Ross Barkley

The manager isnt forcing cheeseburgers or whatever down his gob.

State of him, he looks like a bloody thumb these days.

where have you been to know hes got a bad diet? a few of the players look knackered after an hour maybe its a lack of fitness coaching?

Im half joking, he looks really out of shape to me though. Probably bulking up in the gym more than anything.

He needs to work on his fitness, as most of the team do and should be played further back. He's at his best running with the ball from deep, playing as a 'No. 10,' he can't do that.

yes.Running with the ball is the best he can do. He doesnt have a brain . Hes like a robot. Not a footballer.

Well thats not true, he is just not fit, as in stamina. Not a pick of fat on the lad, bulky muscle mass maybe contributing.

He could probably build up his stamina by doing a bit of running I reckon.

I really do beleive that he is told to not waste his energy by that clown

He needs to get up and down some mountains - that'll trim him down and turn him into a steely-eyed mountain goat

The problem he has is that teams double up on him, his decision making has to be much quicker than the majority of other players, this makes his decision making look poor at times. Pull him back into midfield with the game in front of him an we will see a huge difference.

Maybe so, I dont think (or would like to think..) that doesnt apply to a player stood two yards away from him though.

Ross could and should be doing better, and along with every other player should be taking some responsibility

We'll see when he inevitably leaves and finds a manager who can actually manage players rather than just let them do what they want.

Perhaps we can find a "manager" who can get him to pass a ball to those nice blue jerseys. That could be down to organisation couldn't it...

He is probably the best passer of a ball we have.

Perhaps. That's not really the point I was making. I'd also wager he loses the ball more so than most.

That's because he is trying things and not just taking the safe option. We would be a much worse team without him.
