I agree. SG knows quality when he sees it, and is excited about playing with top players. His comments on Coutinho are very encouraging.

Yep, he also shrugged Ben Arfa off the ball with ease for Sturridge's second, after he himself had initially lost posession. Henderson's workrate yesterday was phenomenal too.
Yup
This made me LOL in real life. Gold star to you.
I'm gonna say no, as I think he'll leave us in 2 seasons. But we'll see
Nah, I don't think we could possibly count on him to dig us out of holes the way Gerrard has done on countless occasions, and by that I don't just mean goals and assists, but other stuff like putting in the crunchiest (and fair) tackle imaginable to lift team spirit or slow down the opponents.
In terms of purely attacking sense, he has the potential to get beyond Gerrard.
Still a little worried as really promising players at his age sometimes don't make it at all. Aimar a prime example.
The one thing I remember reading about him is that he's much like Kaka in that he comes from a good home, and settled down with a girl quick. I think if we provide what he wants competition wise, he'll stay for a while ... We've given him a chance that was missing at Inter.
yeah probably agree with this, sterling showed some great promise at the start of the season but he needs to get a bit better in the final third.
Coutinho is a beast, just hope we arnt getting ahead of ourselves with the praise
The very very good thing about Suarez being banned is that Coutinho will now get on the ball more times in a game. 6-0 is going to be the norm for the time being.
Even when Suarez comes back things like this don't revert back completely to their initial state, Coutinho should now retain some share of extra possession compared to before, hopefully an optimum share.

What? Did you mean Ortega?
But also worth saying that he deserved to be taken off last week at H/T. Nothing was working for him. And, we should expect his consistancy to be uneven given his age. So, we will need alternatives for a while. But, yesterday was a masterful performance.
Yeah him too.
Yeah, I'm not suggesting he'd be the all out combative gutsy replacement, we're never going to replace that, so we'll have to be a sum of our parts, more of a team, which is a good thing in many respects. He could be very much in the Silva/Modric mould, the Aimar that we never got.
Let's hope so!!
Coutinho reminds me of Fabregas.
Reminds me of a more efficient version of Garcia.
Everything Coutinho has shown us so far indicates he's going to be in the top four or five players in the world before long.
There's only two things he has left to prove: consistency and influencing the match against the better teams.
He's also going to have to get used to being man marked next year.

Those last two sentences describe the hardest aspects a player like him has to overcome, and something most never do overcome.
Hope we supporters don't go overboard with him and put too much pressure there. I don't know what went wrong at Inter but I hope it wasn't because of his mentality...
Very...
