The season is coming close to end and I still can't figure out what I am doing wrong - I need your help.
I am playing with Liverpool and I'm in the second season. In the first season Coutinho was a beast, winning games on his own and scoring 21 goals in 29 games. He had an average of 7.61 and ended the season with 9 assists and 6 POM. He carried us to a title challenge against Arsenal but towards the end of the first season we dropped points, which was no coincidence. We were basically playing youth players because all of Pools glass players were long-term injured.
Then second season came and Coutinho became rubbish, and I am not talking about average Joe - I am talking average Joe drinking two bottles of Vodka and then stepping onto the pitch trying to his standard routines. I wanted to play someone else but all my glass players were still made of glass so I was "forced" to play him unless I wanted to throw out my blueprint.
I have tried warning him and each time he admits he's a sad clown that will be a more entertaining clown. In January I got fed up and sent him to my youth team but he came crying and didn't think he was as sad of a clown as he was so I set him back in first team. I have tried playing him with the reserves but to no avail. I have benched him, I have tried not him off games when he's doing his thing in hope he would do a fluke goal, and I have tried pulling him off so that he doesn't play when he's not in form. We have played 29 games thus far in the league and he has participated in 19 of those, scoring twice, making one assist and averaging 6.93.
I have not changed any tactics, it is basically the same team, new advanced playmaker (support) with Dele Alli instead of Grujic and a new keep that joined in January. But that's it.
I am willing to do anything and I'm all ears. I am doing something wrong but I cannot see or understand it.
I can't upload images of tactics etcetera, don't know why. So I will add another post and see if I can add some.
