Coutinho is far too unreliable due to his general fitness to be considered important to the squad. We should try and sell him to some unsuspecting suckers and then run off laughing, just as Barca did to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I don't think Emery has a pecking order that works like that. Different players suit different formations and approaches to matches and different opposition. I'm sure everyone hear when the transfer window closes will have a role to play, everyone that leaves will just be one less option. Hopefully people we bring in give us more options and perform to a more consistent standard when called upon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
