Ross Barkley

Thank god he gave away that penalty at Blackburn or he'd be too scared to leave the house now.
And we thought moyes screwed him up over it when in fact he was glad Ross gave it away cause his response to it was an incredible moment sat on the Leeds bench.
 
Just me that thought he played really well on Sat ???
I only saw the highlights of the first half however I did watch the 2nd half. I thought he was really good, worked hard defensively and played with directness and confidence.

I even thought the penalty was OK. Low and hard and looked pretty close to the corner. The keeper just guessed right. Baines should be taking them but if he's not feeling confident which is obvious since Rom has been taking them then we can't force him.
 

Don't get the Lampard comparisons. Ross is the way better dribbler, faster and stronger but he isn't really comparable as a midfielder based on what we've seen so far.

Lampard had much better vision, passing range, movement, decision making & intelligence.

Barkley's physical tools are undeniable but he's massively overrated because of his un-English style of play. He's yet to show he has the skillset of a true #10. 1 assist in 60 odd games is terrible for an attacking midfielder.

Lampard is not a great passer, and did not have the best vision.

He is great at shooting very hard, and arriving at the right time to slot.

Exactly why he would have beenterrible outside of the Prem.

You're joking right? Lampard was the number one playmaker for Chelsea for about a decade but he wasn't a great passer? His final pass was easily amongst the best of his generation.





Hate to use a solitary clips but someone that supposedly isn't a "great passer" couldn't pull that off.

I mean he's 3rd in the all time PL assist charts for a reason lad.

Yet he was consistently excellent in the Champions League which is the echelon of club football. Not sure I understand your logic...

He hit corners and free-kicks very hard, LAD. Thats why he got loads of assist. Also re-bounds counts too.

Im not saying he was pants, but hs passing was not one of his massive strong points.

Ross is a better passer, those cross field balls at the age of 21, says all that. But im not sure you will get any of that, lad.
