7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

[dakt]

I thought he was taller by the way. Like 174cm but he is shorter than Messi and Iniesta.

Barca DNA confirmed.

maybe in the 4-4-2 on the wing as tonight...
but coutinho is not a midfielder like iniesta.

One of them has got to come off.

Just to clarify: a player is amazing as LEFT WINGER and LEFT MIDFIELDER. His main weapon is to cut inside from the LEFT to score or make a killer pass, we pay a huge money to sign the guy to play him IN THE RIGHT??????

Yes Coutinho plays in the right for the nt. But he is not so good there as he is when Neymar was out and he played in his natural role in the LEFT. And Brazil play counter attack parts of the game.

Valverde needs to stop trying to put on a show. The stars are the players. Only thing he needs to do is line up everybody in their natural place.
In this heavy possession style Coutinho cant play in the right!

We could sign A LOT of cheaper players to do that if what Valverde wants is a right winger. Would be better to pay 40 mi for Malcom or Mahrez ffs.

Google search says he's an inch taller.

 

[Barcaman]

Bad match.

 

[Raki13]

Said before he was signed , running amok in England is nothing compared to playing for Barca.

It will take time , hopefully he will fit in.

 

[JerseyAddict]

Needs time to get in to the mindset of Barça playstyle.

 

[Sorin]

He still needs to know where every other player likes to move (chemistry). Playing him out of position should be a clear no no from now on.

 

[Neymessi]

Bad match.

Huh? I thought he was good.

This is prime coutinho but he is nowhere near an aging iniesta.

 

[FCBfan22]

Not suited for the RM/RW role in this team. Him and Iniesta should not play together again.

 

[Interlop]

He looked weird on that right side. You could see he was more comfortable on the left.

 

[Xaviniesta]

Why was he running all over the place? Only Messi and Paulinho get to do that

 

[Raketa10]

He should play as LW/LM/AM. He is not a RM or RW so please NEVER play him there again!

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 ..
