No personal stuff from me and it's just my opinion but I think we would be unwise to write Barkley off. What he adds to Jack's game and what Jack adds to his when their partnership works is not inconsiderable. Their link up play has been magical at times. We should aim to get that back.
Has done well to get back into contention at all. That miss against Everton seemed to destroy his confidence for a while. Another enigmatic type, you can tell usually within 10 minutes if he's going to go well or have a stinker. Has all the attributes to be a top player at this level but is wildly inconsistent.
I've always said with wingers that they are mostly inconsistent. We have three of them like that. The likes that aren't are your Mahrez's who will cost £70m - £80m plus. He is fine as are Traore and Trez.
I like him, have from the start, and did even when he'd turned into the anti-christ away at Everton for not scoring what was not as easy a chance as it was made out. He seems like a nice lad as well.I like players that take shots too, it's an underrated part of the game. Except in the mind of Tonev.
