‘He’s a magician’
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp has claimed that Liverpool’s Phillippe Coutinho is his favourite player to watch at the moment.
“The Brazilian magician is my favourite Liverpool player to watch right now. He’s the one I look forward to seeing. I’d have loved to have played with someone like him.” said Redknapp,
“He’s only 24 but he’s such a talented player and he’s become Liverpool’s talisman. When Liverpool are struggling, he’s the one they look to and more often than not he takes the game by the scruff of the neck.”
Coutinho has been in fine form for Liverpool at the beginning of this season, grabbing 4 goals and 4 assists, and putting in a really impressive performance last weekend away at Crystal Palace, the sort of form he’ll be hoping to repeat at home against Watford on Sunday.
Redknapp continued: “When it comes to picking a combined Premier League XI, there’s some fierce competition for who you’d have in that playmaker role. David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne and Mesut Ozil are all brilliant players. But on his day Coutinho is as good as anyone.”
