AML Philippe Coutinho

Big shock, right? Yeah, Coutinho is involved in Liverpool’s strongest team. No question.

As laid out in the previous slide, the Reds will have a number of different players capable of banging double digit goals in the league. The side looks set to be free scoring and high octane. Coutinho will have pressure on him to reach double digit goals in the league for the first time at Liverpool, after netting eight last season.

Coutinho will be the luminous figure in attack with all the joy his play will imbue into Liverpool’s front four. It’s the year of Coutinho.

Next: ST Daniel Sturridge
