Fallen Stars: How ONE MISTAKE Ruined Philippe Countinho's Career Forever! 

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

As peak as it sounds its true 😂

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

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?

@@FieldIcons LFC would’ve won’t it another way under Klopp

I agree Nonna, you think of where Mane, and Wijnaldum ended up.

Suarez?

@@ianworley8169 Suarez wasn't sold my Jurgen Klopp. If he played under Klopp, I'm sure he would've had another year at Liverpool.

Who do you miss more, Bobby or Sadio?

@@FieldIconsBobby

Bobby

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

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

Which season do you think they came closest ?

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

@@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.

Very well said !

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.

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….

What makes you think that?

@@FieldIcons because it’s evident. Look at those who have left in that time frame and what they’ve gone on to do…

@@ThrottleBody it’s true, I think Mane was sad to see, as he is still a great player

@@FieldIcons Mane, Wijnaldum, Emre Can, Sakho, to name a few. Never reached the heights they did at Liverpool and were not adored as much either. The Liverpool fans are good and loyal to players - very rarely turning on them. It seems like a good environment to play in. I remember Crouch saying that even though he didn’t score in his first forty plus appearances, (if I remember correctly) the fans never turned on him. They supported him throughout.

@@stanettiels7367 emre can is doing pretty good as captain for Dortmund plus minamino is doing ecxeptional as well with 21 goal constributions in 42 games ik its only 2 players but still

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

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

If he stayed, do you think Liverpool would have still won a champions league and premier league ?

@@FieldIcons yes Sir , that is what I said , he could’ve been ballon d’or if he stayed . What a waste.

We decided to sell him when Barca offered £150 million-

@@RaidersDnB well then , now you’ve got Munez who hits the post 4 times a week for half the that price.

@@muhashevliw8111 we bought van dijk and Allison with that money … and then got won the champions league (after being in two finals in a row)

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…

@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

It's better that you allow players to leave - can't keep them hostage through kindness.

@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!

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

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 !

Which injuries did he fake?

​​@@FieldIcons knee I think, which was in summer

He sure did force himself out, good riddance.

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

Hi Salem, I really appreciate your feedback. Is there any specific content you would like to see?

@@FieldIcons unknown facts about sports men, any sport nothing specific. Thank you 🙏

Where do you think he should have gone?

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

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?

@@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.

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

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

Hi David, well said. Imagine his goal at the end of the season at Villa won it for Liverpool

Which part?

The club jersey more often than not didn't match Coutinho's time with the team bein spoken about

@@mrwhiteyo8934 thank you for your feedback, we will work on this in the future

Do you think this was the main reason for his downfall?

You have a point. But I guess he would have never known what would happen when he finally reached Barcelona

He may financially happy, but do you think he wishes things went differently?

I'm glad you enjoyed the video

Hi Shai, thank you for your feedback. Any other comments?

Do you think another club would have been better for him?

@@FieldIcons depending on the club. If he move to barcelona and real madrid at that time is same like digging his own grave. If he want trophy then bayern is best choice because at that time bayern is playing as one team not one player domination For me, he too overestimated his ability to want compete with messi. When come to barcelona with messi in his prime then it means you will become messi servant. Look what happen to neymar, the prince who never can become a king

Who else would you suggest ?

Song ?

Hleb

Although he didn’t win a premier league…

What do you mean by AI?

@@footbalfocus AI, Allen Iverson. Basketball legend from early 00's 😆

@@footbalfocus The script is being narrated by A I

Unfortunately, you may be right

Potentially the move to Barcelona…

I think you, as an Arsenal fan suddenly think your team is a step up from Liverpool. Deluded. Liverpool have CL and PL winning credibility in the last decade and Klopp is a better manager than Arteta. Klopp makes world class players unless you've forgotten.

Lol. What r u smokin?

Not sure what football you watched tbh

You need to stick to watching netball…

inter is well known club in europe mate its not some galatasaray or wolfberg

Found the manc😂

Nah he was really magician of football back then. Joy to watched and full of skill.

Hi Paul, don't you think Virgil had a bigger impact than Coutinho

oh don't talk so bloody stupid, Allison and vvd literally won us the premier league 😂 my god what a stupid comment

Riiiight 😅

You good Bro?

Hi Tony, do you think if he had more opportunity to play things might’ve been different?

@@FieldIcons If 10 is his best position and he hardly ever plays there then he cannot be at his best.He needs to play at 10 to give his best..
