I've got to say mate, with watching a shed load of Euro footy for work, I can reasonably say that there aren't many players in the very top teams in each league that do what Barkley does regularly with such ease. That's not going overboard, it's just how it is.

Please stop feeding him.
Take a look at his posts, hes clearly not an Everton fan, put him on ignore.

Aye. The stuff Barkley messes up will/may come with experience. The amazing stuff he can do is natural and cant be taught.
Say there Toff old bean, me and you have been backing each other up now in a few threads. We obviously think the same. Ive got your back buddy.

Think it was you Charlie who said it, would you still swap him for Deli Alli?

Yes of course I'm a Blue and a proud one at that. I have different opinions which shouldn't be a crime. I love Martinez and believe in his style of play. I fall foul of this wooly mammoth mantra on here that our squad either contains absolute world beaters or the dregs of society. I prefer to take a more balanced view.
Yes mate. I think Deli Alli is, and will be, a better player than Barkley. I don't take any joy from saying that and would agree they really pretty close at the moment but I honestly believe Ali has a better chance of truly.making it.

What, you mean playing regularly for a top prem team and getting in the national side? Hmmmmm I wonder when Ross will reach those dizzy heights!
I don't think we all think Barkley is a world beater mate.
But how you haven't changed your opinion even slightly of him since the summer is unbelievable, quite frankly. Your main argument then was that his end product was poor, and you still argue that point...
This season, Barkley has scored 12 goals so far. 11 for Everton, 1 for England.
He's got 11 assists - 8 for Everton, 3 for England.
That defines 'end product', and proves your point, which may have very well been valid at the time, now completely defunct.
You say Alli is the better player.
Bare in mind that this is his first season in this league. In Barkley's first season he was equally as impressive as Alli.
Alli, this season, has 6 goals and 7 assists for Spurs, plus 1 goal for England.
He is two years younger than Barkley, but the same age as when Barkley came through into our side.
In Barkley's break-through season he got 7 goals and 3 assists, so stats that really are not all that different.

2 for England so 13 overall so far.
Lampard, Scholes and Gerrard were probably the best 3 goalscoring midfielders of their generation.
Scholes got 14 in the season he was 22 but didn't get more than this until he was 29, Gerrard got 10 in the season he was 20 but didn't hit double figures again until he was 26, Lampard got 14 in a season when 21 but didn't score that many again until 26.
Would love them both is that allowed? Really do like Alli and think comparisons very difficult.
I'd want Barkley think mainly because he's a blue but if Alli continues to develop England have got a hell of spine there.
I'm sure he was at the Superbowl last night.
