He made mistakes in that game definitely, but at least I've seen him have good games and he gets involved. Paulinho is literally a ghost most of the time. I tuned in at 12 mins and I didn't even realise he was on the pitch till about 25 mins in.

Hurts me to say it but we'll go nowhere if we're relying on him to be first choice in our midfield next season. If he's gonna be involved so little he needs to score 10-15 goals.

Fernandinho has been utter shit the entire tournament besides 1 good sub appearance. Paulinho has been better his last 3 appearances.

He wasn't that far away from the standard you set him, particularly he had not been a regular last season.

Paulinho trying to play a perfect 1-2 with a good pass to I think Jo and a clever run into the box. Jo just passes immediately back to Willian instead of playing the 1-2. Stupid.

Paulinho looks unfit. Hopefully he gets a rest before TRIPLE sessions with Poch

To be fair he had no outlet on the right.

Good bit of play by Paulinho. Made a tackle forcing Holland to lose the ball(which they recovered). Tracked back and retained the ball when Holland lost it up the pitch and dribbled it up the pitch. Should have passed it though instead of running with it to the opposite side. But in fairness to him, he didnt really have an outlet.

And I think that's the problem. Sadly he's now going to be straight back into another season.

Does he still get 2 weeks off since he is returning from the WC?

Not sure. Depends if they expect him to be part of the US tour or not. If they do he'll probably be heading straight to the US.
