He is already making headlines in Germany
At this point we can admit it's Valverde and lack of system which makes every player looks worse.
I know Coutinho very well he is a nothing player. The only thing he's ever been good at is shooting from distance but even that doesn't work out for him anymore.
Makes me sad to think Griezmann may suffer the same fate being pushed out to the LW because of a Luis Suarez who can barely run anymore.
At this point? It's become very clear for about 18 months for anyone who knows a thing or two about football in general.
Wasn't only valverde though, Messi is also an issue for Coutinho since they want to occupy the same space; Couple that with the front 3 of suarez, messi & coutinho being fairly slow and you could see why we had so many problems. A better tactician would of been able to minimize the issue though.
From the highlights, it looks like he does all the bad things he was criticized for while playing here. Going too softly to receive the ball and losing possession often when under any kind of pressure.
