I guess it depends on formation you prefer. I think he fits well in a 4-3-3 in front of a DM, for example:
Beni/Schneiderlin
Davies Gana
We played well with that last season IMO

I think 4-3-3 is the way forward. I think Barkely was linking well at times with Coleman last year as his natural instinct is to come inside.
I think as much as we bemoan the lack of a defence and striking options, the way the midfield sets up has also been wrong. Too many of the same type of player.
All about opinions mate.
FWIW I don't think Gueye can play that role (sitting in front of the back four). Just like McCarthy and Davies can't. However out of form he is, Schneiderlin is the closest thing we have to a Barry replacement at present.
The reason I put McCarthy in is because when fit I still think he is better than Gueye.
Also Rooney is in there because we need as many goal threats in the team as possible.

I don't understand how they don't feel a bit of shame as 30-70 year old fellas launching in to a tirade of abuse at 18-20 year old lads for trying to do their best.
Loads in the Gwladys Street started screaming at Kenny on Sunday for not trying a pointless attempt at trying to stop the ball from going for a goal kick when he had a 6 foot+ defender in his way with pretty much no chance of coming out on top in that battle as I think it was an overhit pass by Lookman.
It's amazing the way they have no appreciation for the fact that it's an incredible achievement that these young players have actually pushed their way in to the first team for a side that finished in the top 7 of one of the best league's in world football. Every player in the game makes mistakes. When you're inexperienced at 18-22/23 you will make even more mistakes, especially if the side you're playing in is low in confidence and results are poor.
Davies still looks to me like a top talent in English Football. Had some tough times this season but still shown that he's easily good enough at this level and the fans need to be patient with him and the other young players and cut them some slack in this tough period.

Exactly what im talking about, your already chucking Baniningime in there ahead of him after 4 games.
He's performed better than Schneiderlin, Gueye & "Siggy" this season. McCarthy is made of cheese, and he plays a compleely different position to Rooney
Cant wait for Morgan Feeney to make his debut so you can ditch Holgate for him in your lineup

oh hi you again
not getting into all this again but I think you need to realise that barkley has a lot more support from our fans that you suggest pal
in lyon 1 in every 4 songs was the diamond song. he gets groans when he gives it away but we could have messi and that would still happen if he lost it, it's part of the game doesn't mean he's jeered!
have a nice day x
Look at the stick Kenny and now Davies are getting.
You need to wake up.
Away fans are the minority, its the social media / forum / talk show call in types...which IS the majority!!!
Just read the comments on every Barkley article.
Last 2 years its made its way to Goodison park, its no secret that Goodison is known to turn on its own.

nar I wont, agree with me now
It's only my opinion pal.
I think chucking a load of people to run around like loons is part of the reason the back four gets so exposed. Hence why if Davies plays I wouldn't play Gana as well, certainly not in games we expect to be dominating.
Would try Sigurdsson there before cutting our losses on him entirely, seeing as he has scored goals every other season he has been in the league, so willing to stick with him for a while yet.
I'm not chucking Baninigime in for him at all, I think one of him or Schneiderlin can play that particular role. That's all.

Find it hard to sympathise with kids earning 30k per week. They're entertainers. If they don't entertain, then they get some stick. They should count themselves lucky they're not entertaining the romans. They paid less and getting the thumb down meant death. Ok, so they get boo'd now and then. Then they go home after 90 mins work and browse the tinterweb for a new sports car. I have a crap day at work and I go home and browse Amazon for a new mouse or something....

Except that we know Baningime cannot understand his role (at least I can't understand his role), and Barkley's decision making has not improved for years. But we know even if he is not playing well, Davies is not a total liability or invisible man.
Any criticism is a testament to the lad himself, he is in he same age group as Kenny, Dowell, Lookman, were patience and understanding is awarded to these guys Tom is being judged as an established senior. Such has been his rise and impact.
He will learn more through bad form then he will good form and its inevitable.

They have some great things on the internet nowadays, you know?
