The ridiculous of the FC Barcelona against the Liverpool has left a lot of signalled in the Barcelona group. From Jordi Alba until Luis Suárez, the big majority of members of the FC Barcelona disappointed and were not to the height of the party neither of the shield that defended. Neither it was well Ernesto Valverde, to the that a lot of fans already begin to argue after having fracasado in Europe two consecutive years.
Only some saved of burns it, but one of them is not Philippe Coutinho. The Brazilian was of the most distinguished of the meeting and his position in the FC Barcelona weakens even more if it fits after this fateful night. The '7' was in front of his big opportunity to show that had place in the Barça and that it could play like the big star that ficharon the blaugranas of the Liverpool in the market of wintry signings of the 2018. But once again it failed and it went of the most toneless of the team.
The mediapunta hardly contributed at all in the attack of the Barça in the hour that Valverde left him in the terrain of game. In the first-half was not so bad and even had an occasion to advance to the culés, but his compatriot Alisson took him out his shot with a good unemployed. That went practically his only contribution to the offensive game of the barcelonistas, further of some detail and some virguería no very useful that left.
If in the first time was insulso, in the second disappeared and almost did not touch the balloon. Besides, the little that touched did it with desacierto and lost several balls only by not going with the sufficient strength. The Liverpool tightened and he every time was shipwrecked more in the field, therefore the 'Txingurri' decided to substitute him by Semedo when it arrived the minute 60. The idea of the extremeño was to remove to a footballer that was not giving at all neither in attack neither in defence to put in the half to Sergi Roberto and reinforce the centre of the field.
Without Coutinho the Barcelona did not improve and the 'reds' culminated the traced back. But this does not save to the international by Brazil, that cost 140 million euros and had to be one of the leaders of the Barça in a moment so delicate like east. It could say that the '7' erased a night more and was missing him character to throw to his to the back and go to by the party against the Liverpool.
Coutinho Could go out in summer
This disaster joined to his already of by himself toneless campaign do that his future can be very far of the Camp Nou. The turn of Anfield had to be a turning point for him, so much for well as for bad. Finally it has been for bad and in the club could be already thinking in doing box with him in summer. Year and half after his signing remains clear that has not adapted and that has not been to the height of the circumstances. It remains him the final of Glass to try show that it still can be important in the Barça, but seems that it already is very late so that it change his delicate situation.
