Not that I truly believe that as a valid excuse, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 well.....cant see him wanting to stay if this is how we are gonna perform.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I feel sorry for him. He isnt getting the ball enough in the right places. The time he did, he almost equalised with a piece of magic. He should have been given that free kick too. Enjoy him while you can, he won't be here next year at this rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either he played well, and a CL club would snatch up a rejuvenated Coutinho, or he wouldn't and we'd not spend that kind of money on him. Enjoy him while he's here.

Hiney Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 A luxury player that no one else seems on the same wavelength. Not his fault, he is genuinely world class but it's just not working the past few games. I expect more than just a few glimpses of quality, we should be running everything through him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The young lads can come through and play alongside Coutinho as Ramsey has so dosen't have to be either/or. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Crazy thought but the Gerrard system hasn't looked good, since countinho came in. Him and Buendia are very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counter attack type games v Leeds are where he excels, not sure the next time other than Leeds away we'll get that as feels like teams have worked us out nicely.

We will all be dead by the time we reach Europe if this is how its gonna be. ****** Joke!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he's one of the most expensive players in Europe? If he showed even a glimmer of his former highs, a club that can offer him more were bound to come in for him.

chips'ngravy Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 To be fair, he was as big a contributor as anyone else to the poor play in midfield, making plenty of loose passes. Thought Ramsey was comfortably our best player but he needs better quality around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
