Ross Barkley

Even when he doesn't receive the ball he pulls players out of position with his movement, creating space for others. Pity Hodgson doesn't see this and utilise it.

Think he should start v Costa Rica? Probably won't.

 

[KevMirallas]

Hope he doesn't. Put your feet up and get ready for preseason, Ross.

Duno why Ross even bothers every time he gets the ball Rooney tries to tackle him

Yep, could see it as soon as he came on really, we starting spreading it about much quicker in to open spaces

Any news on a new deal 5yr extension!!
Offer him 40k now add in milestones and when he triggers them his contract increases to 50,60,70,80 etc. will keep him working hard and progressing.

Also what is everyone's view on Ross. He's a blue loves the club like all of us but do you think in the next couple of years he will want to move or is he more of a Osman jibber carragher Gerrard type one club player?

...Hawwy Redknapp saying the England team should be built around him. Stevie G wont stand for that, he wants to be the main man.

I think he'll remain with us.

Barkley has no chance with Rooney and Gerrard in that side, I actually think Rooney is jealous of him.

I was hoping the end of the world cup might see the international retirement of Stevie (its all about me) G

Liam Brady said that England and Rooney looked much better when Barkley came on.
I have watched both games and I said this after the first game but imo Sterling(at present)
is overrated.
He doesn't appear to play with the intelligence of a top class player.
Barkley does, Rooney did at that age.

Barkley has something that no player in that squad has - the ability to run with the ball at pace with strength and control. When he takes the ball, he does with a stride length that immediately takes him away from his marker. He frees up a player nearly every time.

Hodgson should have started him.

"I'm not prepared to address your obsession with Ross Barkley," said Hodgson.

"He lost the ball an awful lot of times as well. If he's going to be the player we want him to be, he has to make better decisions of when he turns with the ball.

"That's not a criticism, but there were other performances out there today who merited your 'obsession' more than Ross Barkley's.

The dinosaur joins Moyes as another idiot who just can't embrace an amazing talent.

Exactly and how's he going to improve? By playing. Start the lad against Costa Rica and unleash the beast
