Ross Barkley

I don't think Ross will be going anywhere for several seasons if he leaves at all. I honestly think he bleeds blue and loves being here. Hodgson loves lamps and Gerrard too much to not play them at WC leaving wiltshire's posistion as Ross's best chance.

If he does end up going, can you imagine the fee!? It will break some sort of record that's for sure!
 
"crucially, most of his misjudgments occurred in advanced positions rather than, say, on the edge of his own box."

Just needed a manager with the balls to play him, and nous to play him in an advanced position whilst he learns

Strange thinking about that - your right - but its just strange.

When Moyes bought fellaini as a DM - the position fellaini even now says he wants to play...he realised he was costing us and not ready and moved him upfront ish out the way of being costly. He didnt seem to want to do that with Barkley though?

Then Martinez comes in...makes Barkley our number 10 attacking midfielder and moves Felli back to DM.

Mental how different they have approached an identical squad.
 

Thought he played better than Mata & Hazard. Not everything he tried came off but was a constant threat and got himself into good space.

Deffo different approaches to the squad. But Moyes seemingly distrusted youngsters, and his judgement was shot towards the end anyway....playing Phil Neville...
<leaves Osman out of this till Roberto drops/drop kicks him>
 
Great moment when we're passing the ball around with a minute or two left in the game just trying to kill time and someone passes it to Ross and he just immediately heads straight for goal. He has just one setting: destroy.
 

If we are being honest he gave the ball away too much in the final 3rd. However, he has to learn and improve and Martinez is giving him the chance to do just that. Got to love his attacking confidence.
 
The difference between Moyes and Martinez is perfectly shown up by young Ross. One mistake under Moyes and the hook comes out and rarely seen again, under Martinez don't worry about the odd mistake just show how good you are........
