MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 He's a bang average player that somehow continues to be trusted by Sarri. Barkley has no business starting games against big teams. Clockwork 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have Paul pogba, there is no way we will play Barkley but we have either rlc who has not played in 2 months, Barkley or kovacic.

RLC should definitively start against Tottenham, he played great in his cameo. Johnnyeye and Vesper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y10edn 185 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Really frustrating watching him, his touches are usually like Lukaku's and decision making could be a lot better. He actually slows the team offence down by playing backwards, taking the unnecessarily extra touch. However I enjoyed the beautiful free kick: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 And Sigurdsson is having a poor season too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Who's that decent, but not great English midfielder playing for Chelsea?" He's a very good squad player but simply not good enough to start regularly for Chelsea.

Superblue 6,372 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Played very well last night when he came on for England. Firstly it showed what a complete hopeless waste it is for England to play both Henderson and Dier in the middle (who provide a combined creative outlet of exactly zero) but I was also impressed Barkley playing that little bit deeper more in a 4-2-3-1 formation which I believe is the way forward for Chelsea. His work rate and honesty have always been there and he has improved tactically this season and can be more trusted to play in a disciplined manner. The problem is I believe it's gone too far the other way. When he plays for Chelsea he plays the safe ball too often, just trying to recycle possession when we need him to be more of a driving force and making things happen in the final third. The ability is there, I've no doubts about that and I still think for a homegrown England international in his mid 20's that £15m in the current climate is an absolute snip. He just needs the right role and manager to bring that extra out of him that he showed last night and hasn't been recently for Chelsea.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Best man on the pitch..made the equalizer, with a great fk, scored the goals that won the game and also released steling for no.4 albeit onöy vs Montenegro but with the right coach he could be a player that makes the difference, surely not in sarris rigid tactical corset where he will always be average tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 "it's Montenegro but," well the most important thing is that it was against very weak opposition. While I do like Ross and agree he can still improve becoming an important player for us, this performance means very little. The same applies to Odoi, but CHO fans will have a meltdown as usual.

So true. Barkley has put in fantastic performances against Europa league opposition as well. I really want RLC to climb up the pecking order instead....even if Barkley is the more established of the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
