2017/18 Gylfi Sigurdsson

Barkley would have come to the half way, collected the ball and ran at them, like it or not, he would have changed it today.

He's injured, like.

He's injured, like.

Still would have done better than most today

Can't remember him doing that in the same fixture last season.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Barkley got involved all over the pitch and really helped to dictate the game against the poorer sides. If that's not what this lad does then it's another issue we've got to address.

What like he did last year?

Oh...

Oh...

Thought Barkley had a decent year tbh.

What like he did last year?

Oh...

No one did mate, but, the one thing he does/did was be direct and that's what we need.

 

[bol-uk]

Thought Barkley had a decent year tbh.

Amen, he really did.

 

[Azzurri]

We've signed maybe the best set piece taker in the league and he's already hitting the first man with everything less than two weeks in.

Never change, Everton. Never change.

 

[chicoazul]

Can't stop laughing at all the YouTube millennial scouting ferrets who were urging Everton to sell their best two players and thinking they'll improve.

Thought Barkley had a decent year tbh.

At Chelsea he was turbo gash.

 

[dannyboy]

Amen, he really did.

People jump on Barkley for his performances in games like today's but he was on a hiding to nothing. Our tactics of leaving him isolated against top defenders don't lend themselves well to many players.

So? Martinez hangover, they were all awful

Our fans hating him will bite us on the arse I reckon. Will flourish elsewhere

There's issues with his game but with better players around him it's difficult to see him not doing well.

I'm just bored of people coming on here after every game to tell us why they think we'd have won by 4 goals if Barkley had played, when the reality is that he's never done it for us at any time in the past.
