If Coutinho had a buy out clause and then one day out of the blue Barcelona came from nowhere and triggered it then I'd say yes fair enough, we were bounced into that and the club haven't had time to put any contingency plans in place.
But that wasn't the case though, they have known for months and months that Coutinho was leaving, they've had plenty of time to line up a replacement but they've decided to do nothing, that's what makes this all the more baffling.
Jurgen looked very subdued on the sidelines yesterday which is very unlike him, he almost seemed depressed in his post match interview as well which again is not like him at all.
I think it dawned on him last night that this season has the potential to go very pear shaped indeed, if the team at the very bottom can beat us by sitting deep and defending in numbers then let's face it anyone can.
