7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

[ASordidGod]

He should take all free kicks on the left side. His accuracy since 2013 is 25% . Amazing

Yeah, agree. I get that he doesn't want to be seen as coming in and taking over, but he hits a good free kick, much better than Suarez. Messi was willing to share with Neymar, so almost certainly Coutinho will get his chance at some point, but I'd like that point to be NOW. Much harder for a goalkeeper to set up too if there's a left and right footer standing over it, so even if Messi just uses him as a decoy it'll help.

I'd like to see how Coutinho would do on the number wall test .... The one that's on Twitter showing Messi getting all the numbers in QuickTime ..

Never heard of that to be honest. I'm just going by what I've seen in games. But Coutinho is an excellent free kick taker no doubt.

Can you share the link? I've seen one in which Messi shot numbers hang over goal posts, made by Japanese. Not sure if that's the same one.

I don't think so.

Yeah, okay

 

[Barcaman]

His first goal for Barca

 

[khaled_a_d]

Yeah that's the one .... 24 targets ??

I'm relieved (as he was) that finally scored. Suarez takes all the credit.

 

[clemente]

I knew he will score before Dembele, what a finish.

 

[dakt]

Great goal for sure, but I still don't see the brilliance. What I like about him is his fight for the ball, ball control obviously, shooting capabilities and that he doesn't fall under Messi influence when he's around him.

This. Careless in possession. Excellent finish though.

Welcome to the Club Phil! Thanks for the goal.
