What?

Barkleys game is all about aggression and desire!!!



Sorry, I shoudve been more clear. I meant off the ball. On the ball I agree but off the ball he has got a touch of the Yaya Toures about him. For me he needs to show more desire to win the ball and to be in the right places to receive the ball
 
That's UEFA stats

We seem to have a bit of a record of having legs broken when playing against Newcastle.

....was it a broken leg, seem to recall his ankle was knackered. Great shame, tremendous player. I remember watching him come back in a Lancashire League game at Belfield. I think McCarthy is more Bracewell than Besic but the fact all 3 are compared is an accolade in itself.
 
Looking like a bargain at £4m.

Always looking to try something to get the ball moving, last night was his best game this season and can only see him getting better & better.
 

Banned for the Krasnodar game (2 yellows) but I guess that's not much of an issue.

On the one hand, I'd love to see him relax into a game on a big stage with low stakes.

On the other hand, Ryan Ledson's first time debut will be a good "I was there" moment, so not arsed.

Perhaps something like

Robles (because he is likely to play)
Hibbert
Jags
Distin or Browning
Garbutt

Besic, Gibson (if fit), Osman, McGeady
Eto'o and Kone

off the bench - Ledson, Barkley and Atsu for example.

This keeps the following off for the night
Howard (on bench), Baines, Naismith, Mirallas, Lukaku, Pienaar, Coleman, Barry, Macca and whoever is on the injured list.

Is it only 2 yellows before you get banned in Europe? I thought it was 3 but I might be wrong like.

Seems a bit harsh that you can face the same length of ban for picking up 2 yellows in one game as you can for picking up 2 yellows in all the group games
 

At the group stages a player is suspended after 3 yellows so he is not banned yet. But after the 3rd yellow comes the 2 yellow rule, so every player is suspended after the 5th, 7th, etc. Page 34.

Dunno what will be better: playing him against Krasnodar with youngsters which means more responsibility and surely a yellow :-) or give him a break. If Macca and Barry can't make this Sunday then I think he won't play the Krasno game, those will need playtime who revocer from injuries.
