5 players who should not have been nominated for the Ballon d'Or

#3 - Philippe Coutinho

Were his performances THAT good?

Another Liverpool player who made the list is Philippe Coutinho. The Brazilian was better than Sadio Mane but was he better than the other midfielders in the Premier League that were mentioned in the previous slide? Nope.

This season, he's been on the bench for the transfer related issues and has only made a couple of apps for the Reds. He is someone who is not being hyped by the Liverpool fans itself but France Football somehow believe that he is among the 30 best players this year!

Liverpool might not have finished 4th last season had it not been for Coutinho but one needs to look at the bigger pitcher. There were at least 5 other midfielders who could have made the list ahead of the Brazilian for their performances this year!
