Coutinho’s been fucking terrible, looks like one of his off  games from 2013-2015.

It's funny. People used to say he'd fit Barcelona/La Liga like a glove. The reality is technically, he's quite average there, whilst in England he looked a level above everyone else. Truly a grass isn't greener situation.

He's also quicker than I had previously thought. As was said above, a Chelsea signing for a mega move to united on the cards next season as the irons will need the money so their owners can fund a few more pornos

Think i read he is a Chelsea fan and was there as a kid. I would say thats a nailed on transfer next season. Chelsea would be a much better team with him in it. 

 

United is always a likely destination for a young England international. Ole can make out that they bought Declan from a street vendor and he will need time, even if they pay 90 mil for him.

In England he could do it in bits. Flashes of great technique. He has to do it for 90 minutes for Barcelona.

 

Their main problem is in midfield, Busquets can barely walk.

True. It's a totally different requirement. Would say they lack a striker as well. Or anyone that can play in the middle of the attack.

Yes.

 

Well, Griezmann could do it but doesn't appear to be fancied. Same story with the previous manager.

 

But a front three of Messi, Griezmann and Fati (Dembele a decent option to come on), with a midfield of De Jong, Coutinho, and a powerful, quick central midfielder, should be pretty good. Need to sign that last player, obviously.

 

There was a period between about 65-75 minutes today where Koeman needed to make changes, both with personnel and tactics. Fati was making run after run in behind only to be ignored every single time. The few times Real Madrid did have the ball in the second half they looked like scoring every time they got it as they waltzed through the centre of midfield. Busquets had completely given up after about the hour mark. Koeman finally took him off after about 81/82 minutes.

 

Just staggeringly shit management.
