rodders0223 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Shouldn't be starting. End of story. He's either playing because of his name or he's a mate Awful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made In Aston Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I thought Coutinho didn't do anything to positively affect the game and was far too safe. We haven't signed him to play that way... we want him to take risks, dribble and try the audacious. Unfortunately I saw none of that today and am scratching my head to understand why.

useless Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 He was good when Ramsey and Buendia came on, previous to that he had no one to link up with. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Not working in this system. If we play 2 forwards then it needs to be buendia. Otherwise play 1 striker and coutinho with buendia. We have lots of options. I can't remember the last time we had this many attacking options in the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STO Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 We have to build the midfield around him, especially the defensive elements. I hope we get a couple in this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to play Buendia and Coutinho behind 1 striker. I have no idea what Gerrard is thinking at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I wanted us to sign him permanently and still think for the money it will be a great deal but he was really poor today and its now been 9 games since he got a goal or an assist which just isn't good enough even if he was playing well. The fact that he isn't playing well either and giving simple passes to the opposition really is an insult considering he was once the world's second most expensive player. I blame a lot of it on Gerrard though because he was coming so deep to get the ball at times and he should have been much higher up the pitch where he can do damage.

Aston_Villan4 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I don’t understand why he was playing so deep. Seemed to do him no favors today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realised the players around him are gash, so drops deeper and deeper to get the ball, to try and be involved. We need to fix the midfield in the summer, critically so, its mind boggling how poor our midfield is. New striker also tbf.....i think once we get the right players in, Couts and Buendia will be something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often seemed like the only way he'd get the ball. Strong "pass it to Jack" vibes in the first half, we had nothing to offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
