Agree with this and part of adding energy would be taking Barry out for Barkley. He is like a massive anchor on the whole team.
It isnt as simple as that. Barrys influence goes beyond the pitch. Sounds maybe stupid but Thats the way it is. Every team has players on the pitch that makes fans question their managers insanity.
 
I think it sticks in your head because your expectations of him at his age are too high.

It's more frustration with Barkley. The lad has bags of talent, and even though he is still only 21, for me, he should be showing more consistency (Martinez takes some blame though because of playing him all over the place) now because he's had a lot of first team football.

By the way, this isn't having a pop at Barkley, as I say, just frustration. Hopefully he's going to be boss this season.
 

Deulofeu was supposedly almost ready for yesterday,he said Besic will be fit for next week,I bet neither make it,he does really spout some garbage to us in relation to injuries,he has to pull a couple of rabbits out of the hat this week re: transfers to lift us all.
 
Who on here realisticly thinks we will sign player/players to be in the squad for the Southampton game?

I don't, will be the same squad and pretty much same time as yesterday.
 

4M spend is a poor excuse. It's not true you can't play exciting football without money and top players. Bielsa spent 3M net (so less than Martinez) and look how his Marseille ...

His Bilbao side was brilliant as well and he didn't buy anybody.

Exactly this, you can be boss without spending a damn penny.

Moyes showed us how to get results by defending as a unit and frustrating teams with intensity, which is essentially the 'un-doing' of us now we're all about this passing malarkey.

If we played quick break aways with barkley del, lukaku and Mirallas we'd smash most teams imo. They should be creating many chances per game and getting in behind the opposition defence, but you can't really do that when your managers goal is to achieve 600 passes before the opponent
 
We need a midfielder on the pitch who can thread through balls to Lukaku. Barkley is the only one in the entire midfield who tries. I hate to say this but Shelvey's display for Swansea yesterday just highlights how poor we are at feeding Lukaku. I'd love him in our team, he can tackle, score screamers and more importantly play through balls.

It cant be that hard to find a player in Europe who can pass a ball forward ffs!

Another forward and a creative midfielder to replace Barry is a must or we'll struggle this year
 
We've paid 28m for a striker and don't play to his strengths. I know he missed a sitter yesterday, but on the whole he has to come deep or hold it up both of which he isn't great at.

We need players that can come in and get him running on to balls.

We need new signings but also a change of system/tempo. We are basically too one dimensional until the last 20 mins and chase the game.

The French league, though.
