Liverpool will fight until the end - Rodgers [AMBIENT]
Coutinho was named man of the match in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Newcastle on Monday, and his impressive performances throughout this term have been pivotal from Brendan Rodgers' side.
And Carragher has hailed Coutinho's outstanding peformance in the false nine role against the Magpies.
"The role he played tonight was the false nine we speak about a lot," Carragher said on Monday Night Football.
"We expect him in a wide area, but we saw some of his touches tonight and his ability in small spaces against players, some of the pieces of play he produced tonight.

Jamie Carragher believes Philippe Coutinho has become Liverpool's go-to man
"Last season Luis Suarez was Liverpool’s main man, the go-to man. But as this season has progressed, and for the future, Coutinho is Liverpool’s.
"I don’t think that false nine role will be his. Obviously Sturridge is out. But we’ve seen him behind the front, the main striker tonight, and he was outstanding."
