Do our players think they're better than they really are?

Agreed with virtually everything you wrote, apart from Barkley. The lad has no confidence and has been poor all season. I don't think he thinks he's better than he is.

Could well be mate. As mentioned I don't know the answers. Just looking at the possibilities really.

He was given so much hype last season he could have believed a lot of it and gone to his head. The performances this season could be him trying too hard to live up to the hype he believe he got.

Just a possibility.

Both points valid though. He needs confidence for sure.
