Master this set of tactics and then move on to another set ? That way we are even less predictable? That's why he needs to stay here for a good 4 plus years, if we continue to get around 2 ppg I can see him wanting to stay for a good while. I can see a scenario, where he might take a different role, when he is tired of the rigours of day to day football....(not any time soon, but long term) something like a consultant or floating director of football....to guide Vitoria, Zed, womens football, Las Vegas or any other new verture NSWE partake. He is such a diamond....I can see him stay with V Sports, in another capacity, if he so chooses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideal thing to do would be try and get his son involved as much as possible, and his wife so they too feel part of the villa family. Little things like that to make them feel they can settle for a good time in the area and feel wanted and welcomed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zab6359 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 He seems a really genuine nice guy but I hope some saudi team comes in for him in the summer and takes him off the wage bill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't hide in 5 a side Wait so...one of the most recruited and decorated international footballers of the past decade couldn't compete in 5 a side against us regular Joe's? Have you been on a crack pipe or something? Yes he's largely disappointed at villa so far but that is a spectacularly insane statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would murder every single one of our squad in a 5 a side apart from maybe Buendia. While he seemingly cannot dominate a game anymore due to fitness / age / determination/ bad luck his close control would be impossible to deal with. Every Villa player when asked says Coutinho when they want to know the most skillful. Would love to watch him play Kiwi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and Dougie has improved under the guidance of Coutinho as well. Edited April 20, 2023 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talented player no doubt, but can he do it on a cold Tuesday evening at powerleague? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
