VillaAlex Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 The pleasing thing is he tries and works hard. His quality is there still, it's just not as consistent. He's a bit too weak in duels but there's no doubt if you give him space there isn't a player other than maybe Buendia you'd want on the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah all those chances he creates... He does nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to see it more often Didn't create a chance as usual and wasn't getting into any threatening positions. Looks nice pissing about with the ball I suppose on the touchline.

The_Steve Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Finished the game with 92% pass completion - 35/38 passes. Much improved performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) It's such a shame he doesn't have the legs to run through an entire defence, because his team won't help him. Edited September 16, 2022 by AV82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Was decent tonight and showed some flashed of what he can do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 He was ok at the very best. His bar must be so low now though that he can get away with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 He needs more attacking players in order to get the best out of him. He's a creator and all he has to work with is Watkins and Bailey, our full backs do not get forward and we have 3 CMs. This system does not suit him at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 He was class today. Had the fire in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I thought he was really poor in play and did some OK things from set pieces, football has just passed him by and why he isnt going to the World Cup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Not sure what people are impressed by. Credit to him for making that run that won us the corner from which he scored. That's about it. A few fancy flicks that led to nothing. Ran into defenders a couple of times. End product isn't there. Doesn't offer an out ball. Isn't impactful in keeping possession. What does he actually do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was first cross all night that cleared first man. It’s nowhere near vintage Coutinho but I thought he was the best of a bad bunch yesterday.

CVByrne Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 He was only attacking player trying to get something ging and he was the reason we scored. He got the header at back post which won the corner which he played short in a one two and put in a great ball for Ollie who got a good header on it and then Ramsey got rebound. Bailey and Watkins weren't going to create anything. Digne did create a chance down left with interplay with Coutinho. That's it for the game really. Good performance from Coutinho yesterday especially relative to the rest of the team. Hopefully he builds on this. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish people would focus on these points more rather than turning him into a scapegoat for Gerrard's tactical shortcomings. His quality is always there - I think it's been a question of fitness and confidence for him - and he can build on this performance absolutely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 In the post-match Gerrard said one of the reasons he brought Phil in was to show the likes of JJ what an elite player looks like in training and on the pitch, and what he should aspire to be. I think that's a super interesting and overlooked point many wilfully ignore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
