he has got worse every season he has been at Liverpool

2012/13: 2 goals 8 assists, (half a season, came in at jan)

2013/14: 5 goals 8 assists, (improvement? not really)

2014/15: 1 goal 1 assist (17 appearnces so far... shocking)


for me he should be no way near the starting 11

MYTH

How many world class creative players could be threading through balls through to Rickie Lambert?????

Coutinho relies on strikers making runs for him to create opportunities.

When you have strikers at you club that wouldn't start for West Brom, it makes players like Coutinho completely useless.

Not the fault of Coutinho, that we blew 130m on a total load of crap. I will judge his performances the day Sturridge starts week in week out. I can assure you, you will see a completely different player.

Fully agree, he's best at threading though balls for pacy strikers with good movemnent, but at the minute everything is too static for that type of play to work

I think the term 1 good game in 3 matches comes to mind when talking about Coutinho. The problem with him is that he isn't getting the game time that he deserves. He's shown glimpses of a great player, but he's not going to progress unless he gets more matches under his belt and is played in the correct position..

Frankly Couthino is the least of our worries.


Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.

We have to fix this attacking mid issue - it's top priority. Our defence is suddenly leaking less goals - but we huff and puff to no avail at the other end.
To whom may I ask?

That's more the problem for me. Without Sturridge and Suarez they have no one making runs for them, no one tying up defenders to help create space. A proper striker is a must in January.
