Barkley by some distance. Coutinho is way too flakey for me.
very poor effortI find it staggering how overated Barkley is by such a vast amount of people. People said the same about Lallana when he played for a small club. You can guarantee if Barkley moved to a big club like Liverpool, Chelsea, United then he's suddenly become overhyped in a lot of people's eyes.
What is?very poor effort
Admittedly, Barkley wasn't great last season but by flakey I meant in a single match situation. Coutinho drifts in and out of almost every match, as opposed to Barkley who is at least capable of taking a game by the scruff of its neck. Coutinho is great when he's playing off the likes of Gerrard, Sterling, Suarez, etc. and Liverpool are 3-0 up at Anfield. Chasing a lead away from home though, not convinced.Good point. Barkley has shown himself to be the very definition of consistency in the last 12 months.
Barkley last season. 2 goals, 2 assists.Admittedly, Barkley wasn't great last season but by flakey I meant in a single match situation.

Suffered an injury on the eve of the season though, didn't he? Then played out of position in a struggling side for the majority of it. I'm not saying he is amazing or anything. Barkley 2013/14 was way better than Coutinho 2014/15, though.Barkley last season. 2 goals, 2 assists.
