I'd imagine the wandering had something to do with the fact that the ball should have come earlier... He was on his bike anticipating the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Ill be honest didnt think barkley waa bad yesterday. He sometimes could have moved the ball around quicker but he did well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Hes such a divisive player but in a team struggling for goals he did more than any other midfielder going forwards. He put more players into shooting positions than luiz, ramsey, mcginn and Samson put together. I think hes desperate to try and impact a game which leads to the mistakes. After we scored he seemed to calm down and we saw some of the quality. I dont really believe hes been worse than any of the other midfielders, the problem is we pay a lot for him and he should have been the one to step up when Jack was injured.

He was on his bike anticipating the ball if he'd angled his run and held it properly he'd have easily been in his own half. barkley released it at the right time to commit the defender.

lexicon Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I think he needs to start. I just don't want to watch us cross it a thousand times in the hope that one works again - we need some invention and creativity through the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 He is too much of a liability defensively that it nullifies what he did in attack.

I think we need to forget the West Ham signing underperforming overpaid players cliche for now. Moyes seems to have a decent bit of control over how the club goes about their business and Barkley is not a Moyes signing. Once he goes and the porn twins and their dominatrix start messing with things again then maybe they will sign him but as long as Moyes has a say they won't be buying him.

Well Moyes managed him at Everton and if West Ham finish in europa they obviously need bigger squad. He's got a tune out of Lingard so far who'd barely played in 12 months so would've thought Barkley who's been a regular here would appeal to him. If not West Ham I cant see who else would want him as he'd barely play at likes of Everton and Spurs and so with us not winning him full time that's pretty much top half of the league. Perhaps Newcastle if they stay up on another season loan deal or go abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe when you put it like that although I think that Moyes would avoid him based on the injury problems (I think we will also). Lingard never really had any injury problems, he just wasn't getting in the Utd side. Barkley is in danger of football outgrowing him due to the need for players to be very mobile. All the modern 10's are very mobile and required to work very hard and West Ham work very hard. I don't think that he'd fit in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
