CHELSEA fans have begged their club not to make a summer move for Philippe Coutinho after his shocker for Barcelona against Liverpool.
Making a return to Anfield, Coutinho was subbed off on the hour-mark for Nelson Semedo after a spectacular flop against his former club.
It was a horrendous day all-round for Barca as they were thumped 4-0 by Liverpool and dumped out of the Champions League.
French newspaper L'Equipe, notoriously harsh with their match ratings, probably got it spot on marking him a THREE out of ten.
Only team-mate and fellow Liverpool old boy Luis Suarez scored lower, bagging a 2/10.
The Brazilian left Anfield for Barcelona in January 2018 for a whopping 145million.
But since his move, Coutinho has failed to light up the Nou Camp, and has been linked with a move away this summer.
Chelsea should never think of replacing Hazard with Coutinho never

And Chelsea are one of the clubs believed to be interested in bringing him back to the Premier League, especially if Eden Hazard leaves for Real Madrid.
Manchester United are also sniffing around the 26-year-old.
But Blues fans are not happy at the thought of Coutinho joining the Stamford Bridge mob.
One fan posted on Twitter: "Chelsea should never think of replacing Hazard with Coutinho never."
Another Blues fan was much more scathing.
They wrote: "Coutinho is f***ing awful. As bad as Willian. Chelsea better not waste money on him."
And Amrit Saikia wrote: "I hope Chelsea stay clear of Coutinho."
Dean Coleman posted that Coutinho was an "awful player", while another supporter said he would rather the club "play Drinkwater".
He was even described as a "fraud" by another fan.
It must be noted, and perhaps some relief for Chelsea supporters, that his signing would be dependent on Chelsea agreeing terms with Barcelona and seeing their transfer ban delayed until after the summer window.
