It looks nice and tight now!

The barkley debate reminds me of the big bang theory (it is on everyday!)

But will it have the longevity of friends? It is like he's always stuck in second gear though. .

Ross is 22, needs to show more than his potential and get stuck in to demonstrate his ability.

1 had half so far, awful, needs hanging....yard dog.

So he wasn't better than Monday? lol

He was miles better than Monday.

Which means the events of last week had a positive effect and not negative.

Bang average Ross Barkley performance. Anyone saying otherwise is just falling for the media spin of "koeman plays mind games masterstroke".

He still hasn't moved out of the 'potential' zone ? For a world beater, he sure is taking his time.

A 'bang average Ross Barkley performance' which followed a rank Ross Barkley performance.

In between him and his manager analysed said performance, he kept him in the team this week and the lad played much better.

Those are the facts.

Bang average Ross Barkley performance.

Compared to last Monday (And a few games last season, if people are gonna be honest with themselves) it wasn't. Although given his previous performances have lowered the bar for what his average can be determined at, it's about right to say Saturday was no better than average imo.

That said, Saturday's performance should - repeat, should be the extreme bare minimum expected from him.

Are we worried that he's not really kicking on?

So he went from terrible to average and that's a justification for a public dressing down? Ok.

Btw, take a look at the post match MOM thread on here: Barkley had such a great game he garnered 4 votes from about 200 respondents. It seems the vast majority disagree with you.

Exactly. It got no response out of the ordinary. And I'd venture to say that RB looked clearly unhappy.

Who said he was MOTM? Not me....just that he was vastly better than Monday.

You spent the week trying to suggest that Koemans actions would be detrimental to the player, and yet he picked him and he played far better on Saturday, ergo you were patently wrong.

Eh I love Koeman me, what a man, wish he was my uncle or something.
