Philippe Coutinho

Cou is the type of player that should be on the pitch to make our best player look world class. Aka Sturridge and Suarez... He shouldn't be our best player on the pitch

Say what!?

 

Considering Coutinho has little to no movement in front of him, its a bit hard for him to make the killer pass right now.

[jimmycase]

Second that. He was poor today, again, and needs some time on the bench.

 

Utter bollocks. I seriously wonder about some of our fans, I really do.

Eh? He's not. And he isn't.

 

[mouse1989]

If Cou is your best player, someone who's a genius but gets between 6-8 goals and 10 assists, than you're struggling to break the top 4

 

Normally our best player gets 20 plus goals. Torres, Suarez, Gerrard.

 

A fully fit Sturridge will get 20 goals, and will be our best player. This would make Cou look a much better player

Wish I was called Phillippe.

The famous French leisure footwear magnate, Phillipe Floppe, definitely didn't go short.

In what way is Coutinho a luxury player? He's one of the hardest working players in the team.

Both he and Lallana are luxury players because their main job is goal and chance creation and neither are doing either at present. All the players are working hard but working hard is what you expect them to do at least. I want to see a lot more quality and end product than either are producing.

I imagine that the manager feels the same.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Does anyone think either Coutinho or Lallana are match fit? They both look about 50/60% to me.

I read somewhere that our players would struggle under Klopp because Rodgers' fitness regime was aimed at them becoming fitter in the second half of the season, but Klopp's was to have them go straight out of the traps.

If you're talking about the league those stats you've listed on Coutinho are beyond his career best performance over a season so far.

Coutinho is our best and most talented player by an absolute mile, fair enough he's been utter dog shit lately, he deserves a bit of slack from the fans too, when he's playing shit he doesn't hide, he still wants the ball and has a go. He works very hard for a "luxury" player too.

 

Whoever said to play him as the midfield 2 is right, he played his best games for us when played deeper with Sterling as the number 10.

 

Him with a proper DM would probably work, Firmino Sturridge and Henderson would be the 3 I'd play in behind Benteke. Henderson and Firmino doing the wide pressing pinning their full backs right back.

It all makes sense now..

I think if that were the case, by season 4 I would have risked ramping up whatever it was that got ramped up a little earlier in the season.

I'm sorry, that doesn't make them luxury players.

[therevivalist]

Something ain't right about the boy lately; could be the Barcelona talk, fatigue or any number of factors. Coutinho could be a special player on his day. But he has been inconsistent. Whether he will be able to show his talent on a consistent basis for us only time will tell. My hope is he will stay and thrive under Klopp.

Yes, Lucas for now until an upgrade is bought. That team is a hell of a lot better than the one we've had playing recently.

 

In relation to his Dortmund teams, Lucas would be Bender. Coutinho/Sahin or Gundagun.

[TheHowieLama]

If you had to go all in now on a last bet would you say LFC or Coutinho will be playing in the CL first?

[Jairzinho]

Coutinho will definitely be playing Champions League football next season. We have a small chance of doing so.

Based on that logic all our players are luxury players. After all their job is to win games no?

[VladimirIlyich]

The jobs of Coutinho and/or Lallana are quite specific,create or set up scoring chances,no?

Yes most of our players are luxury players due to most being pretty ordinary,but thats a separate issue here.

[TheHowieLama]

If they are all luxury players he is by far the most luxurious

I think the frustration with Coutinho at present is because we can see that he is a very talented and skillful player but isnt showing it in recent weeks. Loads of talent but struggling to show it.

 

Maybe its just a confidence thing and once we win a game or two he will get back into his stride?

No panic needed yet.

[Boss]

I fucking hate Barcelona. Just putting that out there.
