So glad for the lad, finally feeling at home on the ground (s), sure i read before on previous page someone comparing ross to the mighty zidane and another post mentioning berbatov i think, now this is where the problems with the doubters has been coming from players like berbatov and especially zidane all the talent you could ask for in a player and this is where people have been confused so doubted the mighty ross, when you look at zidane and berbatov the difference is composure, which then brings out the confidence in your own game and as for these 2 theyve grown and learnt through the ranks of there teams so its all fallen into place at an early age as would be expected, but with ross, the lads got all the magic and will hit the heights of these lads but up untill now ross has still been the lad next door, the lad staying after school for a kick around and then down the park with his mates in the evening for a a game of 14 down. so just the starting your career, finding that composure and confidence is a hell of a lot bigger task on its own, so obviously will take a bit more time. he’s on his way tho people so dont be worrying!! (as for zidane, if only!!!!

Huh?
 

That gigantic list of people's thoughts on Barkley contains my name. The problem with it is it's ok trying to be smug now and say how wrong we were for doubting him and he's Boss Barkley again.

But it's been 5/6 games. Barkley was absolutely DREADFUL for the majority of last season and deserved some of the stick he got. This season he deserves a LOT of praise because he's been fantastic.

But it doesn't mean one group is right and the other is wrong. People can only judge off what they see, seems quite a few saw a very poor player last season, this season we're seeing upto now a fantastic player. Here's hoping he stays in the latter and keeps us all positive!
 
He's looking every bit the number 10 at the moment, a quality number 10. I'm not sure he is currently made out for central midfield at the moment, as has been suggested, as his tackling and defensive work actually leaves a lot to be desired.

People get too hung up that anyone playing in midfield has to be a good tackler or solid defensively, toure is poor, ballack was, zidane was, hell lampard was crap at it and they all played a,lot of time centrally, depends on the rest of the team being aware and the tactics allowing for it
