Philippe Coutinho

[Respekt_III]

For me none of those formations with that roster is viable at the elite level.

 

[Devils]

We'd have zero width dawg.

We'd get murdered by teams with elite wing-play, which tends to be most top teams these days.

 

[messi2140]

Yah , there is just no/barely any pace and players making runs. I just don't see those 3 work together.

Which makes the reports of both Coutinho and Griezmann staying worrying. Unless it means that Messi is leaving.

 

[Jcar]

Coutinho will only work as LM or CAM. He can't play CM, i am telling you. He doesn't have the stamina for it.

Koeman is going to play 4231. As already said here, he used 4231 everywhere he was.

If we play with De Jong and De beek behind Coutinho with fast wide fowards on the sides, i can actually believe in the Brazilian.

Coutinho as LM? Maybe. It worked at Liverpool, but him there can leave some other problems.

Lets see how things go with Messi and Pjanic.

We cant keep many players that cant defend/run at the same time. Coutinho & Messi together? I don't know.

I don't think a lot of people are willing to admit that this will be another lost season, and that it'll continue for at least 2-3 years. For us to have a viable team, 2 out of Griezmann, Coutinho, and Messi have to leave; they can't all be starters. Koeman will try to experiment and shit, but he'll fail as the two coaches before him have.

I think most people in this forum will admit that much.

 

[serghei]

WoW! That's a world of difference. I wonder what physical training our players do nowadays

It's called day off routine.

It's called day off routine.

Rest is crucial for true gains.

Yes.
It will be 4231.
MD says Frenkie-Pjanic as pivots.
Donnie won't be bought.

Cou will be CAM and Messi a RW.
Or Messi CAM and Cou a LW.

Probably Griezz/Dembele-Cou-Messi, Lautaro or a Cf.

Messi-Cou-Griezz-Cf quartet in some combination.

Griezzman won't play on the wing, Koeman said that he's not a winger and he will play in his natural position.

 

[clemente]

You can tell hes on steroids though, kinda exposes that whole Bayern squad being on that mexican meat, makes sense how they sprint for 90 min

I don't trust Pjanic defending.

Messi and Coutinho together worries me a lot

 

[vegitot]

Wow look at our offensive players next season on paper: Messi, Dembele, Griezmann, Coutinho, Puig, Fati, Trincao, Pedri

Decade of dominance incoming

 

[Messigician]

Griezzman won't play on the wing, Koeman said that he's not a winger and he will play in his natural position.

Stop believing that rubbish.


So it's going to be Messi cam Griezmann striker Coutinho LW?

Or Messi Striker Griezmann CAM?

You see the problem Messi and Grrizmamn both play in eachothers best position as a CF.

It's hilarious that you have to point this out lmao. It doesn't matter what Koeman says, as long as we have all 3 of these players then 2 of them will play out position. Just tells me that Koeman doesn't know shit.
