Ross Barkley

[banno]

Felt sorry for him today. I would simply say it was frustrating for him. If he was afforded the space we allowed Coutinho and Mane then he would have thrived. Liverpool did a job on him and swarmed all over him in seconds. They nullified our only creative player. He never gave up and his passion overwhelmed him sometimes. Showed some good play but mainly out numbered and marked out of the game. Something we should have tried against Coutinho.

Just not that good at the end of the day. Dallies on the ball, makes bad decisions. I'd rather we had Sigurdsson tbh.

Totally agreed

First poor showing in months, didn't hide despite it, only player to show up at the Lane a few weeks back and still half the fan base is all over him screaming sell. It's disappointing

Standard response.

Clearly was very amped up today.

Shades of Gazza mentally

Don't care.

Bit of a dope today

It's the qualities that counts.

He does need to keep his cool vs the RS going forward but at least he doesn't hide from it

Why not both rather than one or the other?

We have 1 creative player. The most creative English player in the league.

Think we need to help him out a bit.

 

[nsno-chris]

One bad game and people want to bin him off

Brilliant

 

[TimmyOTool]

Difficult considering what's around him, I'm fully behind Ross and believe he will go onto big things. Pity he is dragged down by the evertonian shithouse mentality

 

[banno]

Don't think Sigurdsson would have faired any better today given the way the RS swarmed all over ross today.

Nailed it here.
