Jamie Carragher is
just catching the Phillippe Coutinho bug and the Liverpool legend believes the
attacking midfielder has the quality to play at the very top of the game.
The Brazilian has
been in immense for over the years and has impressed in an attacking role
alongside Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane, with the Reds sitting joint leaders
at the top of the table.
And while Carragher
believes the early hype surrounding the Brazilian was unwarranted, the former
Liverpool defender now believes he’s good enough to play at the very top of the
game.
“There used to be a
time when I would roll my eyes. Philippe Coutinho’s name would be mentioned
alongside a team such as Real Madrid but I never took it seriously. I’m not
rolling my eyes any longer,” says Carragher, in his Daily Mail column. “He is
becoming Liverpool’s perfect 10.
“He has become one
of the stars of the Premier League, the driving force behind Liverpool’s
impressive early form and the key to them sustaining what could yet become a
challenge for the title,”
“He is playing at
such a level that you could put him in the No 10 position of any of Liverpool’s
rivals — Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester United — and
he would fit in seamlessly and enhance their quality.
“Gerrard and Suarez
have gone and Coutinho is now the man.”
