Barkley.
Hold onto the ball please

 

[itsnowak]

He's been slated over and over for it before but I'm loving how kone is holding up the ball

 

[Ring master]

clinging on to the 2 goal lead the com says lol

 

[Huyton Layne]

Gerri Gerri Gerri... Please

 

[AndyC]

Clinging on, is Darke mental ?

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Ross is getting into good positions, but he is looking a little fatigued.

 

[Khalekan]

Excellent first hour for Stones who the BT commentary team are still trying to sell... Gits

In fairness to Savage he says John should stay put.

Then again, Robbie was a boyhood Welsh Blue

 

[gianthogweed]

The composure of Stones what a class player he is

 

[BigBlueConk]

Get Gerald on, he will take the game up the pitch.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

That's better Ross, use your strength

 

[quasi modo]

That's a pen that.

 

[chrissyjack]

Good play by Ross

 

[BigBlueConk]

COYB!

 

[The Mighty Quint]

I'm really liking what I'm seeing from Barkley this season so far, he looks refreshed and up for it going into the season, he's getting involved in everything.

 

[bluelife]

I like that the minutes are ticking but come on Everton...kill it whilst they're suffering....
