handsworthvilla Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Would've been dropped for Nakamba this eve if it were up to a few on here The lad is absolutely quality, and finally having someone on the same wave length as Jack gives us so much more potential in each game 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Them black boots with our black away kit, he looked the absolute business. He was guaranteed to drop a masterclass looking like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Brilliant tonight and lets be honest if he played like he did vs Arsenal and Liverpool every week he wouldnt be possible to sign 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted November 8, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) He looks so much better when he's not really expected to be part of the 3 man midfield. Having McGinn sitting deep with Luiz and giving Barkley some freedom to drive forward as a number 10 seems to work better for us.

However he was back to his best tonight, can he do it consistently though against the teams we'd think we should beat i.e, Leeds, Brighton.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilski Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 He's fantastic when we are in possesion and/or attacking and i know people are going to disagree but i really do think he could put more effort in to pressing and trying to break up the play further up the pitch as grealish/watkins and trez do. Not just agsinst arsenal, against leeds and southampton he let players past him numerous times when he could of pressed them or even stuck a foot in, it certainly looked like he could get to them but just didnt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest at about 70 mins I was thinking Nakamba should come on for Ross as I thought he was crocked! But then he was still bombing around lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a big lad, but just doesn’t seem to get stuck in. He was superb today. Against teams where the Opposition midfield isn’t harassing him, he can do this. Hes the one player I don’t see press hard from the front. Jack, Ollie, Trez, McGinn.. to a man are pressing hard whilst he sits off. The press will not working unless every one does it. The longer he spends in the team, the more he will pick this up, and I’m sure he will get fitter as a result. Im very happy with him so far, but just needs that little bit more energy to push on to the next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Barkley is the first person come January if we have the money to go steal him from chelsea. Excellent player if played right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 He trots around when we lose the ball and doesn’t press. It’s clear to see when he’s playing along side Trez and Watkins who are all action when we’re looking to win it back. However when we’re breaking on a counter he comes alive and can look devastating. Let’s hope Dean can work on that first point with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Great with the ball, feel like he needs to tighten the screw a bit more on his pressing and work ethic. No premier league side can afford to have someone just for attacking (i.e. Özil). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boys a natural baller and no mistake. Incredible bit of business getting him through the door. All the signings this summer have been good but this is the guy that’s made it all click.
