Shame on him for been p####d off that our centre half done something incredibly stupid to cost us 3 points. He should have clapped him on the back and said well done ashley.
But well done rom for having a blast at goal from 35 yards with 2 defenders directly in front of you with team mates better placed. Crack on son you're going to lead us to the promised land
 
Barkley did well at everything bar just play the early ball when Lukaku was actually in space and we were breaking. 3 or 4 times he waited too long to release it and was dispossessed.
He Created everything good that we did & put lukaku through albeit wide with early ball at least 4 times.

Lukaku plays mirallas in first half its 2 nil instead he shoots from 30 yards into a
Defenders legs. Second half he rolls it along the box barkely taps in.

Barkley rolls one along the six yard box he is stood with his hands on his hips on the pen spot marked by two men.

His movement today was terrible & he did nothing other than up the tempo versus Saturday. He had plenty of service today
 

He did some decent things tonight, but spurned three chances to put goals on a plate for his teammates.

And that's Rom in a nutshell. He does nothing to benefit the team around him - only to benefit himself. And that's why he's a world class finisher, but a pretty bog standard footballer.

At this point, there's no point being annoyed at him for tonight. You have to accept that he's laser focused on getting goals, often to the detriment of the side as a whole.
 

Seems the knives are out and our 21 goal man is the scapegoat. Go ed lads, tear into him!

He's not top drawer by any standard, which may scupper the chance of getting over 70m for him.

he is decent though and will get 20 a season for any half decent side.

That's the problem - "half decent" sides can't afford him, because the goals carry a premium value.

And top sides won't want him, because he's a liability for the team far too often.

We're a half decent side, and so he's here. He's actually at his level with us as a footballer, but the FIFA-playing, Premier League culture of "goals rule everything" makes people think he's world class. He's really not though; only in some departments. In others, he's average at best.
