Bayern Munich: Philippe Coutinho with poor performance
The loan player from FC Barcelona could not convince (tz grade 4) and was replaced by Thomas Müller. On Twitter, the followers did not leave the man with the number ten good hair. "Coutinho is so bad, I laugh at my ass," wrote one user. Another expressed it more formally: "Coutinho acts like an absolute foreign body".
In the newly mixed starting eleven with an unfamiliar three-piece structure, the Munich team revealed that the system changeover did not work 100 percent immediately. But Coutinho was still in the line of fire. “Coutinho is a nice-weather footballer. It drives me crazy ”or“ I really like Coutinho ... but that is once again underground today ”could be read in the comments.
Philippe Coutinho the right one for FC Bayern Munich? "Most overrated player in the league"
The soccer satire portal WUMMS considered the gag: "If Coutinho continues to play like this, Mamba will still be committed at half time". Mamba meant the striker of Paderborn's Streli Mamba, who repeatedly tried to spin through the Munich defensive chain with his attempts. "Coutinho is and remains one of the overrated players in the Bundesliga," wrote another about the appearance in the Allianz Arena *.
Someone even thought the Brazilian was a new superlative. "Bad, worse, COUTINHO," he commented. Another has sympathy with the midfielder *: "Coutinho is just so insecure ... I'm almost sorry. Ungrateful". And yet another made the comparison between the South Americans Coutinho and James. James went back to Real Madrid in the summer. He is on the Pro James page. "He would have cost significantly less with his exit clause and had more games at the top level," he summarizes.

- FC Bayern Munich (@FCBayern) February 21, 2020The fact is that Coutinho continues to be a shadow of his Liverpool days. He may need regular bets on his favorite position, the ten. But Thomas Müller has something against it that plays a very good season. Whether Coutinho can play against Chelsea is more than questionable. The record champion needs him, however, because the club has a say in all three title races *.
