7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

[JerseyAddict]

Nothing to do with Cout ... He showed he was in the mindset the other night ...

This was all down to the managers massive cock ups tonight .

Couthino played out of position ... No Busquets ... hoping Rakitic could play in Busqs position .. Rakitic AND Paulhino on the pitch at the same time ...one is bad enough .. So many bad things worry me about this manager ..

It was about Barça pushing thrue the middle while Semedo and Digne were picking flowers on flanks.

When Alba and Roberto were in it was much better.

Played well and Valverde should have kept him and subbed Paulinho off instead.

Tend to agree.

Worst thing about tonight is that Valverde is the kind o coach that seems to persisit in his experiments..we might see him struggle some more on the right untill his confidence will be totally fucked..

I really don't know what Valverde was trying to do and why did he try to complicate things for himself and the team. Should just have played him on the left wing in a 4-3-3 formation.

 

[MessiTHEgoat]

why use him in the left side? was in liverpool for like 4 years and never played there.

he played good but he definitely needs time to adapt to the team.

Coutinho overall had a good game. Was active in the first half, when Messi usually rests. He still lacks some of the tactical discipline - got mixed a lot with Iniesta and Messi positions which caused some confusion on the pitch. Good times!

Valverde's fault too Coutinho fucked up passes?

Cout got better and better ... Probably in shock when he was told to hang about on the right wing .

Bet the Liverpool players were laughing their guts up , watching the early part of the game

?????

Have you EVER seen him play for Liverpool !!!!

 

[FCBfan22]

He has been given a bit too much of a free role IMHO. If you have Messi and Paulinho on the field together, noone else should be given free hands in terms of positioning.

This is my big worry ...!!

Yeah, they're laughing while losing to West Brom lmao

 

[SeloBarca]

Big tactical error to put him on the right.
When he actually got to play more in mid, he did well.

Iniesta - Paulinho - Rakitic - Coutinho. It just becomes to clustered.

 

[MagIX]

imo we can't play with Iniesta AND Coutinho AND in front Messi and Suarez
imo Coutinho is the natural replacement of Iniesta....who unfortunately is not eternal

Well...we won't see them play together in CL at least since Coutinho isn't allowed to.

Coutinho and Iniesta can easily play together in a 4-3-3.
