we have far too many average to poor players in the side and today it showed. coutinho was closed down everytime same with suarez who hardly got any space and we struggled to create anything.
never thought we would ever be contenders for the league but even in a fight for 4th you cannot afford to throw away points against a side like that.
I've kept a close eye on Coutinho in recent games and there is no doubt the boy is quality but my only concern is when teams make it a real physical battle in midfield, like Villa, he really does dissapear from the game. Still a young lad and only been here for a year and confident that will improve as time goes by
