None of it matters. Players get injured or they lose form after, staying (Kane), or leaving Lewansowski. Some get poked in the eye and never return to the top.
Just face the fact that despite such an abject failure to live up to his potential - for what ever reason, poor old Couts has won the same number of big prizes in the last 3 years as Mané and Bobby combined.
You're misunderstanding the point I'm making. If Coutinho feels like he contributed (not me) then that's fine and he can look back with relative contentment. But equally, it would be hard to argue that his career went down the toilet. Did he live up to his potential? No. But was he successful? Yes.
