rbcuk Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Didn’t think he could be anyworse than last weekend, but that takes it, dreadful it’s like playing with 10men 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Period on the bench needed. Certainly wouldn’t be paying anywhere near the 30/40m price tag that is getting thrown about. Thought I’d massively misjudged him after his first few games here but he is exactly the player I remember from Chelsea. Even worse is I at least thought we’d get some graft.

Phil Silvers Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Not sure whats missing but really not up to the standard you would expect of such a good footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Awful performance yet again and does he have a performance clause? Gave the ball away several times, no effort to track back and ducked out of challenges. It's the same every game. I'd say £20 million is too much for him based on his performances and yet Chelski want £40 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 The pressing doesn't work as he doesn't pull his weight and he doesn't offer enough when we have the ball so Grealish becomes too easy to double down as we lack threat in the middle. Passenger atm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 He’s not fit and looks like a liability. Doesn’t look like a grafter defensively: wants to be involved in offensive build up (not v well lately), but won’t get stuck in on the messy side of things. This is Drinkwater all over again. ‘Let’s play him so we can see him at full fitness’. ‘To drop him would hurt his confidence’. ‘A Ross firing on all cylinders will be amazing’. He needs to be dropped. He’s not worth £10m let alone the £30m that was mentioned in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto_Villan Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 We really have dodged a bullet getting Ross in on loan, imo (which I assume is good fortune rather than good planning in this case). Sometimes a signing just doesn't work out despite being a great fit on paper, and it's really nice to think that we don't have to have him sitting on our books for 4 years on £100k a week or something insane. Unless we decide to buy him in the summer, of course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Awful. Think we should look elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will87 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Why is he still playing? It's the same every game. Blatant favouritism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheVilla26 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Barkley is like a kid who plays U11s. He's a bit rotund, don't run about, the other parents want him dropped out the team but the manager thinks that in every game, he will bang one in out of nowhere or he's best mates with the players Dad. He's been shyte recently, despite the header v Soton, but even for him tonight was another level of pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Yeah that was really bad. He has had a whole week since the last match so him not training much can't excuse that performance. The fact he is so immobile means the rest of the front 4 can't rotate as much as they were and Jack is easier to mark out of the game. I hope we move Jack into the middle for a spell now.

I don't want to see Barkley starting next week, that's for sure. True. He hasn't really had the chance to take off yet. Hopefully he has good people around him and not too many hangars-on. I'm sure if we give him time he'll be flying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eligius Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Pretty much every Villa player has improved under Dean Smith, just haven't seen it with Barkley. He has a lot more quality than what he is showing at the moment. Hopefully Morgan will start ahead of him next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I am starting to think that his best position is impact sub. He always looks lively when he comes off the bench for Chelsea. I really hope we have canned any thoughts of buying him. Too expensive in every way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
