Feel like I need to post my stat again

Difficult for Barkley to learn all the decision making ability that Eriksen has when he's shunted on to the fcking wing Martinez you absolute clown.

Catalan divvy.

Yeh he needs to cut this nonsense out straight away. When he finally moved him into the centre he played a boss ball to Coleman. Never seen him do that before, he might have the vision for AM after all.

I keep having little fits of rage at him. He's ruined my week until Wednesday and has he said sorry? Has he balls.

Would like too season us try for sigurdson in the summer.

If we offered a good deal I'm sure Swansea would sell.

Apparently they turned down Spurs offer for Ben Davies in the summer of £10M and did a straight swap to take Sigurdsson back.

He doesn't know the meaning of the word. He'd tell you Ross is in a 'bery good mo-ment' and to 'be poss-i-tiff'.

Beginning to think we have a manager who is becoming a joke,if he had a fully fit squad to choose from, I think he would still make a mess of it.

He is dead to me if we lose to Hull.

Dont you think he goes back very deep in order to get involved? I do. Not much use back there as a number 10. Further up the pitch in the last third it's a different environment to operate in. You have to have great vision and composure to see the movement of teammates and pick runners out. In that area of the pitch he's ok at being the one played in, but being the provider? Not for me.

...he does, Davek. That's why I think he's so important to RM. The 2 central midfielders don't cross the half-way line, it leaves a problem linking them with a conventional No10 like Naismith. Barkley has the unique ability to get the ball in deeper position and get himself into that space behind the CF.

His stats back up your view that he's not the provider, they also probably counter your view that he's more the one 'who is played in'. Generally speaking his 'end product' needs to improve. I posted a short video of Bobby Charlton earlier in the thread because I think that's what he should aspire to. Barkley reminds me of him, but it's still potential.

I'll try and find that clip.

I was referring to Naismith, tbh eggs (my fault, I should have made it clearer).

I query why we are not turning the likes of Spurs over and not convinced at times with the team and bench selection. Talks of giving youth a chance rather than buying so why did he not try a young player rather than Distin?

 

[Toffeelover]

I would ask where is Oveido?

 

[bluegirl]

Ross Barkley is trademark number 10, when he plays there he plays well. Problem is he's been played on the wing all season...

 

[Brownie]

When Barks is playing well he's the best number 10 in world football. I don't think he even needs to become a clever little passer man to be honest, he can just run through everyone and score himself. Get Frank on the phone.
