Ross Barkley

It can't be easy to play out of position, on your weaker foot, and with Moyes just a few yards away continually shouting you your instructions every second of the game. That said, Barkley disappointed me a bit. He didn't look sharp and dallied too long on a number of occasions. Maybe because of instructions, but he was never looking to do anything incisive. As The Executioners Blog reports, the very last pass he played, which was a dreadful one that gave Spurs possession, was a backward pass when he had more forward options available. I hope he's not had his instinctive tendencies to go forward knocked out of him.


The boy learns quick.
 
He was the worst player on the pitch against Spurs but maybe a home game v QPR might be more suitable for him at this present time.
 
I would. Osman badly needs to be dropped and Jelavic is in terrible form, right now.

Kev and Pienaar on the wings, ross in front of felli and gibson. Vic up top.

Would give you 10 thumbs up for this summary and formation, if it was allowed, if I had ten thumbs, and they would all fit etc
 

Even if he played a bit like a rabbit in the headlights, Moyes starting him obviously shows he's been working hard enough in training recently and rewarded him with a start. I know this wasn't his debut but just look back on Coleman's debut when got torn apart by Di Maria, and where he is now.
 
To be fair, Ross was fairly underwhelming, but I was not at all expecting Moyes to throw him in (starting ffs?!) against spurs. However, the lad will take experience from it and we did play well so maybe a couple more of those and some proper 30 minutes from now til the end of the season will be huge in his development and possibly a secret weapon for us next year? Spend the Fellaini money on other areas and let Ross come into the team
 
....253 pages and counting. Seeing is believing and I don't see anything that makes me think this boy is worth much of the hype in this thread. Dearly hope I'm proven wrong, but I just don't think he's good enough.
 
Maybe you guys are underrating your squad. You are fighting for top 4 and pretty much on the same level as Spurs and us, so would barkley get games for those teams? Him not getting games for Everton doesnt mean he's not a big talent. Even a big talent like Chamberlain cant start games for us, sometimes people forget we are dealing with kids in the likes of barkley and chamberlain and this is huge pressure time of the season. They will get games in the future. the fact that they are part of first team at their age says alot about their talent
 

people like you don't deserve to have these kids come through, to enjoy.

What a disgrace you are.

No doubt you will be at the front singing his name when he is putting them in from 40 yards in the future.

No wonder he is low on confidence, when this is the support he gets.

What a ridiculous thing to write.
I thought he was awful, so I said so. I don't think he'll make it, so I said so. Doesn't mean I didn't clap him off, and of course I hope I'm wrong. "Support" isn't lying about what you see though.
 
I find this incredible considering talksport were raving saying he looks quite a prospect, not the finished article but did well out wide and put himself about.

Genuinely haven't seen it since the start of last season, when I also thought he looked good. Spurs I genuinely thought he was dreadful.

Our squad isn't mate; our first team is.

Agree completely with the rest of your post.

This is pretty much exactly how I feel. Felt the same with Vaughan (but not to the same extent) and Cadamarteri. And Jevons.
