Over Fabregas who had 17 or 18 assists. Coutinho had a few good games right around when they sent envelopes.

I'm just mad because City, the team who finished 2nd, didn't have anyone at all in the team of the year. Aguero is the worst omission,but Silva/Hart were great too.

Lol, my friend. Coutinho is an effeminate white Brazilian and not very good. Yes he occasionally bangs in a sick upper 90 net slam from outside traditional dz-sibot zones, but Caitlin Jenner is a freaking Men's Olympic Decathlon Gold Medalist so weird poo poo happens with sports sometimes.

All of what Ewar Woowar said, but also Coutinho has the advantage of not being a mental case like Sterling.

What's he done that's mental? Leaving Liverpool seems pretty sane imho

He had Mangala, Grandpa Demichelis, and the remains of Kompany ahead of him, and still kept more clean sheets than anyone else

Oh word? Perhaps he can trade in some of these clean sheets for the ability to make easy reaction saves?

Yeah he did that too though. Hart was shaky two seasons ago but was pretty great last season. Maybe try talking about Dzeko because he was poo poo last season and is probably getting sold to Roma.

This would be a good move.

Coutinho is a good player, but not nearly as good as Liverpool fans make him out to be. Sterling will do well at City and will ultimately be the better player.

De Gay was utter poo poo at the start of the season and is still as bad at dealing with crosses and set pieces as Joe Fart is at reaction saves.

What makes you think that? Sterling is good and is more than just a pace merchant but he still relies on it an awful amount. Coutinho for me has way more potential as he's got far more of a football brain. As long as he doesn't go the BrazilIan route of getting fat and partying too much I think he'll be incredible.

Fabregas, Ozil, Silva, Sigurdsson, Eriksen... All better than Coutinho. Coutinho is good for like 4 games a year.

Put it this way, Coutinho had the greatest striker in the world in front of him, and Sturridge scoring 20 goals or whatever next to that guy, and he got like 7? 8 assists? Yep.

Less than Cazorla had this year.

Yeah but what was his DzSiboT?

Assists are a retarded measurement. Remember this classic assist by our mate Big Joze

Try actually watching Liverpool play rather than looking at stats. Everything goes through Coutinho.

counting assists is stupid because you're just looking at the previous kick of a move. It's disheartening to see trp posters bang on about them. Cuntiniho is a really exciting player imo, he makes things happen.

if we're going to discount assists on the basis of "there are other things that make this thing happen" then we should do the same with goals.


but by all means, if you want to think Coutinho is team of the year material for being absent and irrelevant in tons of games but smashing in a couple screamers go ahead.

Chris Brunt had the third most assists in the league last season.

Seen him plenty of times over the years, he's not that good. Has some great moments of individual skill from time to time but that's it as of right now. He can still improve obviously as far as consistency.

But we've seen him paired with great forwards and poo poo forwards and he wasn't a big difference maker in either case, so... . I know times are hard for liverpool fans and you're upset it happens.

I can't really say anything other than tell you this is wrong and has no basis in reality tbh. Play goes through him so much, it's not "individual skill" that he's getting judged on. You seem to think that scoring the odd screamer every five months is why people like him (because you don't watch Liverpool games), that side of his game becoming good was a complete surprise and it's an entirely separate bonus to the qualities that made the fans love him.

Hes one of those players that looks good with the ball but when you have a proper look at him and realise he's not tracking back or defending and leaving huge gaps for the opposition to walk through you understand.

This mentality is why people think that Rooney is any good when in fact he's poo poo but runs a lot and scores a screamer every so often
