Ross Barkley

Baines' left foot · January 21, 2017

Didn't watch the game but glad to hear he played well again. He's getting some consistency now.

Also looks like he's been laying off the weights a bit so seems more mobile and agile now. Good to see.

Keep it up Ross and the mindless haters will eventually go away.

The team is playing better, he is playing better, to be honest they all are now playing better.

Ross was dominant, gave it all today. A couple whiskers away from bagging one. Think him and Rom need to link up a bit better, but it would be SOOOO nice to have another attacking middy to help - Kev wasn't at his best today.

I Picked Davies as mom but could easily have chosen Ross followed by Holgate all excellent today

He's got great footwork and a great turn on him, so it's good to see his confidence returning as it's visibly given him a boost. Keep it up mate.

Might do Ross some good having Davies emerge to take some of the focus off him

Thought he ran the show today. He has a bit of a free role and looks a top footballer in it. Passing was crisp. He was a danger with a couple if efforts and looked so comfortable and confident on the ball.

Unlucky not to score with his chance that took a deflection to put it over.

A few times he took the ball out of defence and played it out to feet to Lukaku/Mirallas really well. Made such a big difference to us being able to keep control of the game instead of hoofing it out.

It looks like Koeman has got him in a position that really suits him.

His work rate this season has drastically improved too, pressing far up but making a good contribution to defending too. He's running games for us at the moment.

Pabbers · January 21, 2017

He controlled the game, he is a class footballer.

Getting better each week, made up for him.

...played well. I still prefer him higher up the pitch.

LostLegend · January 21, 2017

Koemans tough love looks like it's starting to work.
Starting to look like the player we all want him to become

Took his time on the ball (in a good way), looked calm in possession, played some great passes, his trade mark mazy runs and a few decent shots.

More of this please Ross!

He came so close several times. Ross is like Lukaku in the sense that he is stocky for his position and has the skill to boot. He never seemed to use the body he had, but he seems to be playing stronger since the turn of the year. If you are physically superior to your opponent, you should take advantage of that.
