he has some great awareness about him for sure mate, but if you offered me one of them to have at the team i'd take Barkley over him, is he as good right now - nope, will he IMO become the better all around player - then i honestly believe he will be.

As for Coutinho, the very epitome of a 1 in 4 player and a big reason why they struggle against teams way below them but suddenly raise there game against the 'big teams' - because he shows up in those games and takes a day off against most others.

said for the last two to three seasons these two players have similar stats, one player is lauded as one the best players on the planet by its fans the other is booed off, if Barkley gets his head right he will be a way superior player.

Where the hell is his contract? We've been told "contacts will make Ross and Rom highest earners" and nothing's happened since summer.

Ah right. Yeah I think it was a bit harsh that comparison as well, like I said putting him up against someone like Coutinho makes more sense. Same age, roughly same amount of games in the Prem, neither are at a "top" team.

June 92 v December 93 18 months is a long time

Another garbage performance. This lad cannot pass a ball and is dying to give our opposition the ball at every opportunity.
Almost cost us a goal in the first half as well by choosing the wrong option again.

Some of the comments on the last few pages of this thread are so biased and laughable. Better than De Bruyne and Coutinho??? WTF are some people on.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not a great performance at all, but some of that comes down to how well Boro hounded us in possession.
He wasn't the only one to struggle.

Barkley one of the best players on the pitch today, majority of our goalscoring opportunities today were created by him.
I don't like to namecall....but you're an idiot

That pass to Lookman was superb. If that had gone in he would have been the match winner.

He is not always perfect but the stick he gets is pathetic.

You're entitled to your opinion just like the people you're quoting. We aren't all laughing at you because you're on here spitting your dummy out after a hard fought draw away from home against one the the tightest defences in the league. He's played out of his skin lately, he has a below average game, take the players you talk about Coutinho for example, he's playing awful stuff at the moment but the lad is human. We all know what he can do much like we all know of late today's performance from Ross was below his recent standards but he was still one of the best players in the pitch

Scapegoat Regularly

nsno-chris · February 11, 2017

He was picked out as our danger man, first half Fabio was stuck to him like glue and the second half he was pressed as soon as the ball came to him. He played well considering
