Philippe Coutinho is potentially one of the most skilful and exciting players in the Premier League – but his form has been iffy at best of late.
With Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool struggling to find the net, they could sorely do with the Brazilian youngster rediscovering his best form.
His current funk has certainly not gone unnoticed by the club’s support, who are growing increasing concerned by his wayward performances…
All our creativity comes from Coutinho, & when he's off form there's no-one else stepping up. Another thing that needs addressing

Many are getting sick of the player’s unfailing propensity to shoot at every opportunity…

What does coutinho do these days other than just try to shoot from 30 yards? @lfc

But the general sense is that the player – rightly or wrongly – simply doesn’t trust his teammates…

Coutinho's rash shooting shows a lack of trust in his teammates. Wouldn't do the same at City or Barca #lfc

Does Coutinho not trust his team mates? He is just so predictable.

With that change with time? Is he right to shoot with the options available? Klopp certainly needs to address the problem to get the best out a potentially world-class player.
