If we sold him for £50mil we could buy 833 Seamus Colemans and still have change

Tell you what. Other countries are liking what they see with Ross. Not often an English player makes the press in Italy / Spain / Germany.

We get CL footy, this or next season, we need players like Ross. He could help change the whole way we are veiwed.

For now we see through a glass, darkly.

I love Barkley but he can't play as CM.

 

[moyeslovechild]

not a CM.

 

[hktoffee]

Not a CM. And should have taken him off instead of Barry. His passing is appealing today.

 

[Dymak]

Bloody awful today.

 

[tonka1878]

Dross Centrally.

 

[technojoe]

He was bad but the team was set out totally wrong.

 

[anyone]

He will become an awesome attacking player but he hasn't the brain to play as a CM. Lacks composure, fundaments and vision to play that role.

As many others premierleague players, he have been infected with the "british midfielder" virus.
He's always trying to deliver those gerrardesque 50 yard passes, he keep the ball in dangerous areas, he tries to keep the ball in dangerous areas when he should just do a short pass, he makes stupid dribbles without really having to, and sometimes, instead of running forward he needs to calm down.
Look at McCarthy, Xavi, Busquets, etc.
Pass and move, safe passes, don't take risks, support players near you, KEEP IT SIMPLE!

He is an outstanding attacking player, so he should play close to the box.

 

[TomDixie]

Poor game. Needs to move on quickly.

 

[Barkley85]

not his fault he was played out of position poor game but should have always been in the CAM role

 

[chicoazul]

He will end up in CM eventually I reckon. Just one of them nights tonight, can't be arsed having Palace midfielders throwing themselves at you like loons all the time. He'll learn for it and become better.
