Coutinho only belongs to the middle! Has no business playing in attack, zero pace, reason why I'll never blame him... Only one person to blame.

Well said. Velverde needs to learn how to use his midfielders maximally in the middle and not this way which is automatic 10 players

IKON360:
move him to the middle so he will bench who? Confusion eh

You will reckon he continues playing his rubbish as a winger? Loooooooool

Put him anywhere, he will still play rubbish

The earlier we start giving more game time to malcom and alena at the expense of that fool, the better for us

Hahahaha... I wan choke abeg, but it's true tho.

Coutinho has been this poor playing in the middle? No! He'll never have the legs to play on the wings just like what mou was trying to do with Mata at united... No, it'll never work consistently... those players doesn't have the legs, the lungs to play there...

even Alena is a better midfielder than Coutinho. If we had younger midfielders and maybe a Kante like midfielder, we could risk him in the middle but as it is now, let him continue as a winger

cumz:
Coutinho is not a winger
He’s not Neymar
He’s not dembele
Malcom playing way better than him

Move him back to the middle, the iniesta role!

he's not better than Arthur in the middle, and he doesn't contribute to the defensive play so either Vidal or Rakitic have to play also.

Coutinho has to improve. He's been really disappointing. I'd fancy having him as Iniesta someday, Arthur as Xavi and De Jong as Busi.

Suarez is a dead striker, can't mark, can't shoot, can't dribble, can't make attacking runs. He literally killed lots of our attacking moves today because of his lack of his intelligence to either control the ball well or terrible positioning. Even though we drew, it is like we lost because Madrid didn't play jack. To all those cules which say he makes dummy runs, can you now see what a dummy he is?? I dey vex

exactly, replacing Iniesta is not by mouth. Iniesta was virtually impossible to mark, an exceptional passer and an even more exceptional dribbler that once played as left wing forward under Guardiola. If Iniesta was dribbled, he will still mark you till you pass. So Coutinho is a long way from replacing Iniesta

Rakitic I don't have a problem with, but Vidal? I don't even see his virtual defensive contributions, only when it's time to pick up a yellow. Thing is with Valverde, i think we would never have seen Xavi, Iniesta n Busi in the middle, he would have surely favours Y.Toure or even S.Keita ahead of Busi or someone in that midfield. He has a fixed picture in his mind, the way he wants his midfield.... I've never ever seen him play with 3 fluid passers in the middle...gidigbo coach... I don't care about CDR tho...

Nobody here should blame Malcom for losing the 1on1 because he redeemed himself with a fantastic display all capped with a goal but can someone, I mean anyone here tell me one nice thing Suarez did?? Because thunder wey go fire that guy ehhhh

and you brought your vex to nairaland? Enter keke go to Spain, use axe and cut off his legs, if Suarez was this bad, how was Coutinho?

Coutinho should go and rest abeg. It's as though, he's being forced to play. Lose possession, won't press to retrieve the ball.

He's rich man Rafinha right now.

Arthur, Busi, Rakitic and Messi are our best passers. Is there anyone else I don't know of?

Lol. Valvershit. Once a shït, always a shît.

So you want to tell me you didn't see the bullshit your dummy run player played today?? And mentioning Countinho with Luiz in the same sentence is a disrespect to all the effort Phillipe put in today's game not also forgetting he isn't a natural wingee or is Luis not a natural striker??

I don't like that Messi had to come on. He didn't seem very fit. It's unfortunate that Suarez and Coutinho were far below their best.

I like Malcolm's passion, he should start ahead of Coutinho in future games. Semedo impressed me yet again, very confident and sharp on the ball. That's a future best RB in the world.

I miss Dembele.

Just bare it in mind that if you come in contact with mediocrity, it affects you. Free coutinho jare

Coutinho and isco wetin be the difference?


Abeg sell this shakushaku player for 100m joorh....malcom better pass am.

Malcom impressed me today...Motm with semedo and pique

Roberto has no business starting in any position in this team again.

I'm surprised he struggled, normally for the better part of 3 years, it is competitions like this he likes showing himself in. Maybe sh*t is sinking even deeper!

lol. Suarez is an off and on player. Having lots of off days lately though, but on his day, he's a beast.

I think he has just gotten old and slow.

Yeah, Madrid was totally beatable. The result was disappointing.

Someone said Roberto is a better RB than Semedo... I just keep laughing each time I see both play.

Coutinho just dey play thrash for wing.


To think some people were calling suarez the best striker in Europe because of his goals

Asin the difference is like night and day...roberto is just better at creating scoring chances but at what cost?

Our prority signings next season shoukd be a backup lb, de ligt and a world class potential striker...it will be a miracle if we win ucl with suarez in the starting lineup.


I would prefer a front three of malcom, messi and dembele

Olamyyde:

which scoring chances? How many assists does he have? Create 5, let in 10! Very poor RB. Semedo is way better than him jare.

I think he likes Vidal for his work rate.

But then Coutinho doesn't contribute defensively either. He doesn't give us many options going forward, and it's not like he can keep possession. I know he's better than that, but for now it's unlikely he can edge any of the other midfielders.

E get as dis match be jare...

Luis can stay for more 3 years, I don't have any Problem with that as far as he doesn't play UCL matches at all. He's an UCL disgrace.

agreed. Pique was solid today. Lenglet was poor and our defense still needs Umtiti.
