7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

[Danic]

Why not? At least give it a try. Ofc it dont have to be the chelsea match.
But ur right i also would like semedo more as RB in this formation cause in defending hes the better one.

 

[BarçaBarça]

He will play instead of Iniesta for now - let us hope that he steps up and reward us with some great performances. It is his chance to prove that he can truly contribute when we need him (and ease the anxiety of loosing Iniesta to China in the summer).

 

[clemente]

He is so good holy shit, every touch is lethal, even finishing is better than Neymars

 

[ASordidGod]

Great goal. Good half. Seems more comfortable a bit further forward. Which is good for now, but kind of worrying for future as I don't seem him getting many opportunities to play there. I so much prefer this 433 though.

 

[mesiesta]

He has Barca DNA

 

[Devils]

I'm so happy to watch both him and Dembele lighting fire to this match.

Excellent display so far.

 

[Barcaman]

Whata goal that was

 

[FCBfan22]

Ran the show tonight with Dembele. What a goal.

Happy with his qualitites, but not happy with his style. He has barca DNA but he needs tp synchronize with the way we play. Everytime he has the ball he looks at the goal and does a very risky one two with the nearest player regardless of how sound the attempt is. he did that today a lot and failed a lot. Sometimes it is best to pass the ball around and make the opponenet run for the ball to drain him physically and psychologically. He has everything to help us maintain possession. Not evey ball he touches has to be a one two attempt of a shot attempt. I think he will come around and these things will come eventually.

 

[FC B]

Really good game by him tonight but keep in mind he is still so very new and maybe he'll fully adapt in the middle of the next season. Great goal !

 

[Danic]

Still not sure if he wouldnt fit better as CM. Maybe doing better in the centre with the game in front of him.

Kind of share the same sentiment based on this game. He was overly attacking, was hard to miss it. Hopefully it was Valverde that gave him that freedom because it was Malaga.

Maybe .. Or maybe he still feels like he plays with Klopp in the EPL, where they played (and still) direct football all the time. I wouldn't classify barca's football as direct. It's patient football, and he needs to keep that in my mind.

I'm one of his biggest fans but despite that classy goal he scored I was again disappointed in his performance as his play is possibly 40% of his Liverpool play .

I realise he's still bedding in but it seems that became his games are limited he's trying too hard and making soooo many errors .

It seems like he's overly excited to attack every time he gets the ball.
