Phil Silvers Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Hard to get up to the pace of it so quick but I wish had some of the opportunities that fall to others, that's where is class will show till he's fully up to speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Pretty anonymous today but this was not the game for him. Good for his fitness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 good for his fitness, was quiet, but tbh was probably one of the worst games on paper for him (ie: Ferguson hulk smash Everton, Dyche hulk leg break Burnley types). good for him to get 70 odd mins, will help him sharpen up 4 sure. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Just fitness. Great that he's starting and we are winning with him in the team. Gives us another level of options on the pitch and double worry for opponents. He'll take probably a month or so to be fully up to speed but I think we'll improve as he does.

Popular Post nick76 Posted January 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2022 Good run out for him to get fitness. Very little impact on the game today but glad he’s got good minutes under belt 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on mate. A real baptism of fire against 1970’s Everton. Run out will have done him good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 It isn't just fitness imo. Not at the level he was in 2017. He is still good at striking the ball and his passing is slick but we shouldn't have unrealistic expectations. He isn't going to rip up the league. He is an improvement on Traore, and I'll take that for now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs minutes and today was useful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwi1890 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 It wasn’t a game for anybody to stand out today really, great for him to get minutes though, showed some nice touches and linked up nicely with Digne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 The minutes will do him good, even better that we could afford him some time to gain fitness and still get the win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston_Villan4 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Should’ve give him an assist for that header that set up the Buendia goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 There was no space in the centre and was a scrappy high tempo game,which would have been tough for a fully fit Coutinho - let alone one that is no where near match fit. Personally I would have started with Chuck, to deal with the early physicality, then brought Coutinho on in the second half when there was more space. But I understand Gerrard wanting to get him up to speed ASAP with more minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
