Ross Barkley

[Zatara]

This is a forum to discuss Everton where Shaqiri is a current discussion topic throughout the press.

If you feel the need to reply rudely to a post (which has a ? As a caveat inside) based on current news then i'd suggest you're the one behaving improperly.

please stop putting players in positions who we havent/will never sign. its cringy kopite behaviour

Very direct like Kanchelskis but also seems to have a bit of the Mirallas about him....seems to be a winger shifted centrally so he can see more of the ball.

Mate, hes played his best footy in that role though for the national side, he is naturally a cam who has played wide a lot for his club sides due to being effectively a backup their

Now if you were to say he isnt purely a playmaker type when played their your spot on

It's pointless trying.

 

[OKEvertonian]

At least this was really awesome today.

 

[KevMirallas]

He certainly wasn't our worst, goal aside. Cracking goal though.

 

[RFUS]

Hopefully we'll see more of the confident, instinctual Ross now.

When he stops (over) thinking and just goes for it, he makes great things happen.

 

[anyone]

He should stop dribbling himself and start playing.

Nice goal.

 

[longers]

think his shot was maybe going wide looking at this, deflection is much more noticeable

do not give a damm their goals were deflected - RB was our one man midfield, with flashes of KM - Coleman was our only other threat, defensively blame the misfield lack of pressure and cover - Cleverly and McCarthy were culprits!

He has to think becuse when he looks up no one to pass to in a good attacking position!

Vision?? I think not...how many assists has he made since becoming a first team regular? Overrated in the extreme and is a luxury that Martinez cannot indulge with the club's current precarious form.

Delusion? The reason he looked good against QPR is because he was allowed time on the ball; same with the Villa match. Let's see him do the same week in week out against opponents who press harder...a skillful bull in a china shop, thats Ross. A world class CM he will never be however much people want him to be...

Time to get off this thread; the blind adulation for a limited CM does my head in. Ross Barkley is the most overratedf footballer in English football today.

Biggest English talent ? God save the English football. Overated and overhyped averageness

He's shown glimpses of it, thats it. I've never seen him have two good games in a row.

I spoke my mind after the Stoke game and fans jumped on me for it, he's a player you can't berate at all, everyone fully believes he's a superstar BEFORE he is.

He stunk out the place against Stoke and yesterday what he did was a joke, a perfect pass to Newcastle for their goal, then when we needed to score in the dying minutes instead of passing to a blue shirt he dribbles into trouble, loses it then walks away.

All hype no product.

Barkley is all hype, going to keep saying that because it will be easier to take when we realise he's just another average player.

Edit; he will cost us more goals and more points if he plays in the middle too, Martinez can't trust to play him in the centre most of the time because he gives the ball away so often in a game. Just my 2 cents

If a 50m offer came in for Barkley, I would give a blowie to the other chairman and thank him for his business.

45 million and its barkley who? I'm afraid...

sell him

Oh it was Naismith fault Ross was once again Rubbish, he would be hard pressed to MOM if he was the only man on the pitch.
Wake up he his vastly overrated and a liability most of the time.
Besic will be long remembered, when Ross is forgotten.

Take the money.

If big money comes in for him I would get rid. He is seriously overrated! Does my head in when he just strolls around when we haven't got the ball like he is a superstar!

I think his problem is.... he's as thick as pigsh*t

All this hooey about 'football intelligence', you actually need a bit of actual intelligence as well - He looks like a gorm on a football pitch, especially when he gives the ball away and let's his man drift past him like a f*cking zephyr

He has been atrocious for a while now except for a couple of decent goals..

He needs dropping, and if someone offered 40 million I'd bite thier hands off...

Remember Jeffers and Cadamatri.....

He'll be playing in the Championship in two years time.

We would never sell, but we should. His value will barely be £12-15m by year-end, at this rate.

We played a blinder getting shut of Rodwell when we did, no-one has a second thought about that lad anymore.

The vaulting you are all going to receive some time soon will be biblical. BIBLICAL.

I have never seen mate, and yes he would have.
He has all the tools in his box but no idea how to use them, the game just passes him bye.
if any fool bids over 20 mil for him it and quick.

'Kin sell him.

Time to take the money and run ,if some team offer silly money ie 30 mill plus take the hands of them. Has he ever bossed 3or 4 games in a row or just what has he done to get all this hype,lets be blunt about it hes no Rooney. For me a future Everton team built around Mc Carthy and Besic would be the ticket.

Terribly over rated. Get rid of him. Awful.

sell him now

Sell him now before he turns in to a Jeffers..

He's "one of us" so gets so much praise, and i get it...i do. I want more than anything a scouse Evertonian to succeed and do something we all dream of.

But he's all hype no product. I've seen it far too many times over the years. He's not the messiah, he's a very average boy.

Yep exactly! I have been getting scolded every week for not defending this lad, people talking about his age etc but it's just excuses - there are plenty of 21 yr olds playing better than him week in week out.

I'd sell Barkley before Stones

Ross would be supported if he was able to show even ten percent of the talent he is supposed to have. But he hides...all the game...frightened to tackle and frightened to be tackled, all game avoiding any confrontatation and trying not to be anywhere were he might recieve a pass. And if he's 'unfortunate' enough to recieve the ball, he gets rid as quickly as possible in the simplest way possible ,without flair and without positive intention. He's either finished in the Prem, and has been over hyped because of a few magic moments, and has to buck his ideas up or really consider whether professional football at the top level is for him. Hope I'm wrong, but thats how I see it at present.

Possibly the worst CM at the club

Gibson should start ahead of the lad

Can see him leaving in a few years for around 15m like Rodwell

hes scare shitless and will never be the player he was .

Serious question, what does this lad offer the team when he starts? All I see is a player strolling around the pitch like he is some sort of superstar already and not impacting on the game whatsoever! I honestly would sell him in the summer if a decent bid came in for him.

He's been diabolical last few games.

People are over rating him. He's been completely average and some of his decision making and shots were terrible.
Martinez has to take him off if he plays like he is.

Uber gash

Some still thinking Barkley will break through, lol. He's not the real deal. Physically unique but limited mentally.

he is not lacking confidence he is an over hyped out of his depth average footballer end of discussion

Interesting to read back this thread.

I'm glad we stuck with him.
