In 2014 Coutinho had come in at 78' of Liverpool's match against Crystal Palace. The Reds were 3-0 ahead in the score and in the title hunt, but within 1' from entering in the Palace cut the score. By the end he had managed to tie the score at 3-3. All dreams shattered.Although that collapse had nothing to do with the Brazilian, he still seems trying to atone. The stunning appearance at 4-2 on the Palace at Selhurst Park brings alive again the dream of the Premier League champion. Liverpool had 20 points in the first 10 games of the 2013-14 season. This time has 23.
In that season Coutinho was amazing alongside Suarez and Staritz, with Firminio being the best supporter of the year. First he put his hand in the first three goals, while the Brazilian scored the fourth. Coutinho has already reached 6 assists in the league performance, only demonstrated by De Broine.
"He is a good player," will say Klopp with a broad smile. When pressed to say something more about the Brazilian, just smiled again and said: "very good player!". The Coutinho created four chances and made 23 passes in the third attack, more than any other player. He had four shots on hearth, same like Firminio.
Liverpool has at the back still enormous problems, so their cooperation is very important. All understand that you need to score a lot of goals in order to find the red at the top.
The presence of Alberto Moreno in the Liverpool lineup was a surprise. The last time the Spaniard was basic had come to the premiere with Arsenal. In the end, it was no coincidence that his return even brought a game full of goals. Moreno, however, helped a lot in attack, especially in the first half, providing support to Coutinho, who fed 10 times.
Coutinho and Firminio offer many defenses in Klopp's system. The first made eight tackles, with 13 out of a total of 26 tackles red had at half court of the attack. The two of them seem ideal for the "gegenpressing".
