Ross Barkley joins Chelsea, er, Villa on loan

[Tubey]

He did well - indeed, Lampard's error in taking him off instead of Mount was a large reason for the collapse.

He was decent for 30 mins, but poor after until the hook.

I think the fantastic tackle from Wan-Bissaka when he was bearing down on the United box completely changed his outlook.

Correlation ≠ causation.

It literally did in this case

His problem has always been in his head, not his feet. When he plays instinctively, he’s very good, with time to think, makes poor decisions.

The thing with Ross is that when the passing option closes and he cant get his initial pass option off, he cant safely protect the ball and try again...he gets stripped of it far too often.

That result will destroy his brittleness confidence. Lampard won’t take prisoners. I’ll be surprised if he starts the next game.

Thats where the brain comes into play and he doesnt have one.

He will be floating about West Ham/ Newcastle team soon enough.

That result had nothing to do with Barkley. You could say they fell apart after Barkley got took off.

Wonder what Ross thinks about Frank the planks coaching lol

Why have they stopped coaching him again ? lol

Chelsea went from losing the match to losing the match. what a collapse.

If so then Mount and Abraham will be on the bench cos both were bad. Mount faded quickly and Abraham isn't cut for this level

He'll never go to that level.

Lampard will figure it out. He's lucky Chelsea have ban. He'll be persevered with and I'd back him to remain a starter. He needs a goal or two to get confidence.

He's just not improved since that first season when he burst on the scene. If anything, he's worse.

He's not good or consistent enough for that level, if he hasnt cracked it now he never will.

It's a pivotal season in that respect.

However, if he slips out of the elite, he'll go to a best of the rest club like back here or to Leicester, or abroad to a good club. You wont see Barkley in a West Ham shirt or Newcastle shirt. That truly would be like giving donkey's strawberries.
