VillaChris Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 3 hours ago, Zatman said: Dropped from the Brazil squad Part of joining us was to get match fit for that so will be interesting to see his motivation now. I'd actually start him v Southampton as that game last season was his best 90 minutes for us by a mile so if he can't do anything it would suggest he's done as regular starter and he should be more of impact sub.

Might not be great for player morale. Players obviously not blameless in this. This is a real concern. Coutinho not making the WC would take away any motivation he’s had.

Luiz won't be going most likely, neither will Buendia or Konsa. Mings is doubtful, and Watkins and Ings will miss out. Not even sure Digne will be picked on current form, they have options. Kamara might be picked but the competition is ridiculous for him. Cash, Martinez and maybe Dendoncker and Bednarek will go but there is a fair few players who would have been hopeful at the start the season that won't be going.

WHY Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Coutinho hasn’t been great but neither has Buendia when he has started. I don’t think the formation helps either of them, they get starved of the ball in areas they should be operating in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a blessing in disguise, in some ways. They have fantastic performances in the World Cup and the big boys get interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, when he is not really at it he still puts himself about a bit - Coutinho, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't get picked for the World Cup, get pissed off because we're so shit and choose to leave for better options. Goes both ways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might have something to do with the number of games Coutinho and Buendia have played.Quite often I have noticed that Buendia comes on with 30minutes to go and puts in a better performance than Coutinho.

Goes both ways. Indeed it does. And there is definitely a danger of that particular scenario happening with us at the moment if performances don't pick up.

Depends on who you ask and what angle we are trying to play at any given time. If it's to slate the club or Management then he's technically an " Olympic winning Brazilian International " to go along with our " Scottish Captain International " , " Polish International " , " French Internationals " , our " Copa America winning Argentinean Internationals" and " England Internationals " etc. By right we should be winning the World Cup. Without angle you are correct though. lol Edited September 11, 2022 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I don't think he was "brilliant", but he showed flashes of what he can do, which is more than he's done all season. More of that please. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
