Philippe Coutinho
Brazilian playmaker was stagnating at Inter Milan before Liverpool spent a bargain £8.5m to bring the youngster to Anfield and game by game Coutinho has proven that such an investment was one that will pay for itself many times over.
Coutinho is a quick thinking instinctive performer who perfectly links midfield and attack and though Rodgers would perhaps want the 21 year old to get on the score-sheet more often he can’t complain about the player’s excellent distribution.
Indeed on occasion his footballing brain can be ahead of the wavelength of some of his team-mates though in time the relationship between himself and those around him can only improve.
