Ross Barkley

[R.Reddington]

Well played Ross,
great passion tonight lad.

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

Was boss, Ross.

 

[Ring master]

Started more nervous than others for me,give the ball away that nearly led to a chance for them,then grew more and more in the game,expected him to shoot with that chance last min,instead of trying the pass,did well

 

[Rook]

McCarthy/Valencia/Arse's style of play probably gave him space to do things. He was also occasionally popping up on both sides of the box when he's usually glued to the LCM position.

Wish he'd look up once in a while.

Did some great things and some stupid things tonight.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Still a problem with decision making but if he gets some confidence again he is a top top player. not a number 10. Much better at picking the ball up deeper and running at people.

 

[EFCPaul]

Seemed to have more self-belief tonight and looked so much better for it. That's better lad.

 

[grandjoeblue]

Needs to start on Monday.

 

[ParisToffee]

Started niave and lackin energy but at around 25 min mark whenhe lost ball and himself, baines and Mccarthy put in big tackles to win it back and Goodison roared their approval, he started to run, tackle and get in the face of arsenal players Hopefully same again for 90 minutes monday

Agree but we can only do that with McCarthy and Gana along side him as they have the legs that Barry doesnt, they can cover more ground.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Well in lad. More of that please.

 

[Walken]

Still a problem with decision making but if he gets some confidence again he is a top top player. not a number 10. Much better at picking the ball up deeper and running at people.

Agree with that, playing him as an out an out 10 will kill him off

 

[JR-90]

Brilliant tonight Ross

That bit of play you described there was the turning point. The atmosphere and game turned on its head right there. Had a feel of the Neville tackle on Ronaldo to it.

That one moment won us the game tonight, everyone around me stood up shouting "That's it lads, come onnnnn!!"
Funny old game football isn't it??
