7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

[Leong157]

Not a good form from him. Tried to dribble too much in the second half and end up loss the ball. And not tracked back to defend cause us a goal. I think he needs to chill a bit. He seem like someone under a lot of pressure.

 

[Sorin]

Poor all around. Aside from that pass to Messi for the goal, which btw was more Messi's ball control than Coutinho, all he did is lose everything.

 

[Givenchy]

not writing him off by any means but hes been underwhelming for me, I was expecting more creativity but it still feels like Messi has to do everything himself

 

[Alik]

I'm not worried at all about him.

 

[BarcaMessi]

Least of Barca's worries beside his assist to messi's goal.

Offloading the fringe players (Vidal, Paulinho, Digne...) and hot-cold Suarez are much bigger issues for Barca.

Yeah, I'm the same. He needs to provide more. We're not paying for potential like Dembele. He's in his prime. Needs to create more/link better\stop being so sloppy. Hopefully when he's fully integrated next season we'll start seeing something approaching 150 mill worth of player.

 

[Joan]

Have to say it, I'm very disappointed with him.

Loses the ball way too often for a Barca player. I expected him to take part of Messi's creative duties and set him up more often. He assisted him, true... Just expected more from him.

People expecting him to be an Iniesta replacement are going to be in for a big surprise.

Spot on , nowhere near Iniesta level and doubt he ever will be.

 

[serghei]

He's just signed and is influencing almost every game he plays. Didn't have a preseason with the team yet. It's hard to switch from one type of trainings under Klopp, to a completely different approach mid season.

Next season we will see more of the new signings, in this one the burden will be carried by the old guard mostly.

 

[Catta]

He reminds me so much of Cesc. Will have great stats but still not good enough.

 

[CatalinR10]

He reminds me so much of Cesc.

It's not even close , Cesc was really bad for what it was expected of him.

Just like Coutinho then , only costing much more money.
