7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

[Galning]

Poor game once again, deserved to come off way sooner.

Needs to play in the midfield. Put Rakitic on the bench and play Cou- Busi- Arthur/Vidal for fucks sake.

 

[Raketa10]

Every time he tries to shoot he aims for the far post. It's as predictable as the sun rising in the morning! Why the fuck Valverde insists on playing him as a LW?

 

[Catta]

Damn is he bad this season, hasn't justified even a quarter of what we paid for him. The club really fucked up with the Neymar money.

 

[Sorin]

Looks like a 150m Rafinha out there.

It was not off by much. Barca needs this threat on the left.

 

[Andresito]

Still completely out of synch with the rest. It's 10 Barça players and Coutinho on the pitch

It's funny how everyone expected him to make a massive step up this season yet he's being outperformed by Dembele the Catalan Media spent so much time shitting on this season. Yet you don't hear a word about them from the Media about Coutinho's performances.

I like Cou but he really needs to step it up and pronto. Basically offering very little on the LW.

 

[Raketa10]

Another problem is that he doesn't defend well! People were fuming about Demebele not defending but Demebele is currently 10x more active in defense than Cou!

It was not off by much. Barca needs this threat on the left.

Yeah but it's predictable as it gets! FFS there are also other possibilities, especially when you are worth 140 mil!

 

[Cule4life]

The Catalan media will rather write about how many shits Dembele takes than how our most expensive signing is stinking up the place.

Valverde: "Messi is fine, he has received a blow, but nothing more than that. It has been a tough match."

Then fucking sub him off.

Exactly....seems quite obvious tbh

Messi flanked either side by Malcom and Dembele

I think the frustrating thing about him right now is that he isn't doing enough to get more involved.

Sure he isn't the greatest in the LW Spot, but it seems instead of trying to make use of his current abilities the best he can in that position he just looks like a man who doesn't really want to get involved much. His only involvement most of the time is just him attempt to fire a rocket at the Goal.

In the last couple of games, the Right-hand side looked more competent than the Left-hand side with Alba-Cou, the first time in ages as well. Despite the number of games Coutinho and Alba played together both don't have any Chemistry whatsoever.
