Philippe Coutinho

[BBZ8800]

Some disturbing stats:

Coutinho 174 minutes, 2 goals + 2 assists
Messi 983 minutes, 2 goals + 6 assists
Frenkie 1485 minutes, 2 goals + 2 assists

Who bites? ;D

Stunning stats.

If the same player is good in one league and mediocre in another league, then maybe it's the level of these leagues? Are there any regrets for Luis Suarez?

La Liga is littered with players scoring goals that were abysmal in EPL works both ways but no doubt EPL is far stronger.

A mid table game in EPL has Brazilian, Spanish, English internationals.

Tried to watch Granada v Osasuna I think it was for Collado a couple weeks back it was so slow, boring and devoid of quality had to switch it off.

It changes based on circumstances

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Not sure if this is Messi or Coutinho.
Maybe they went to a face-plastic surgery to switch identities.
And the real Coutinho is actually now at Psg, while this is Messi in disguise as Coutinho at Aston Villa.
That is the only explanation

Better highlight reel than his previous few seasons with Barca haha

 

[Porque]

Watched the highlights. He's not actually doing anything different than here. Just that the team is playing through him more, faster, more direct and supporting with attacking movement.

There is still the 4 or 5 touches on the ball before passing. Just that it doesn't result in a backpass to Alba as it would have done here previously.

 

[Birdy]

Had always said that the 'lack of quality' argument is stupid, and the 2 things blocking him at Barca were:
1) Confidence problems
2) The presence of Messi centrally, occupying his space and doing the things he would have done. Same goes for Griezman occupying his space.

Quite rewarding to see that these theses about him are getting vindicated
