Ross Barkley

[demo84]

Once agains he shows why is such an amazing prospect.

Should have been sent off.
Always keeps hold of the ball for too long which stops us from creating a chance and allows the opposition to regroup
Makes ridiculous passing choices
Overhits almost every pass.

He does. This every single game and yet people only want to look at and focus on 1 good thing he might do a game.

The amount of times he has lost the ball today is shocking

He's not like that every game though is he?

Another derby he's shyed away from sadly

tbf he's in good company !

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Been excellent for weeks. Goes away with england and comes back like this, confidence utterly sapped again. Not the first time it's happened either.

 

[longers]

Fear this match could result in a big loss of form

 

[TrixyStevens]

Watch his form plummet now.

 

[bazzer25]

Not good enough, needs replacing with somebody who can turn a game, offer consistent creativity, and can make quick decisions.

 

[ijjysmith]

I can't bemoan him too much.

The onus of just about all our forward play is on him. And if he's not on it today happens.

Imagine him not in the team. Where would anything attacking come from? It just can't all be on him.

 

[Thomasc]

After today, I am reluctant to say that if he doesn't sign a new contract soon I won't be that arsed to lose him.

 

[Tubey]

Woeful.

The big game got to him, he was to eager to impress and make things happen and things just went wrong. It's what he's struggled with, he just needs to compose himself

Completely agree we just need to hope he can overcome this as it's clearly an issue

 

[hktoffee]

Player like him and Lukaku. They don't really preform against Sky 6.

It could be nerves of the derby and knowing the importance of the game. He was poor but there were also parts were he got his foot on the ball and drove at them.

Nobody in that team can leave with their heads held high, so he's not a lone in having a poor match
