7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

Barca needs some speed on the wings to apply back some pressure onto Manchester.
Dembele or Malcolm shd be coming on for Coutinh, who has had no impact on this game.. to be honest, the whole Barca team is having an off-day today

wasn't even "bad", but provides absolutely nothing. if dembele wasn't fit enough to start then malcom should've started. teams aren't even respecting his pace

exactly, nada - but he is given instructions to play like this
but 150 mil doing this? waste of money and space - get him more involved or sell and get a player Valverde could use better

It just makes no sense why the fuck is he a winger, there was a situation where he got a through ball pass on the left with acres of space in front of him and he fucking STOPPED. Any winger would just sprint towards the left corner but he knows he's too slow so he just stops the play. Just play him in the midfield and let actual wingers play on the wing, its just so obvious but nothing is being done about it for a full fucking year now...

Doesnt matter where he plays the guy is not good enough to play for Barca , and we are going to struggle to find another mug to waste cash on him.

Not good enough as a midfielder? Wipe away the hate and his price tag, think about how he plays, he would be our top 2 at least midfielder.

I said before we signed him he was inconsistent for Liverpool and would struggle in LaLiga and thats exactly whats happened. Have you actually watched this clown this year ? Guy will go down in football history as the biggest waste of cash ever. Should be nowhere near the club.

Not as Valverde is structuring our midfield play no, Cou is wasted in Barca and we need another coach to realise Cou cause' Valverde is the coach that he is...

Not true, he is wasted in Barca and Valverde prefers this kind of football where a player like Cou falls between the chairs - but on the other hand he should create something from time to time, some fucking solo work, but we don't have any forwards other than Suarez and the whole team plays to suit Messi (which is OK, but why even bother buying Cou?)

It has zero to do with the manager the fact that the guy cant go by a player and struggles to put three decent passes together , that just an excuse. The guy is not good enough for Barca , its not the first time its happened with a big signing and wont be the last.

if he had scored the shot saved by de Gea he would get better reviews today. I feel sorry for him - no luck.
However, there seems to be something wrong with his stamina - his best moments are usually during the first 30 minutes.
