Popular Post Delphinho123 Posted May 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2022 I love watching him play like I used to love watching Grealish play. He’s a different style of player in that he isn’t as graceful and elegant, or even as quick but his touch and the way he positions his body when he gets the ball is just incredible. As soon as Coutinho gets the ball, he doesn’t think, ‘I’ve got to pass this straight away’, he turns and tries to create enough space to actually hurt the opposition. He doesn’t want to go backwards, he wants to drop a shoulder, create a yard and move us forward. He almost dances when in possession. Absolutely love him. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can sort out the midfield 3 behind him then I genuinely think that with more time, better quality service and receiving the ball higher up the pitch - Emi2 / Coutinho could be a massively important, dynamic, exciting and creative partnership. They are very different players but they could really complement each other well. We just need to give them the solid platform on which to work their magic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) At least we can take away this lovely moment from yesterday. That first touch is the very definition of world class. Great celebrations too with all the subs. The whole squad love him and you can see why he wants to be here. Cant wait for next seasons Coutinho to flourish Edited May 23, 2022 by BleedClaretAndBlue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 And Sky actually missed the goal. Woeful coverage. The games they’re covering the focus should just be on that. They have other channels where they can around the grounds. Phillipe and Boubs some of their combos will be devastating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky was awful with the coverage to be fair. I watched with a Liverpool fan.. The Liverpool game on his telly and the Villa on my laptop. Was very infuriating that our game kept showing the goals from other games but that didn't happen with the Liverpool game, no! What was also infuriating was there was about a 45 second delay on my feed so knew we'd scored before we erm, scored. Took the edge off the game.

Delphinho123 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Just properly watched that Coutinho goal back this morning against Man City. It’s a fantastic goal. He knows he’s only going to get one touch before he hits it and he executes it perfectly. We need to see more of Coutinho in those positions. Advancing past the striker and getting a shot off. He’s the best finisher at the club and he’ll get 10 goals next season if he doesn’t have to keep dropping deep to get on the ball. The knock on effect of having better centre halves and central midfielders will be the performances of Coutinho and Buendia. I’m excited to see just how good Coutinho can be next season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preaching to the converted here. Get him on average 5-10 yards further up the field and we will reap the benefits. Rather than having to move the ball forward to the edge of the area if he recieves it there he can get the extra half a second to start smashing those top corner curlers . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Buendia and Coutinho could chip in with more goals it would be great. I hope they develop an understanding and partnership in summer. People said Ings and Watkins couldn't play together and that was proven wrong. It'll be the same with Coutinho and Buendia, especially as they both seem good mates off the pitch too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a bit like Grealish goal vs Southampton last season which was a bit further back. Nothing really on and just slotted in near post, keeper just couldn't do anything I heard it called an Ederson error 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
