I really don't think that's an issue like... if indeed you're being serious.

I think it's a bit of an issue - would do a lot more off the ball if he wasn't lugging about all of that needless weight

This is football, not boxing

Could be solid muscle, wait till he scores and strips off!

Errrrm - their is one division in the entire of Boxing that fighters don't do the exact opposite of what you just said mate, boxing is all about boiling yourself down to the absolute minimum weigth you can do whilst retaining strength

Backing him for a brace, possibly a hatty tonight.

This is a wind up right?

Mate he's a bulky lad but all of that will be muscle pretty much. It's what gives him his power and pace which is one of his biggest assets.

And he doesn't have to do more off the ball - RM often indicates for him to lay off from diving in as that isn't his game (yet). That side of the game comes with experience for a player like Barkley. I'd rather see him use his energy attacking than pressing pointlessly.

 

[ElGato]

I would argue that muscle can still be needless weight...

 

[ElGato]

In boxing your goal is to hit the other geezer, though?

When you see him in full flight at pace he hardly looks like a lad carrying needless weight, He's just a big solid lad.

Fairdos to you... I'd like to see him lose a bit of that weight if it meant he did a bit more running
