...weather wise I thought it was a good day to play football, it was a good day for good footballers to play. I don't know if he was injured but I understand Barkley was substituted for Kone.

Best ask the manager why, when losing he wouldn't take off Barry instead.

It was another game where he didn't do enough eggs imo...BUT taking him off instead of Barry and then putting Kone left wing was absolutely comical. The kind of sub my 8 year old would make on his Fifa game.

I think he was playing well, can't believe Koeman brought him off for Kone. Shocking decision.

We should be actively prospecting him to Chinese clubs. Get a ridiculous £60m fee for him and his 'potential', and replace him with a good player.

The only thing shocking was that Koeman brought on Kone. The fact Barkley got subbed off was no surprise.

He wasn't playing brilliantly but taking him off when we needed a goal and leaving Barry and Davies on was baffling to me.

Not good enough.

Honestly not in the least bit arsed if we lose him.

Did you go?

Some lovely one and two touch passes and control and in the first half, although we did not create anything bar a million corners, he dictated play.

Seemed the bloke next to me expected magic every time he touched it and got mad when nothing happened. He had a static rom, a slow Barry and a lively Valencia - with a terrible touch - to pass too.

Definitely not at fault and being subbed for Kone will do nothing to help his confidence.

I think Barry should have been subbed for Kone and Ross moving into the cm. Barkley was having an ok game for the most part just want him to drive forward with the ball more.
