Philippe Coutinho

[Funkasy]

Having lallana on the bench would be a good thing, we might actually have someone coming of it that can change the game and challenge the other players, Coutinho has plenty of stinkers so lallana should get allot of playing time.

[Captain]

continue to be wrong Grinch, it makes me smile.  Klopp, like Pochettino, knows how important Lallana is to our team. An Iniesta, as Pochettino has called him.  A genuine two footed player with vision and great technique who can accept the ball in the tightest of situations and retain it.  

 

Am I the only one who reads this post like a poem?

I like Lallana, but come on Stringy...

 

Thierry Henry once compared one of our full backs to Roberto Carlos. I'll leave it to you to work out which one.

 

Football manager/pundit in overblown praise shocker.

 

 

I'm only reporting what was said.  

[stringvest]

Bwahahahahahahahaha.

 

Welcome back snowdrop.  The flounce countdown clock has been reset and is ticking again.

[Pureblood]

Hahahahaha. Iniesta. Hah.

[TheHowieLama]

to the tune of Cielito Lindo (the frito bandito) 

 

Aye yay yay yay

He is the great Lallana

He receive the ball face away from goal

He turns and he turns then away he goes

Aye yay yay yay

He is the great Lallana

If Pochettino had said he was whatever the Spanish equivalent of a Mezzala nobody would have had a problem, but the intention was the same.

 

I don't think he was comparing quality but the type of player and positions they occupy on the pitch.

[stringvest]

of course we will need someone in that area of the pitch as all we've heard all season is that Barcelona are undoubtedly going to come and whisk Coutinho away in the summer. 

[TheHowieLama]

I heard that Coutinho had a meeting to seal the deal to Barca earlier this month but he didnt show up that day....

[Jairzinho]

Origi was due to pick him up.

[Boss]

Xavi himself said Lallana is his favourite current England player.

actually Pochettino said he has the skills of Iniesta, Xavi and Fabregas.  A bit like Klopp who recently said he may well be the most skilful player he has managed.  I know most people on here don't rate him, but as I've said before, most people aren't good judges.

Yep.

[Ne Moe Imya]

I can't recall too many occasions where he played in a 3, but he was excellent in a diamond midfield with Sterling at the top and Suarez and Sturridge up front.

 

I'd really like to see us try that again, think we have the personnel for it still with Mane and Firmino up top and then Coutinho right behind them at the top of a diamond.  Could play Hendo at the base and Can and Gini on the sides.  Or Can at the base and Keita - Coutinho on the sides, with Firmino at the tip and then Mane and a new striker up top (after the summer on that one, obviously).

 

I'm just going to go ahead and take total tactical credit for this victory.  Obviously, Klopp's been reading my posts.

[Grinch]

Little magician again showing he's our best player by a country mile.

Stringy fuming

[Thoth]

If he does go to Barca is he worth more than Suarez? With the way football has gone and he is way better than Pogba and Bale

[Hades]

Has never been a wide forward. Always an 8 or 10.

[Herp McDerp]

Poundshop Lallana Iniesta.

[El Rojo]

His name was in all three of Brendan's empty envelopes.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

He's quite good.

[Tj hooker]

Bang on it today

[Pureblood]

Great performance from Adam Iniesta today.

[Paco]

If he was that good all the time he'd be in the Suarez bracket. He's not that good but he is getting better and better.

[ZonkoVille77]

Great performance in his last away appearance for the club.
