After Brighton he did come over to the away fans but didn't look very happy. After Saints and again last night he walked straight off down the tunnel without acknowledging the fans or joining the other players. Should we be worried about this or am I reading too much into it?He wants to play every 90 minutes. Can't blame him for being upset when he's lost his place even when playing well.

I love Emi too. He's also got to remember that there's no guarantee Coutinho will still be here in three months time so he should be using this time to learn as much from him as possible so if he's the main man again next season he's even better for it.

Good point.
This guy absolutely has to play. We looked a different team with him on the pitch pulling the strings.

I imagine that's Bailey done for the season, so no reason Buendia shouldn't start against Burnley.[/quote)I’m not saying it’s the right decision but doubt he’ll start because Ings replaced bailey, did very well and he won’t drop Coutinho.
He is so tenacious as well. I really like him.
