England really need to start playing him regularly to have a chance at the tournament. There's no one who has his technical ability on that team and against the better sides that will be the difference.

What are you on about. He scored against Watford and was our MOM and scored again against Southampton and was our best outfield player against City and best attacking player against Spurs. Barkley has become this player that if Everton play well everyone says he played well and when the team play badly he gets blamed.
It's just not fair. He's not that kind of player yet, a player that can carry a whole team on his shoulders and we have to stop judging him like that. In time definitely he might become that but for now he needs better players around him - playing Deulofeu and Besic would be a start.

He has a poor first half but a better second half. Goals he got a goal, let's hope Roy does not break him again
But Roy likes rigidity and no player movement or flair, from what I've seen, so he definitely won't be starting many games against good opposition or in the tournament.
His little dinked ball over the defence for walcotts 2nd (or was it Kanes?) was boss.
Forza Barkley!
Forza Barkley!
Tbf to Roy I think that including him in the England squad earlier this year when Ross was on an awful run of form for us actually helped his confidence a lot.

He might force his way into the team the same way Gazza did before 1990 but I agree he will need a big year.

Prob good to stick this in here too.
Not many people seem to have noticed the standard of expectation for a midfielder have now changed.
Its Gerrard and Lampard that have changed this, but ironically see the stats tell a different story.
Looking at the first 100 senior games, this is over approx 3/4 season.
Lampard
Games - 101
Goals -16
Ratio - 1 in 6
England caps at this point - 0
Gerrard
Games - 96
Goals - 9
Ratio - 1 in 11
England caps at this point - 2
Barkley
Games - 114
Goals - 14
Ratio - 1 in 8
England caps at this point - 14 and 1 goal
Problem is, they compare Ross now with how others were at 28, that's completely unfair. It should be compared as above.

I'm confused, Gerrard played less games, scored more goals and has a worse ratio?
Pabbers

Edited, got Ross' goals wrong

Great post mate
Though I didn't know the exact stats like yourself
I would have had a bet just on memory
That Gerard lampard and even scholes weren't scoring 15/20 goals a season early in their careers
You will probably find as well Barkley has less minutes on the pitch
Though you have him on 114 games how many has he stated 70? And also he was getting substituted quite a lot

That just a convenient narrative. Roy has been pretty good selecting promising youngsters and incorporating them in the set up. The players ready for the step up have been given the game time.
