Barkley has regressed season on season since 13-14 (the only truly great season he's ever had). The season just gone was a definite improvement on the previous two from Ross so If Koemans though love style management hasn't worked then Martinez's style of best mate manager routine was an even bigger failure. If both of those styles don't work then you have to start questioning if Ross is the problem rather then the managers styles.This is constantly on repeat but holds no substance in my opinion despite it seeming to be accepted as gospel.
I don't think Koeman has improved Barkley, if anything he's regressed. In Martinez's first season he was better than he was last year and he also managed to hold a place and play regularly for a better England team than the present one.
He's gone backwards and the tough love has had a negative effect as it will do with most modern day footballers, at all levels, within football clubs.
