I could be wrong about that. Coutinho can still play a big part for us. Edited November 24, 2022 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his contract, we may as well try to see what a proper coach can do to a player who once was worth over £140 million. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted November 24, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) I feel he can succeed under UE, when he arrived he showed what he could do, we were having our only run of form under the previous regime. Then we faltered, negative tactics were employed, we gave up on trying to gain any control in periods of any match, PC was starved of the football, he came deeper and deeper for the ball, becoming more and more ineffectual until he was dropped. He is a quite and shy person from what I know, he thrives on confidence and what ever he had left was drained out of him by the previous regime. This might just sound too simplistic but he just needs to score a goal, that's it. He play in our FA cup tie and run amok. A happy PC will make us look even better.

I'd hope it's no longer than that.We should absolutely be taking the opportunity to drill in what Emery wants into the majority of the squad and try to get the benefit of this time without matches so close to his appointment. There's a lot of work to be getting on with. I remember Unai saying the players would get a week off. Seems fair to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie k Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I know im slightly off topic but i think these days for the most part they are all proper professionals. They have access to facilities we cant imagine and still maintain a level of fitness even if taking a holiday. Paul mc Grath managed it doing alot worse lol. It is an abnormal season too so the ususal expectations might not apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the very valid reasons for criticising Qatar don’t really come into the equation when choosing a place for a family holiday. Hot, sunny, extremely luxurious accommodation. If you can afford it lots of people will turn a blind eye to the morality of the place. It’s probably also very safe, particularly with the eyes of the world looking on. The morality of giving the World Cup to a country with zero football interest, zero human rights and with buckets of blood on it’s hands, so that it can wash those hands with a huge sporting event and all the positivity that can be gained whilst backed by people of vast wealth is the issue. People complain about human rights and are happy to wrap themselves in a cloak of morality when it suits them. Southgate claims he won’t be drawn into a “virtue signalling contest”, as he climbs off his knees. Not one significant country or person has made a proper protest once huge amounts of cash was waved in their face. 80 years ago young men fought and gave their lives against overwhelming odds in the face of tyranny to defend the freedom that we now enjoy. Now once again in the desert we won’t even wear an armband when threatened with a booking. Take a knee not a pay cut. What’s the odds Southgate doesn’t end up managing in the Middle East if the feckless FA ever sack him? Apologies for being slightly off topic. I’m sure Philip Coutinho is a very nice man and can still be, under a proper coach, a great asset to us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Bruyne is 31, Fabihno is 29, Eriksen is 30 and Thiago is 31 and they are all playing at the top of the PL. If Emery can make him click he could be one of the best midfielders in the England again. For me, there is no doubt he has the talent, but he needs players around him, who can do the things he can't, like the ugly stuff. He is a diamond......but like a ring, they have to be set in a cluster. With the right players around him, PC can still be a real asset... He is not a marathon runner, like Gallagher, or an all action all rounder like Bellingham.....but he is a game changer, in the right set up. I am not sure Phil is a 90 minuter....as he will tire and become a passenger, but as a weapon in a squad, very much so. Phil is also an easy target for the bully boys, all the more reason to have them negated, by one of our own. Phil is a rare breed, like Solano or Le tissier, they are not employed to do the hard yards, they are piano players, not piano carriers.....deployed right, Phil can still feature in our games. If anyone, will know this its Unai......If he doesn't fancy him, I will bow to his better judgement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
