Ross Barkley

[edge]

I'm sure you did, but I can remember fighting with Darracott when he was coach in a club in town, rolling over tables and having murder with half the team ! A few shouts and the odd abuse while at a 'gas' ? station should be water off a duck's arse!

hope you won the fight,he deserved a dig for being one of the worst Everton players i have ever seen

Ronaldo was thriving on being booed at around the same age. I know Ross is no Ronaldo, and I really want us to get back to the top with him as our leader on the pitch, but ffs Ross.

Barkley needs to get over his emotional insecurities and play football. Your never going to develop if some fans are critical of you. In the end , thats what should make you stronger. I love the kids but he needs to grow some b**s

Honestly, I think Martinez has fed this narrative to a lot of them. "Don't worry if we're crap lads, it's those over critical fans out there who are to blame. Just listen to them booing when we get beat at home by West Brom."

The lot of them need to get a grip. Players under perform, fans boo.

What have we got?????

No hope?

 

[dannyboy]

People saying that the fans have driven these players away are deluded. These clubs they're off to have fans every bit as ruthless/impatient as ours.

Do Barkley and Stones think they'll be getting standing ovations for making mistakes in a Chelsea/Man City that's badly under performing?

No hope?

When have we got it?

Ronaldo was booed due to antics, Barkley booed when he makes mistakes. There a difference

So booing Barkley and Stones will make us a better team?
Internet hysteria can distort logic to it's ultimate extreme it seems.
Great site lads.

Were the Utd fans booing Ronaldo?

Barkley is booed by his own fans in front of his team mates and also his rivals on the pitch. Must be painful for Barkley and you can see how confidence being broken. The fans do have to share the blame with Martinez and the same for Moyes. These kids are not strong enough to take crap from the fans.

Fair point. I still don't recall this mass booing of Barkley by the way.

When have we got it?

Now!

....I think the lack of offensive midfielders isn't helping his game. I not too concerned about playing two defensive central midfielders but having 'industrious' wide players (Lennon, Cleverley etc) means all of the responsibility to link back to front is on him. Earlier in the season his regular 'out ball' was to Deulofeu and we looked a real threat but now he has less options and our performances have dipped.

You can hear the groans and the moaning when he doent make the right decision.

Yep we have been crying for another playmaker but Martinez decided to spend the money on naisse
