Farlz Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Absolute dog shit. Another awful performance to go with the other 98% of his games. Get him gone for good and stop trying to think he’ll come good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 He is done. I want him not to be but he is. No pace or strength. Stupid hip wiggles. And cannot shoot any more. **** atrocious performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 If he can't whip shots on target from outside the box anymore, what does he have? Even in his prime he wasn't a key pass monster. I hate to even think it, but he looks done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 A shadow of his former self. you see glimpses of what he can do but there’s more apathy and lack of urgency on show from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they showed him on the bench after being subbed off he knows it too He's done, even if his body could keep up with the pace of the league (which it can't) his heads gone Should leave for his own good let alone ours 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 He was poor today but at least he tried to make things happen. That’s more that can be said for Bailey who was next level garbage. Im coming to the conclusion that he just won’t work here, as much as I’ve persisted with thinking he can be good for us. I still think he’s better than Buendia and Bailey but then I think they’re both rubbish too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 The body language when Coutinho was subbed told us quite alot, even he looked like he's started to realise that perhaps he might be done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that chap, when he was on the bench, almost looked upset at his performance. I can't stop thinking, is it really him though, or is it that no one is good enough, or has the vision to receive a quick pass from him, so he is having to try play a different style. I have seen so many times the run in the box and no one on the 1-2. Or he gives it a bit of skill and dinks it with no player even attempting to get on it. It'd get pretty frustrating if you have skills but everyone around you is piss poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can shift the ball and wallop it. That's it. That's how he made the name. Now he can shift the ball...and drag his arse to try and wallop it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was rubbish at Bayern and Barcelona too. He just isn't half as good as people seem to think he is and his legs are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I think there's a bit of that. If he could move it quickly and have some quick 1-2s I think he'd look better. He was definitely the busiest looking player today, alongside Sanson, but his shooting was absolutely shite. I also think he may have had a shout for a couple of pens. I haven't seen anything on TV, but it looked like he was barged over once in each half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 At the end of the day he was picked today to 'pick the lock' against a deep-lying League 2 side who were always going to play 5 at the back, and he didn't do it. I actually think he was worse than Bailey; Bailey kept messing up the final ball or the shot but he was harder to handle. With Coutinho you just need to get him to come on to his right 5-10 yards outside the area and you can rely on his muscle memory taking over and then missing the goal completely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvonVillain Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 We simply have too many players, like Coutinho, where there's only so long you can hope they eventually start playing consistently or even reasonably well. Mid-table teams are full of players who mostly look poor except for odd flashes of brilliance. When even the odd flashes disappear, it's time to move them on regardless of who they once were.

maqroll Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 It's like he has an untreated iron deficiency. Really low energy. Seems like he doesn't even enjoy playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 10 shots from outside the box in the game today and the closest was from a stevenage player which clipped our bar. All of ours were miles off target. Its frankly unbelievable.

Like JPA all over again, he was too good for those around him and often tried to do too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t remember seeing a moment when a player realised, publicly, that he was done. It was a weird thing to witness: his expression and body language certainly looked like he knew. As a Villa fan, I’m trying to think of when a player of ours had a watershed ‘I’m done’ moment. It’s sad, but I think it’s over for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
