2017/18 Ross Barkley

[Scouse]

My comments on Koeman were a bit jokey. He should, and surely will, get time to mould these players. You're right. But I am a tad concerned because I'm not seeing a 'style of play' and purpose to our play yet. Thats down to the manager. We've been dealt a very tough start and I was hoping for us to pick up 6 or 7 points from the first 5 games. Unless we beat Man Utd (which I can't see) that won't happen. Bournemouth and Burnley games become very important all round, not least for the manager.

He took charge of a complete mess mate, he's brought in a lot of fresh faces, just give him time to find a 'style' and let the team gel. I'm not saying it's deffo gonna happen but just stay patient and give him a chance. Anyways this is for another thread.

We miss him. Someone willing to show for the ball and be direct.

Really hope when he's back fit he's put into the team again - even if it is just until he leaves.

Yeah, and then trip over it whilst trying to decide what to do with it. No thanks.

He's injured anyway.

 

[Azzurri]

Don't care how much we supposedly miss him, he should never play for us again unless he apologises and signs a new contract.

He's taken the piss out of the club. I'll be furious if we give him the chance to get a bigger wage when he joins a London club and we don't get a penny from it.

Ross must have been beaming yesterday as his prospective employers put his nemesis to the sword big time.

The complete mess he took over appears to have had more style, energy, creativity, effort and commitment than the team he has put together

I do not buy into this complete mess.... I buy into we are now a complete mess.

Too many 10s, very narrow, slow, no pace, no goal threat, 2 DM against ever team, hmmmmm

Ross in Koeman out

 

[Bigjoe]

I'm hoping he stays. Quality player when he is in form and not injured.

No one from our forwards or midfielders takes the ball and tries to run at opposition defences. Big Ross shaped hole that. Koeman's cajoling of him publicly has caused this. Pains me to say it.

Him and his agent had shown no signs of being interested in signing a new deal before Koeman even got the gig though. Koeman calling him out is just management and it worked as Ross improved his all round game last season. He's acted like a prize tit for me.

Nah, short term gain long term pain for me this. He could have been handled better for sure.

We don't miss him, we miss having a striker.

Put Ross in this team, we'd still need a striker.

Koeman took 'tough love' to far with Ross.

The way this situation has been handled absolutely stinks the place out.

We miss him loads, we're utter dump, of course we miss him.
