Special

[@FieldIcons]

Hi Stuart, this comment had me rolling back the years. Coutinho’s departure was definitely a big help when you look at all that Klopp won with the new signings. I find it interesting how at the time of his departure, all Liverpool fans felt as though the club was doomed for more years of failure, only for the club to have the best 9 years in its history !

[@LOGOS422]

Coutinho was magic at times at Liverpool. He was the creative spark of the team and everybody trusted him. It was a terrible mistake to leave. He would have been an Anfield legend and won all the big trophies. At Barca and Bayern, he won medals as a bit part player.

[@FieldIcons]

You have a good point, do you think he looks back and wishes he didn’t make the move?

[@juniorputrafajar872]

Klopp was right again, he told him he would be just another player in Barca. But some things can only be experienced. There's also an interesting twist to Coutinho story in that he finally win a league and UCL albeit in loan with Bayern. But really I'm also curious what can be if he didn't leave Liverpool.

[@FieldIcons]

Hi Junior, great comment. I think him winning the UCL with Bayern would definitely have made up for it, do you think he would have been sad to miss out on winning a premier league title?

[@juniorputrafajar872]

@@FieldIcons Idk, but definitely he had some regrets leaving. And as much as what he achieved with Bayern, there would be different feeling when doing it as starter. But who can tell it would be this way. I also thought he would be a hit for Barca, that Liverpool would be greatly weakened by his departure. Now ofc we know it's the exact opposite. I'd honestly would love to hear from the man himself what he thought about hia career.

[@joeexotic5831]

Klopp told him, "Stay, and they will build you a statue, you will be a God, go to barca and you will be just another player." The rest is history. Klopp won everything, and his statue is on its way. Sadly, Coutinhos will never be built. What a player he was, but the grass isn't always greener 😂

[@FieldIcons]

Hi Joe, it is true; the grass isn’t always greener. Would you have stayed or taken the chance to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world…

[@joeexotic5831]

@FieldIcons At the time I would have recognised klopps genuis I'd like to think. I get your point, at the time barca was a successful club as well as a giant. Now they are a sleeping giant. Where as Liverpool have been to 3 out of the last 7 CL finals and won the league and multiple cups. I reckon lots of other players had the chance to leave, but stayed because they recognised klopps genius and what he would do. Simple facts are Liverpool have achieved so much more than barca from then to now. So I get your point. But actually if you think about it, klopp was right, barca played coutinho out of position and ruined his prime years because they had messi. Only one player is allowed the free role and not to track back, and that was messi. What did coutinho think was going to happen, he was never going to take messis place. So he was going to one of the biggest clubs in the world to sit on the bench or play out of position and be asked to run back and tackle etc. Where as at liverpool he would have started every game. He should have been smart enough to work this out IMO

[@toulouztall]

Coutinho worst decision is moving to fc Barcelona

[@FieldIcons]

Where do you think he should have gone?

[@DerekTJ]

He was a great player for Liverpool. His head was turned, and that was that. I hold no grudge against him. Players will leave Liverpool in the future too, and you can't hold onto that much hate. Mascherano and Suarez both left for Barcelona but have the backing, mostly. It's just a normal football story.

[@FieldIcons]

Hi Derek, you have a great point. And as a player it must not be easy to turn it down when Barcelona come knocking

[@johnakimana1134]

Also ruined Barca as a club. Their madness spending left their club penless.

[@FieldIcons]

Hi John, I agree. It is probably the reason why they are where they are

[@demonicsquid7217]

Coutinho was just a symptom of a bigger malaise, the decisions from the top are the real problem.

[@talon3995]

As a Liverpool supporter I was gutted he left. But having taken the time to process everything, I realised we owe him a lot. Everyone has a dream, a wish, a fantasy etc! Most South American footballers want to play in Spain, predominantly in Madrid and Barcelona. Luis Suarez and Coutinho never hid the fact they wanted to play for Barcelona. I would have loved to have seen both of them stay at Liverpool, but they had their own dreams to fulfil. Therefore who are we to deny them the same freedom to chase after their goals?. Coutinho leaving meant we could sign the backbone of the team that won 8 trophies! I'm saddened that he never managed to fulfil his dream move like Suarez has done years earlier.

And I actually think there's an 'Anfield Curse' to these things. Check,any player that leaves anfield without fans' blessings rarely do well subsequently. Their best days often remain at Liverpool. Same with Torres.

[@joeannafist3792]

his role as a football player has never fallen. even he has won a lot of cup n trophies. but what is a problem for him is, making the decision to leave LFC. wherever he went, he never felt happy. it's more of a sense of emptiness. Thats the biggest mistake he does while others is very happy to play with Liverpool.
