Barcelona lost 2-1 to Levante last night in the Spanish Cup, and it seems that fans of the Catalans have laid most of the blame at the feet of Coutinho.

Big Coutinho news: Respected journalist confirms Barca’s plans for Phil
The Brazilian scored a penalty late on, but endured a poor performance, taking many shots from range instead of trying to find one of his team-mates.
(We can remember that feeling!)
Some of the comments levelled his way on Twitter though were genuinely nasty.
Below, we’ve copied in just a small number of the thousands of comments which indicated Barca fans (on the interest, at least) have had enough of O Magico.
@JeSuisMichael__ Does Coutinho know what final ball is? Must you shoot? Are you a bastard?
@FCBarcelonaHQ What on earth is wrong with Coutinho? This is actually worrying.
@Acquiesce16 Coutinho is honestly so fucking dog shit. we’ve been scammed big time
@SunniSaeed Coutinho is genuinely dog shit thats all i can say
@SunniSaeed False. All i want is Valverde and Coutinho out of my club!
@RashadJunior enough is enough
@XaviTempo_ Safe to say Coutinho was the result of bad planning. €160M for a player whose favorite position doesn’t exist at Barça. Barto masterclass. Mi president.
@Beto_bandes As much as it hurts to say this: Coutinho is shit, there, I said it.

It’s not nice, is it?
Coutinho is a world-class player and despite the trophies he’s won at Barca, cannot be entirely happy with life in Spain – especially considering Ernesto Valverde is currently sticking him on the bench in La Liga.
We ran a poll on Twitter yesterday, in which 70% of over 23,000 Liverpool fans stated they’d want Coutinho back if it was a possibility.
We have no idea if it is or not, but if things stay as they are at Barca, he might not be there after this summer.
