You think he's good enough for top 5 teams?


KDB. Ozil. Hazard/ Oscar/ pedro/
Mata / mykr new lad
Eriksen lamela all better number -10s than Ross

Have so much more technical ability

Ross has poor mentality and not good enough to ever be a top player
Oscar is basically the Brazilian Barkley. Pedro is not great either and Mata and Mkhitaryan can't get in over an awful Rooney. They are all right about Ross's level. The other lads are a class above what we can get right now

Technical ability they're all above Ross, read game a lot better
 

He's not a number 10 mate. That's his only problem. Martinez and now Koeman okay him out of position. He's a CM in the mould of Toure. Play him there or play him nowhere. Simple as that.
And this was the perfect game to play him in with Barry rested and Besic Gibson and McCarthy all out.

He freezes when he gets to the opposition's box. Everywhere else on the pitch he's a top player.
 
His brain-foot messaging system is perhaps not well wired enough. I think he lacks the 'smarts' to be a top level #10.
I'm not being unkind here-I still think he has talent, but just not as much as some think he has.
At the top level in sport, it's all about the top two inches.

Agree. He lacks certain qualities that you need as a nr10.
 
I'm not sure about that Dave - it seems that neither the soft touch or the hard approach generates an appropriate reaction from Ross. There's an underlying inconsistency in his play and you never know whether a world beater or a journeyman is going to turn up - that's the sad reality.

Maybe it's something that only Ross can or cannot cure?
He needs a change of position or a change of surroundings.

Koeman has said he can see him in a deeper role. I suggest he shifts him back ASAP and knocks off the personal attacks.

Agreed. There are doubts about him defensively but I'm not convinced on him as a number 10 at all.
