Pirlo isn't an attacking player though. :sigh:

No, he's not but he's also been on free kicks and penalties for years.
Right, look at Iniesta, never the highest goals or assists but he's always been top class. 102 games for Barcelona and he's got 12 goals.
David Silva is another, 33 goals in 160 games.
Give Cou another 80 games in our shirt and I guarantee his tally will be above 33.
David Beckham never had great goal stats.

Coutinho is quite obviously not anywhere near world class yet. He has more average games than good ones over the course of a season but he is the only player we have who has the potential to maybe become world class but he'd have to step it up quite a bit.

With some quality around him his progression would be so much quicker but like you say,he's too inconsistent atm .

Doom and gloom thread at a time when we are hoping for quality players to come in over the summer!

Are you implying that BR is a better manager than Jose and Benitez?

Not sure about that, I saw him very good in his first half season with us, then he dropped somewhat after getting injured in the Swansea game, then came good at the end of our title challenge season. In the last season he was quite bad in the first half then improved in the second half. He is as good as when he arrived with more maturity as he got experienced and he is still not consistent enough IMO.

no didnt say that i said i believe he improved coutinho and other players including suarez and henderson for me , but some haven't improved, but if people cant give any credit if it due then that is just pathetic , BR hasnt done everything wrong but to some he is the devil incarnate which is very very wrong .
