"Desperate" Philippe Coutinho criticized again after a bad performance at El Clasico

The gesture of Philippe Coutinho in Barcelona turns quickly into a nightmare after another horror show against Real Madrid.

The Brazilian – signed Liverpool last January for a club record of £ 146 million – has not settled in Spain and his performances have aroused strong criticism despite his club which has six points in advance over La Liga.

The Spanish press has long released the knives for the 26-year-old and things have deteriorated further after a lame performance at El Clasico on Wednesday night.

Coutinho has been criticized by journalists and fans on social media – many suggesting that it was its worst performance in 13 months in Catalonia.

Respect the Spanish Sport Ways website, the star becomes more and more FIND and its price is simply unjustifiable.

"The desperate performance of Coutinho says very little about the Brazilian," writes the journalist Lluis Mascaro.

"Coutinho has signed one of his worst games since coming to Barça, and that says a lot because he's been at a dismal level for a few months now.

"In the 60 minutes he's spent on the field, he's hardly come into play. And when he did, it was always choosing the worst option: the ball who reached the Brazilian was a lost ball.

"Three things that Coutinho was unable to do in a disturbing demonstration that he still did not resuscitate from his exasperating lethargy.

Coutinho has been in Barca for more than a year and his performance has gone by less and less. Become worse. And this is unjustifiable in a player who has cost 150 million euros.

"You react or you have to find an immediate exit in June.

"Before it's unsaleable."

Twitter has not simplified the task to the attacker.

A fan wrote, "If Coutinho got bigger today, we would have won.

Another said: "Get a coutinho psychologist.But I also think that he needs more reviews."

One of them said: "Coutinho has sleepwalking in another half of football, hard to say how much that frustrates me."
