Ross Barkley

[chippy1722]

Coutinho? The lad who turns up every third game and posts inferior stats to Ross each year? Coutinho has one trick in his book, sadly we were too stupid to stop it on Saturday. He played well Saturday but a world class player he is not and certainly is not good enough to be some sort of role model for Ross.

He is a role model to Ross though, he is one of the player's he said he watches and looks up to. If he can take the good parts of Coutinho and be more consistent then it's only a positive.

No need for personal insults mate

Played very well started a bit ropey but really came into the game as the half went on.

Ref is a joke should have had a couple of free kicks

 

[TommyDavo]

Outstanding tonight according to Merson

 

[flibbyflob]

Was great, ran himself into the ground. Played lad.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Worked his socks off. Admire that.

 

[Del-boy]

Needs to release the ball quicker and still makes poor decisions at the crucial time.

 

[johnjoeefc]

Not good enough with his decision making. Same as lukaku. They cost us the game not williams

 

[ToffeeTim]

Get your head up Ross!! Really good tonight but needs to pick the final pass.

 

[edge]

Put a shift in tonight, thought he was unlucky not to get a few more fouls .

But also had chances or created something to win it so...

I thought he was absolutely useless tonight lol ( shows you the differing opinions on a forum lol ) held on too long, didn't pick a pass, got into some amazing positions without producing one final ball. Though by the end of his useless passing, Lukaku wasn't even offering him an outlet.

Still piss poor imo and nowhere near good enough tonight for what we needed. It's always up top imo where we just break down time after time and they just don't put the effort in to win it back quick enough.

Wow he took the ball in the first half under pressure with the man up his behind span him and hit a 40 yard ball with this left foot mirallas then beat Bailly to it lukaku latches onto if playes mirallas back in we go 2 nil up the play from Ross was top class. He must have played lukaku in down the line 4/5 times and then also broke a similar amount of times whilst rom stands watching him.
The difference when Calvert lewin came on was noticeable he didn't offer anywhere near what barkely did or work as hard.

I think he hates Rom, i think they all do.

played 2 great balls mate totally agree. Played another 25 woeful passes but like I said Lukaku had given up running and he had given up passing.

He had to be taken off mate because his tank was empty.

I honestly thought between him and Lukaku we played with 9 men and still should have won tonight!
