7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

[Nothanks]

don't think it's that he gets tired of playing wing, just simply like rakitic, he is starting every match even for international

 

[Raketa10]

Awful today!

 

[Messigician]

Meh stamina issues. Play him CAM when Messi is back

 

[clemente]

He just looks depressed to me, probably didn't expect to be the carry of the team before he came here, if Messi isn't there then he again doesn't have anyone to learn from

What are you talking about? Suarez was great today and carrying Barca

 

[te amo barca]

He is not fast enough to play as a LW IMO. A waste there. But then you can't bench Raki or Arthur either.

 

[Messigician]

I found the solution to Coutinho problem

Suarez Messi
Coutinho
Rakitic Arthur
Busquets
Alba Pique Umtiti Roberto

He was fine. Found himself in the box very well for that shot on the post. No need to be sensitive about it.

 

[serghei]

Yea, fine game imo. Good trickery at times, he's just sluggish in moments still.

No he wasn't but I know you are used to low standards having to watch Madrid try to play football.

 

[Cule4life]

Wolfe ever the hipster saying Coutinho was great today. It's not suspicious at all

 

[mc_lovin]

He was bad. But not really. I mean at least he doesnt do stupid shit and still keeps the ball well.

 

[Joan]

Far from bad, but not his best game either.

 

[FCBfan22]

He had a decent 1st half, but he really fell off the cliff in the second.

Again, I think that he doesn't have the lungs to play LW for more than 50-60 minutes.

 

[xXKonan]

I still think he's more suited as a CM than he is as an LW here IMO.

He works better when he has some options in front of him to link up with. But the problem is Valverde doesn't seem to have any plans on using a Coutinho-Arthur setup with Rakitic on the bench. Because the Cou-Rakitc pairing fucking sucks.
