Nah. No worries, mate. The way I see it, our defense is shit whether Coutinho stays or leaves. That's our main problem right now. In any case, Suarez was a much bigger loss for us anyway. Coutinho's weaknesses are his inconsistency and injuries. So if you guys sign him, be ready for those.

So? Its still similar circumstances. You wanted Neymar to GTFO of Barca. I want Liverpool to take Coutinho up on his word about never playing again for Liverpool even if they don't sell him.

It was more than just Gerrard. The move was blocked 100% by the owners. And the court rulings threw out the supposed "release clause". He had two options - play ball or rot in the reserves. BTW, he had to resort to biting Chiellini to force Liverpool to sell him for less than they wanted.

And if that had happened, I would have suggested the same thing I do now. What's your point?

That was not my point. My point was that Suarez, at the time, was willing to fight to get out of the club, going as far as taking the club to court. That's how committed he was. But he never said anything about never wearing the Liverpool jersey again ever. Coutinho is saying he's prepared to...

And you probably said the same thing about Neymar, right?

I hope Liverpool bench him for the rest of his remaining 5-year contract, then. Lets see if he's truly willing to sacrifice his career as well. Ungrateful Brazilians, him and Neymar. At least Suarez agreed to give the club one more important season for them.

When your team can't even fucking defend against a 10-man opposition at home, a striker in poor form is the least of your worries.

I just love how when Barca loses Suarez is everyone's go-to guy for the blame. It used to be him and Neymar who shared the burden of being everyone's favorite punching bag. But since Neymar left, Suarez seems to be the guy that has to bear all the blame now. Have any of you seen the defense? Its...

I just love how no club gives a shit about the FFP. They're still going out spending like there's no tomorrow. Even PSG, who was "punished" for falling foul of it is still spending crazy money. Proves that FFP was actually put in place to ensure that rich clubs stay rich and small clubs stay...

Yes. Sell Suarez and sign the thin air that scored the two goals while Suarez was way back in our half sleeping next to MATS' goal. :rolleyes:

Exactly. Most people tend to miss those little off-the-ball things. It was definitely not his best game but it was far from his worst.

Best was a winger. Puskas is debatable. Eusebio shouldn't even come into the conversation. So you're able to come up with 3 people from the supposedly many list of great strikers that the guy I replied to claimed were much better than Suarez. Congrats.

Name those great strikers who have been more productive and contribute more to the team than Suarez does.

I disagree. He was the main man because he was involved in everything. Watch his first ever Liverpool match, coming on as a substitute against Stoke City, a team that is well known for parking the bus(Liverpool's major weakness). He was all over the pitch in an instant, passing, moving, shouting...

I love Suarez. I've been following him since his Ajax days. But I believe he's currently nowhere near as good as he was 2 years ago or during his Liverpool days. He was never a passing maestro but he's usually much better than this. Although I agree that he hasn't lost his passion and...

People need to leave him alone. So what if he wasn't his usual GOAT-self? Okay, he's only human, even if he's the best of the best. He's allowed to have bad performances occasionally. He's not a machine. People are now talking like he cost the team the league title? A month ago, most of you had...

He is good at ball retention and yes he is stable. But he's mostly given a job further up the field at Liverpool since they don't have someone as good making things happen in the final third. Coutinho is a forward-thinking CM. What you're looking for is something called a "defensive-minded CM"...

Vision, ball retention, hustle, short & long passes, energy, pressing, creativity, flair, etc. You can do your own research if you want, but i doubt you will. So lets just agree that neither of us want Coutinho at Barca - you, for some insane notion that Coutinho has to be better than Iniesta...

Whether Barca needs him or not is debatable, and I understand the appeal of playing for Barca or Madrid for most South American players and I'm sure Coutinho is no exception. But IMO, it will be much better for his career if he doesn't leave Liverpool, at least not now when the future is looking...
