He's right up there.


Statistically he's been far better. Like I said, Coutinho is closer to Cazorla than Ozil, and Coutinho hasn't had a season like Cazorla's in 2012. He's also a more versatile player, and just ridiculously productive.

Coutinho is good, but to be fair he hasn't had a season equal to any of the Spanish playmakers in the EPL, and is honestly a tier below them.

Messi isn't a #10 IMO...

Also, many LFC fans Ive talked to think Coutinho is more of a #8 and would be better suited a little deeper.. When I want to compare Coutinho to a WC player, I usually think Iniesta (and no, I don't think he's on his level)..

Ok man. Fair enough.

He's also 23, still plenty of time. I don't think I ever said he was on their level, I personally value him higher though. It's typical bias so you can relax.

He'll be off to Barcelona before we see the best of him anyway.
