Different type of midfielders completely, but Barkley is much more inconsistent than Coutinho. Ross has a good shot and is good/powerful at running with the ball but hr goes missing a lot and to me he seems to have little to no game intelligence. Maybe that will come.

Coutinho is Liverpool's best player and can be genuinely world-class one day if he can add goals to his game and continue to improve.

He was one of the few to come out with any credit on Saturday, what with him being banned and all.

I see Barkley as a bit of a luxury player at the moment. Someone who is on the edge of games the majority of times but has the ability to change any game in a moment with a piece of brilliance only few are capable of. For our national teams sake I hope he kicks on and finds more consistency in his game, and that goes for Oxlade-Chamberlain too.

Barkley seems to play better for England than Everton, which is rare.

Why are people obsessed with comparing players that are completely different to each other? Barkley is obviously much more of a powerful player, and quicker, while Coutinho is much better technically and generally uses the ball much better.

A much better and fair comparison to Coutinho would be someone like Santi Carzorla.

I know i wouldn't start such a thread it's just sad..........but being as it is here i might as well respond to your post. I agree Barkley is more powerful but he also scores more and creates more goals. Countinho has scored 1 flukey goal and Ross has scored 2 and created 4........do the maths !

I voted for Barkley ( i know i know) he looks unplayable at times and his consistency is improving. I can't see Countiho improving more than the level he is, he looks good in a bad bunch............but thank god we have him.

Please let him stay for at least the end of season.
Now I know your Spear on an alt account - mods!!! ;)

Only judging by the games I'm seen them play in the flesh I would go Coutinho.
Just think the lad oozes class. I think Barkley is a good player, but wouldn't get the same rep if he wasn't English.

I think both are overrated.

Coutinho is *way* more overrated though.

Actually I probably didn't go far enough when I wrote this. Barkley is twice the player that Coutinho is.

Coutinho must be better than Ronaldo in the games i don't watch him in to balance out the games i've seen him in because every game i've seen him play he's looked on about the level of Cleverley on a poor day.

He still outperformed Barkley and only put in a 4/10 performance. Next.
