KenjiOgiwara Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) He had one 30 meter sprint backwards to recover the ball which had me laughing out loud. It was like seeing a ostrich flying. Edited March 4, 2021 by KenjiOgiwara 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did look a bit more energetic, not much he could do with that yesterday, and I'm one of his harshest critics. As you know, sometimes when the fanbase has an opinion in their head, it's an open and shut case regardless of what happens. Lol Especially given the circumstances, if the overall result and performance was different, he'd probably get a pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a No. 10 can be allowed get things wrong, Jack, De Bruyne dont get everything right but they still attempt them. Last night from Barkley was no dribbles, forward passing or even long shots. Was conservative safe play, if was Conor in that position he would be trying to work the keeper at least 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) I am not a believer in a number 10 in modern football. I believe you need 3 hard working midfielders. To dominate games you have to dominate the midfield and to dominate the midfield you need runners. Edited March 4, 2021 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxfordVillan Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Nothing can be pinned on Barkley for last nights team “performance”. I’m absolutely convinced, though, that he can’t be part of our future, when the loan deal ends we wish him well on his way back to Chelsea.

chrisvilla4 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I wonder if covid impacted him more than we realise or whether he knows we aren't signing him so isn't wanting to risk too much. That being said you'd think he might try to impress other clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicho Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 He played very safe last night, I think it was clear he was conscious about losing the ball. His main ability that we are supposed to benefit from is his ability to turn and run and he did it very rarely. He wasn’t poor like the other games he was just ineffective. Lacked the bollocks to make a difference, that’s what he is supposed to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilko154 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Not really sure about the criticism being aimed at him for this game. He should really have come on at half time as it was clear we didn't have enough creativity in the side to break down Sheffield United who were happy to sit back after the goal. Again he should have come on as soon as Jagielka was sent off to give him a full 30 minutes to change the game; we waited for 10 minutes and it was only when the substitutes were up to the speed of the game by the end that we started peppering their goal. Another 10 minutes and we would likely have scored. It was always going to be tough for him in that number 10 role when Sheffield United were trying to hold on to a win with all their men behind the ball. Nothing to see here, we move on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 He was about the only player that tried to run in behind when we had control in their half. Everyone else stood on their man waiting for a cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 He's clearly suffering from confidence issues at the moment. Not getting involved enough or taking the safe option are both hallmarks of this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
