| Philippe Coutinho with Luis Suarez (Liverpool FC) |
Philippe Coutinho's £142million ($245M) move to Barcelona leaves Liverpool with a great need to replace the void left by the departure of their biggest star for the second time in less than four years.
Coutinho has mimicked Luis Suarez, who swapped Anfield for Camp Nou in 2014 after playing the lead role in Liverpool's oh-so-close push for the Premier League title that year.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have a win percentage of 42.9 from the 14 league matches in which Coutinho has featured, but have triumphed in 75 per cent of the eight matches the Brazilian has missed.
The Reds are also slightly more productive in front of goal without Coutinho, scoring about 1.3 per match compared to 1.1 when he is involved.
The 20-year-old player has hit 12goal in 18games this season to position Liverpool well to retain a top four finish and go deep in the Champions League.
