He played well enough today. Would like to see more of him the run in to the end of the season.

How was that a yellow card though? It wasn't a foul and it took Shawcross about six fouls to get booked but Jones carded Barkley for his first offence. Poor refereeing.
 
Haven't seen any replays on TV but from where I was sitting that yellow card was an absolute disgrace.

I thought Ross done ok. But there's definately something missing. I want to see him going forward he seems to look for the simple pass all the time. However he's definately a fantastic prospect and I'm sure he'll grow with every game. Still not enough playing time for me though.

Probably too scared of trying something in case it doesn't come off and he looks bad.

Was fine today, didn't cost us the game, looked to get involve. Couple of loose passes, 1 good crossfield ball to Coleman.

The kind of 15 min cameo i've been saying our young players need to be getting.
 

Thought it was a bit odd to play him LW when he came on, would like to see him in the Fellaini role playing just off Jelavic.
 
Hope he gets more run outs from now till the end of the season. He needs to grow in confidence and he will only get that with more games. Just hope he doesn't try too hard and can relax and play a natural game. His decision making will come with time. A couple of loose balls but lets be honest here, who in our team is not guilty of it.
 
Thought he did ok, what I like about him is he wants the ball, he wants to take responsibility, it doesn't always come off but that will come with experience, making the right decisions. He needs to keep getting this gametime to get his confidence going and things will fall into place for him i'm sure.
 
What was going on with his sub today? He gets ready at like 65ish minutes, then sits back down for another 10 minutes. Literally nothing in the game changed at all, it was exactly the same apart from us having those 2 freekicks. Moyes boggles my mind!

Yeh noticed this too. Had him
In shorts for about 10mins. It was as if Moyes was waiting for them to score or something.

Barkley got kitted up at 63 minutes and got on the pitch at 74 minutes. That was 16 more minutes that I was expecting him to get though.
 
Great tackle when he got booked. Ridiculous that there was a foul given never mind a card.

Lost the ball a bit too much when he came on, but I have a question.

Does he 'try too much' because he doesn't get any game time and feel he has to impress rather than just play it simple?
 
Was nice to see the lid today, albeit briefly.

He certainly didnt look out of place, tried to keep the ball ticking over and always tried to find space to receive the ball.

Well done Ross.
