7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

[Ousmane Dembélé]

This guy has more Barca's DNA than players born, raised and trained in Barcelona for 20 years.

After only 20 minutes, it is evident that he fits like a glove and that he will be our 2nd player best behind Messi.
Or, our best player, among mortal players.

Messi and teammates were looking for him all the time, after only a few minutes on the field.
On the other hand, teammates ignored new kids Dembele and Semedo in some matches.

Coutinho already earned insane respect among all players.
Coutinho, teammates, fans and our tactics, it just all looked as a love at first after only 20 minutes.

Would you swap Coutinho for Neymar?

Of for fuck sake please do not pollute this thread with BBZ rants on Neymar heard a hundred times before.

 

[Vilarrubi]

What a debut! Those runs and turns on the ball.. outrageous.

 

[khaled_a_d]

Some class moves. Howeveeer.... Noticed he stood in Alba's lanes few times and disrupted the flow but it's his first match and he was probably just looking to be involved as much as he could.

This, he showed his talent, but also his off the ball movement was bad imo, he will need time to adapt to his teammates movement

One of them is a humble guy with Barca's DNA who will improve our play.

The other guy is Neymar.

Coutinho is a better fit for Barca than Neymar on his peak of Barca's career
For me personally, the only time when I fell in love at first sight after Barca's debuts in the last 15-20 years were:
1. Ronaldinho
2. Etoo
3. Messi
4. Coutinho

Coutinho is Barca material through and through.

But Coutinho isn’t a workhorse,is he?

 

[bismp]

Great debut,seemed like he has been playing here for all his career.A real shame that he can’t play in the CL...

 

[wisconsincule]

We’ve got quite the player we’ve got on our hands boys. It’s too bad we couldn’t have gotten him in the summer. Class player he is!!!!

 

[Kohe321]

It's easy to see that we're going to have many memorable moments with this guy. What a phenomenal player, was a joy to watch him tonight as he got into the groove of things. His ball delivery is so quick and precise, for example he keeps sending these laser sharp ground passes with enough power behind them to really cut through lines of defense. I predict him and Messi will link up really well as time goes by.

Seems like a better fit for Barca than Neymar.

Will post this just to make [MENTION=16942]BBZ8800[/MENTION] happy.
