Coutinho has above average technical quality, but below average game reading, which doesn't help him exploit the former at full potential. Body orientation when receiving the ball is very often wrong, closed, doesn't help turn & go forward. Even more problematic in small spaces.

Dembélé had +/- the same prblm (but it's a bit less problematic when you're a winger). Both solve those complex situations thanks to their technical skills, but they shouldn't even have to do it had they positioned adequately, w/ right body orientation.

Griezmann, Dembélé, Coutinho. 1 has to go. Gr7 is the key to the post-Messi Barça. OD, despite all his flaws, is young & has rare combination of qualities, I can understand giving him another chance. Hope Coutinho has a good season just so Barça can sell him for a fair price.
