Or he needs to play in a possession team that mostly just needs to snuff out the counter when defending.
Put him in midfield and play on the front foot and he would shine.

How many times have tha people round that table seen him play
Everyone so quick to criticise.
Yet other players seem to have free pass no matter how bad they play

I wish they would leave him alone, this isnt going to help him at all, to much focus on a player who is struggling.

Don;t think there is anything that everyone getting off his case wouldn't solve. Poor lad can't fart without scrutiny.
Ross is wasted in this country, shocking the treatment this lad gets from the media.

I think the club are doing their bit by keeping him out of spotlight. There is some underlying reason we dont know about. Hopefully the club and himself will get through it and he will become the player we all know he can be.

Got shot down yesterday for suggesting this game could have suited Ross as he'd get more space and, the way they set up, there would be loads of opportunities for breakaways. Turns out there was but nobody with the composure or ability to take advantage.
I'd still probably have played 3 defensive midfielders but found slot for Ross in the front 3. Think he could have excelled

He hasn't been as bad as people are making out, its frustrating how he is single out for performing badly when the team as a whole has generally performed badly. He desperately does need to start putting in big performances when he gets back into the team. Hope he starts against burnley and we go with two holders, two wide, Ross in behind rom and go there to stuff them.
Lol any player who plays badly gets criticised not just Barkley. People seem deluded that they think we target him intentionally. Why would we..

It's not so much what they're saying. Lot of truth in it actually and they're not really slating him as such. It's more the fact that they're highlighting an issue that we can do without. Leave the lad to get himself right in his own time I say.
Other young players have been through bad patches and nothing said. Dele Alli was awful in the euros and since for England, and is only just getting his form back for Spurs, but absolutely nothing is said about it. Whereas this is about the third big article that I'm aware of, on Ross in national TV & press in the last week or so. Even Koeman has lost his temper at press conferences because he's fed up answering question on him.
In fairness, most of the articles are quite supportive and you can almost see them willing him to get back on track; probably because they see him as the future saviour of the national team.
Don't think they are saying anything that is too far off the mark. When he gets back to his best then any shortcomings can be forgiven.
