I'm starting to think this too. Chronic inconsistency coupled with a baffling lack of fitness.

Personally i haven't seen much progression in his game,he's at that age now where he should have shown at least some improvement in his game.
He still looks like the same raw talent who first came to the club, and still with so many facets of his game that still need improving.

I'm over it mate. Over it with most of our players to be honest. Our poor last bit of the transfer market just hit home even more this last week.
Too many inconsistent, not quite right footballers that will keep us mid table.

When he came to the club in his first loan he was fantastic. I remember him destroying teams by himself, Stoke being a particular highlight.
Then he got injured. Didn't really get over it until the end of the season. Went to Sevilla and got his confidence shattered. Came back started well and got his confidence shattered again due because we weren't able to play Rom, Ross and Geri in the same team due to their work rate. Started this season and while he has knuckled down and improved his work rate he has been played out of position and as a sub etc knowing the manager doesn't really rate him and again his confidence is shattered.
I want to see the confident arrogant kid we saw when he first came but I'm beginning to think like Barkley mentally he just doesn't have what it takes although at least he is trying to sort out the defensive side.

Both playing with zero confidence and both suffer from the same problem. They are weak mentally and probably were too good too soon and haven't learned either mental toughness or the need to work for the team.
They are also no where near as talented as their early promise would have suggested but that might be a confidence thing.
This is the problem with most though in our first 11. We can go through periods of the season where we won't be able to score a goal if we played for 3 hours. This week has been like that, and may continue longer. It's Lukaku or bust at stages it seems. I'm over it. Time to move on a good few from the club that can't find consistency or are "not quote right" I feel.
Pains me to write this as I am a Geri man and he loves it at Everton. I don't think Big Ron is a fan either.

Before you reach that point I will remind you he's still only 22.
He just needs to keep working and hopefully his form will come back.
What form is that mate? The inconsistent world beater of the first half of last season? Or the dross we get otherwise? I could give Geri a decade as I am a fan. Problem is, half the 11 is the same. And I am over them collectively.
As I said above, there's a whole bunch of them in the squad at Everton that will keep us a mid table club unless something gives. They either develop and perform or go.
Enough worshiping footballers. Let's start finally worshiping the team after 3 decades of dross.

I completely concur, over the course of the last couple of seasons there's always a constant echo regarding the promise of our team especially del, Besic and Ross, eventually that potential needs to be realized by consistent tangible performances rather than the fleeting blip of an occasional impressive display. I'm aware players need to the opportunity to develop but this constant championing of players for the future seems delusional. Action brings results not talk of promise otherwise they need to be discarded
