7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

[te amo barca]

He is clearly not in form. Poor again today.

 

[jairzinho]

Simply can't play more than 60 minutes as a LW. Proven again today.

He doesn't have the motor to run up and down the flanks. Sometimes he tends to tire and fade as the game progresses. Something I've noticed with him. But he wasn't poor at all, he had many good moments. 2 goals in 2 games.

 

[evilhita666]

He was good enough, and scoring against Madrid is always a plus...

 

[Nothanks]

i think he just needs rest to be honest, also he seemed to fit like a glove on the field with messi, hopefully he starts to shine more.

 

[Raketa10]

His form is terrible. He scored but everything else was pretty bad. IMHO only Rafinha was worse than Cou.

I don't think he was terrible. That being said, he should be rotated more in the next games. Stamina doesn't seem to be his strength.

 

[Horatio]

Slowed the attack down a couple of times by making unnecessary turns with the ball when there were the obvious passes to make.

 

[Givenchy]

I thought he was fine early on but again.. missing in the 2nd half. maybe its just down to his fitness levels/stamina. his goal was very important though

 

[Andresito]

He wasn't bad, not even close to it. He did his job.

But this is what happens when you play a LW or RW without pace. You can really only play them on their feet, plus they get easily isolated.

He got some through balls to run towards but nothing that could create any danger.

 

[Jombi]

Its not like he plays as a winger. He plays close to the goal where he can score and assist and doesnt have so many defensive duties, which is what he is good at. But he simply has to play with three other midfielders behind him. He's played that position for many years now for both Liverpool and Brazil.

Maybe because he got subbed off

 

[FC433]

Only if we can see him with Busquets and Arthur in the midfield.

 

[Barcaman]

Think he had a quiet match but far from out of form or terrible as some put it.

 

[Messigician]

Let's be honest, hes starting to feel like Fabregas V2 isnt he? More hot and cold flashes than a women in menopause

for me no. he's a lot more consistent and fit in the team a lot better than fabregas was. we had to move iniesta around to fit fabregas in.
