Ross Barkley

[Doolstar70]

Delighted. For a while he seemed to have lost his way, but looking much better now.
Martinez did him no favours with his ego massaging and neither did hodgson who started the whole 'decision making' thing.
He seems best as a free spirit!
I don't think England will ever use his attributes properly, in the same way they never used Baines attacking skills properly.

Deserved a goal today. Performed the way we have been waiting for. Looks leaner and meaner. Davis has taken some of the pressure off of him. With all eyes now watching the new hope, Ross can relax a bit and focus better on what he does best.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

He doesn't look bothered at all anymore. Doesn't moan mistakes and does his job.

Ross in this formation is such a pleasure to watch.

 

[jinkyali]

He is and always has been the diamond of our crop of youngsters.
He has so much expectation and pressure on his shoulders; he is an unbelievable talent, local lad and I think a lot of blues see him and think he can go on to be our 'Steven Gerrard', one club man who drags the team through poor patches. Thats an insane amount of pressure to put on him.

He is great. I just hope and pray he signs his contract.

 

[Connor]

Guess whose got his swagger back.

Some of the local lad attention drifting to Davies may help with Ross, although he should be experienced enough now at this stage to handle it.

 

[Blues Harp]

So pleased for him...Davies, Scheiderlin and Gana when he returns will hopefully get him to even greater heights

 

[diggerdestroyer]

...played well. I still prefer him higher up the pitch.

Must disagree with you on that one. Like him coming from deeper

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

Amazing last few games. Again, the pressure shared amongst others done him the world of good. Back enjoying his football.

Ran the show.

 

[Doolstar70]

We need him to make his mark on a contract or he will have to be sold in the summer.

 

[evertonarntwe]

He was on a completely different level to every single other player on that pitch in the first half. He is just unbelievable yanno

 

[bitter-no-better]

Must disagree with you on that one. Like him coming from deeper

Glad this message was after the watershed
