please call the spade a spade.. his finishing was not off it was ON today! that is his Achilles' heel. he is a horrible finisher and that, in my assessment, trumps a lot of his qualities.. and for the record i felt for him today.. he did improve his positionning instincts and he seemed starting to absorb some ideas of the club.. he tried to ask for the ball in spaces and he attempted fast transtions, although without much success.. now are these improvements.? yes. Does he deserve to start just because he has a baby face and looks nice, absolutely no. Coutinho should have started right there. period.
