  4. Surely that's a mark against him being so?

    Not consistent enough yet. Maybe in the future, either way he's a cracking little player and definitely a top 10 forward/wide forward in the league. Be interesting to see if he can go up a gear in cm.

    No.

    If he were it wouldn't even come up as a question as often as it does. He's below the likes of Hazard and Sanchez for me but broadly in line with the likes of Ozil, De Bruyne, David Silva, Eriksen etc. None of whom are 'world class' IMO just in that big bracket of really, really good players beneath.

    Not quite yet for me. I think he needs to score and create more but he is close. Hopefully by the end of the season he is classed in the world class bracket. When on form he is a joy to watch and I love watching him play.

    not yet, a potential. Lack of consistency. Can't seem to carry the team like how Suarez or Gerrard did. Sometimes there's a need for Mane more than him imo.

    Put it this way I'd have Mane and Firmino in the side before Coutinho and neither of those are in the same class as Suarez. If Coutinho were world class we'd move heaven and Earth to get him in the side, but in reality Wijnaldum is as likely to start at the moment.

    Nah, has the potential to be but lacks the consistency. On his day as good as anyone in the league.
