EPL 2017/18: Manchester City 5-0 Liverpool, 5 Talking Points

#3 How important is Coutinho going to be for Liverpool now?

With Sadio Mane facing suspension, will Liverpool have to turn to Phillipe Coutinho once again?

The Phillipe Coutinho saga finally seems to be over but he is yet to represent the Reds this season. Before this match, Jurgen Klopp came out and said that Countiho still needs some time before he is back to his best.

It is almost certain that Sadio Mane is going to face an elongated spell on the sidelines for his challenge on Ederson; the only variable is for how long. This makes it almost unquestionable that Coutinho will be named in the Liverpool squad for next week’s clash against Burnley.

After looking ever so good in the 4-0 decimation of Arsenal, is the Liverpool attack once again going to have to turn to its little Brazilian talisman from the previous season? Only time will tell.
