Ross Barkley had a standout season in Roberto Martinez's debut season. Scored brilliant goals, worked well with Lukaku.
Our formation means he has a lot of pressure on him to be outstanding or create goals.
Personally I think he gets criticised too much, but defensively I do not think he is good enough at the moment to play in a 2-man central midfield. His role in the team seems to be a little complicated and confused, and I'm wondering if talk of £30/40m moves away from the club will cease due to the criticism.
If his value is going down, should we cash in this January and move on? What makes this harder to think about, is that he is a blue.
Koeman probably knows his potential but can he find a consistent role for him in this squad, and can he get the best out of him?
