Special Juan 28,141 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 On 10/10/2018 at 5:35 PM, Vybzkartel said: I think he can take Barkely's spot if given the chance. He keeps the ball better, dribbles better, and passes better than Ross. He nneds to be hungry and take the minutes handed to him by the horn. Thursday was a good start he didn't too bad to kill off his future chances. This international break will do wonders for him tactically I think. Another point is he plays better when he has a run of games watch his Palace games, he got better and better each time he played and with enough Europa and League Cup starts in the coming months who knows he might be starting for us after impressing. He won't get a run of games here, unless something drastic happens like a long term injury or suspension occurs. Kovacic and Barkley are ahead of him in the pecking order. I cannot see a long term for him at this football club, I just can't. Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I remember as a 14 year old there was a kid on our team who was a superb player the trouble was he'd only do something if the ball came to him. What I mean by that was he'd never look for the ball or put pressure on the opposition he'd coast for most of the game. Same goes for RLC he just doesn't get involved enough I think he's scared of making a mistake and only gets involved intermittently it was the same when he played for England against Belgium. It's a shame because I'm really not convinced by Barkley even if he is improving and Ruben is potentially a better player but it looks like that's three managers in Maureen, Conte and Sarri who don't particularly rate him.

Vybzkartel 284 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 He needs to leave Chelsea on a permanent basis in January for his own career. If Chelsea value him they will buy him from wherever he goes. At age 22 he needs game time something we are unwilling to do. His talented enough to be a regular EPL starter for most teams in England so he should go for the sake of his own career. He should look at KDB and Salah as good examples, put the graft in at a smaller club eventually your talent will shine and a big move will come along sooner rather than later.

If KDb and Salah could not get a game, RLC chances don't look so good. On the other hand, things could change if we get CL for next season with a lot more important games in the schedule. The problem is that every manager is under pressure with little to no incentive to take chances with younger players. So, either these players show a lot in practice or they won't get minutes. I know that some players simply have that drive to impress the manager in practice sessions, while others don't. Don't see this changing until our managers last longer than a season or two.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Barkley was asked to do more, score more and has delivered. RLC also asked to contribute more and has delivered. Love the attitude of our young english midfielders. Got to find a formation where we can play all 5 of our sexy midfielder at once. Defence- Kante-Jorginho-Kovacic Barkley-RLC-Hazard 4-6-0 we would have 90% posession and every game would end 0-0 or 1-0 haha but it would fix our lack of quality in the ST and RW position and at the same time take a lot of strain from the defence with all those combative beasts in front of them.

Vybzkartel 284 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 If Sarri rotates all 3 well, they would be happy. It means all will have about 20-25 plus starts at the end of the season which is more than good enough if we do well in the Europa and League and other cups. Look at City they rotate Mahrez, KDB, Silva, B Silva,Sane and Gundogan effortlessly and I dont hear any moaning about game time. As long as the rotation is done properly we will be fine. quickpassnmove 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork 1,794 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Every game he has started he has been arguably the best player, based on merit he definitely deserves more playing time. Think Kovacic, Barkley, and RLC all are playing well. Think Kovacic should be in more of competition with Kante. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jernej93 569 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Barkley and RLC really putting pressure on Kante-Kovacic which is great, just think that only 6 months ago our biggest problem was midfield. We can afford to rotate more and start without Kante against bottom table clubs to add extra creativity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccg 1,528 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 “I have a little problem as I have to put 11 players in the starting XI and I have 28 players. It’s a little problem and I don’t know how to solve it. As I said before, I have a tactical problem with the midfielders. We need to work and they have to improve in the defensive phase. In the future I may be able to put Barkley and Loftus in the same starting XI.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
