Liverpool discover MARVELLOUS 16-year-old Coutinho regen | OneFootball

Philippe Coutinho leaving Liverpool has long been seen as one of the biggest ‘what if’s?’ in the club’s history.

Liverpool’s ongoing success since Coutinho left to join Barcelona in the 2017-18 season has been the club’s longest period of dominance since the 1980s.

The legendary front three of Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino will forever be given credit for that time period, but for half a season they were a new ‘Fab Four’ hoping to light up the league in a way that hadn’t been seen on Merseyside for a long time.

Liverpool fans will, of course, recall Coutinho’s ability to find the back of the net from outrageous range. His technique of whipping the ball resulted in screamers that still find their way into ‘Best Premier League Goals Ever’ compilations.

One of the more underrated of Coutinho’s goals was against West Ham in the FA Cup in February 2016. Down 1-0, the Brazilian stunned Upton Park by rolling a free kick just outside the box underneath the wall to equalise.
