    Ozil.

    That isn't to say Coutinho can't be as good as Ozil, but currently Ozil is the superior player. But with that said, I'm more than happy with Coutinho, even tempted to get his name on next seasons shirt because I'm sad like that <cheers>

    Ozil has better vision.

    But Countinho has better dribbling skills and is faster

    Excuse the spelling, should be Coutinho.

    But some of Coutinho passes this season makes me think his passing is as good as Ozil

    In the longer term Coutinho. On today's performance Coutinho.

    Not sayiny Ozil is a bad player but Coutinho is just developing is skills and I believe has a lot more to offer in his all round game

    Ozil is a fantastic player, but his form seems to be very hit or miss.


    Coutinho has age on his side still, which is scary.

    I have to be honest 80% of the games I've seen Ozil play in he has done absolutely nothing of note, he's certainly not the player I was expecting to grace the PL.

    Today: Coutinho.
    This season: Ozil (cooties hasn't done his best until last several weeks this season)
    Who is better: Ozil.
    Who has potential to be better: no clue.

    Who would I rather have: Cooties. He is ours.:eek:. I suspect on much lower wages too. If he were on higher wages we wouldn't have been able to afford anyone in January.

  13. There is a slight difference here. Ozil is the better attacking player but Coutinho works hard for the team and is able to play as part of a midfield three. Ozil needs a player or two behind him to do his dirty work because he's lazy, not something you normally say for a German!

    Ozil has the potential to be absolutely world class, we'll probably see that side of him when he plays for Germany.

    Ozil is the better player, currently I'm happy with having Coutinho and I hope he can continue to develop because he's still only 21.

    Isn't Coutinho on a wage of less than £50,000 a week whilst Ozil is on around £125,000+ too?

    Yeah but the wages of 5 Coutinho's would be double Ozil's wages so you need take that into #account <ok>

    At the moment Ozil, but then he does have 3/4 years experience on Coutinho as well as having played constantly for last few years at the very highest level.

    This is probably Coutinho's first full season as a first choice player so is still quite inexperienced. It's nice to see him last the whole game now though, remember the first 6 months he couldn't cope with the physicality of the league and didn't have the stamina but seems to have over come that.

    If they were available for the same price and same wage, then Ozil, but for the amount we paid and pay in wages, Coutinho <ok>

    <laugh> on the list of things I'm #worried about, Utd winning the CL is just below the fear that a Kaiju will rise out of the Mersey to destroy Anfield <ok>
