With Foden and Barnes shining with teams further up the league, he can't afford a bad spell now if he wants to be starting for England. Never mind starting. I wouldn't put him in the squad on current form. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Barkley needs subbing off. Can he actually attempt a pass without it being some kind of flick, back heel or to someone in a opposition shirt? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 That was a bit shit. Just...sloppy. Sloppy in a way we just don’t usually do anymore. Need to step up, but the good news is we are still level and have a lot of room for improvement. I mean, there were chances here, but we pretty much p*ssed it away everytime it looked like something was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 They've really squeezed us on the left with White and Veltman. Grealish should not be coming into his own half time after time to sort that out. We need to turn them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy7211 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I think a big problem for us this half has been when we're releasing the ball. We seemed to be giving it to players with less time on the ball than the player releasing it. We've got to time that better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Only positives to take from that shitshow is we have managed to develop a knack of hanging in games when we’re having no joy on the ball its reassuring hearing Mings directing everyone ahead of him at least Got to get Barkley off. Id bring Nakamba on, we need the extra work in midfield. Playing a man light in a game we’re getting dominated is a dangerous game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Delphinho123 Posted February 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2021 How Barkley continues to get away with these kind of performances is beyond me. The fancy flicks, the lazy attitude, not tracking back, not competing - he’s awful. We’re carrying him. Get him off the pitch, it’s so damaging for the whole team. (We’ve been abysmal by the way) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratvillan Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Just now, alreadyexists said: Hmm... I think their high press is killing us at the moment and they aren’t giving us a second on the ball. I also think that Luiz and McGinn are getting outnumbered too easily in midfield. I think I would take off Barkley and put on Sanson and play more of a midfield 3 with Grealish, Ollie and Traore as a front three in possession and a five man mid when out of possession I agree, it's not that Barkley is having a mate, it's the formation isnt allowing us time on the ball. Sanson or nakamba would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Barkley and Traore have been horrible. Half time rocket and a change of shape please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 So so poor. Thrilled it’s still 0-0. Marv and Trez on for SJM and Barkley. Move jack inside. Let’s get at them. No changes and I predict they will score in the first 10 minutes of the second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybloke Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) We can't have barkley and traore playing from the start against high tempo teams. It doesn't help that barkley has been dirt since his injury. Stupid attempted flicks, no pressing, mis passing and poor decision making. Traore today has been slow and cumbersome. Get barkley off and put the French battler in there for added force and structure as we are looking lost. Ref has been blind to some of the follow through and afters from Brighton. And I can't be the only one who wants cash to tackle maupay so hard it put him out of action for a few weeks. Need to get out of first gear because this will be another bottom 6 team we lose against Edited February 13, 2021 by brummybloke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
