Philippe Coutinho

[LFC 6 Times]

He's honestly one of the best footballers I've ever had the pleasure of watching but he needs to start hitting the back of the net on a regular basis, a man of his talent should aim for at least 10 plus goals a season, still fucking love Cou mind.

[El Dangerous]

Another one of our players who would turn it up a notch if he had better players around him. Watching him try and play with Balotelli earlier in the season was like watching Suarez try and play with Carroll.

This has been the rap against him since he was at Vasco, where they called him the Little Prince.

 

Just doesn't score enough. That and the fact that sometimes he looks like a futsal player.

[Ginny]

I acknowledged that his shooting needs to improve. But he's what, 21, 22? Give the kid a break.

True this. He is young. Plus Lazar, sterling, hendo, Sturridge, can, Moreno.

 

I mean, are any of these players over 25?

[Philbert]

Wonderful player running at defences with the ball but does he do anyone elses head in the way he tries to play these impossibly precise balls so close to opposition players that it nearly always hits them. Also he would rather hold onto the ball and lose it 30 yards from goal if there isnt a pass on than play the ball up the pitch 50 yards.

As I said hes a fantastic player and we need someone to take risks with the ball sometimes but I do find him very frustrating as well.

You could be describing Luis Garcia, there.

[Boss]

He reminds me a lot of Pablo Aimar at Valencia.

I have skimmed through the 200-page thread, which makes a interesting read. At the beginning, Inter fans are mad happy. They're assured they've signed the next Kaka. Something that, just in a few days, turns into crazy excessive expectations. The young lad is compared to Zidane, Zico and Pelé from a bunch of Youtube clips. Coutinho still impresses in his first match, with a good eye for the game, excellent first touch on the ball and tidy passing game.

When the league debut emerges he is undeniably to lightweight, falling to the ground to often and "lacking Patos end product" (he is consistently compared with Milan's Pato). He gets less and less playing time, and in addition, he soon picks up an injury which sees him sidelined for three months.

After the injury, he's back, straight out of a Milanese spors gym, 10 pounds heavier, pure muscle.

The next indication is that he's in fact a very good player, one of the few that offers Inter little creativity. Self-confidence is not the best though, and Rafa's game clicks. What often happens, with Coutinho as their only creative player, is that he is marked out of matches.

Rafa's soon fucked off and Coutinho get less playing time. Fans are upset. Suddenly Coutinho is loaned out to Spanish Espanyol, and things start to move in the right direction. He scores five goals in something like fifteen matches. In addition to that he's voted man of the match two times. Please note that the guy just arrived at a new club, and is still only 19-20 years.

Just in time for the Coutinhos big comeback, the Inter fans learns that he most likely is for sale. This pisses them off full-time since the've waited patiently, year after year, to see him flourish in the club.

They can't believe he is for sale. Some of them wants to riot, others are tired of the whole saga and ready to get rid just to stop debating Coutinho.

Like some weird game involving us Suso coutinho and the two milan clubs or summat

Bump.

 

The kid has been different gravy the last while.

 

Love him.

[Stickman]

Wonderful player has his off days as this type of player always will but I think they would be less and less if he had quality forwards to pass to on a regular basis.

i don't think I've ever seen someone who can dribble past people like he does from a standing start....

And the best thing for me is he doesn't disappear if he starts to get kicked

[Gym Beglin]

So talented.

So shit at scoring.

 

If there's one thing that would improve Coutinho by 10%, it's toe-poking shots. He'd get instant power on it and get shots away quicker and might score.

[Josef Svejk]

I thought he was really good last night against very difficult opposition. Our best attacking player by far. I even noticed Mourinho having a friendly chat with him on the sideline, which is quite the complement from that cynical motherfucker...

I also thought that was one of his better, more measured finishes last night, but a brilliant save...

[VladimirIlyich]

Supremely talented and if Sterling was sold would most likely be put into his role.

Needs more goals and that will come with increased confidence.

Can't wait to see him linking up with Sturridge again

[RoboRiise]

I love watching him.  Magic feet.

[Megadrive Man]

Can't wait to see him linking up with Sturridge again

 

I really hope we can get a front four of Sturridge,Sterling ,Coutinho and Lallana in the team for a while. It could be even better than last season!

[ZonkoVille77]

I like Phil, I really do. But why the fuck can't he find the goal with his shots? Sick of him hitting it like a 4 year old girl. He is a magic player and it is the only thing preventing him from being world class.

[bouncebrigade]

Give it a rest about Coutinho's shooting. It's tedious and not even entirely accurate. If you're talking last night, he forced a good save off his weaker foot. He often tests keepers with his shots. I can recall some important goals he has scored over the last few years.

 

Having a rocket of a shot isn't a necessity to be world class. Think the little Spanish magicians for a start.

[ratcatcher]

Ah, something else for the fuckwits to complain about.

[Baltar]

Played brilliantly again yesterday.

[El Dangerous]

I reckon once Barce are allowed to buy players again they'll be right in for him. Cunts.

[Ted]

I'd pay money to watch him kick a ball against a brick wall; a fucking great player.

[Jairzinho]

I reckon once Barce are allowed to buy players again they'll be right in for him. Cunts.

 

Iniesta on roids.

[billypilgrimnz]

Ah, something else for the fuckwits to complain about.

 

How's the Sakho thread coming along, you mong?

[Jurgens Red Army]

Close to signing a new deal according to the echo
