I do find it weird how some people seem to almost be willing Coutinho to fail.
I think it's more people think that Emi offers more. As shown already today.
Perhaps but we have a tendency to be a bit black and white in all this. I remember when Emi was starting last year at the beginning of the season loads of people were saying he was hopeless, overpriced etc. Coutinho is a bloody good player, as literally shown two league games ago. Emi is also good and sometimes there’s merit in coming into a game once the pattern is set.
