Ross Barkley

[colin69]

I never want to see Barkley in our shirt again. We have better players of our own.

[richtheholtender]

One thing I think we can all agree is that this constant Ramsey for Barkley sub means it isn’t working and should be looked to change from the start

[Tuscans]

Well said Alex, you're right about Barkley, a proper sulk.

[Goldie.7]

Send him back to wherever he came from, I'm sick of his shit.

Lost possession twice in the first half and three times after the break.

[bilsim]

Not a great sign how much better we looked for subbing him today. The energy and desire of Sanson and Ramsey was such a noticeable difference.

[LukeJames]

The problem is, other than him not contributing anything, he's in the way of Ramseys development.

[Nii Lamptey]

He’s on loan, with no option to buy. He has offered nothing since the first Leicester game (his 2nd match for us), and we shouldn’t (*and can’t!) afford to carry him on the hope he hits some kind of form.
Ramsay offered more in that last 15 mins than Barkley has in most of his time in a villa shirt.
Needs to be dropped against Leeds. Showing nowhere near enough fight or fitness to be in the starting eleven.
Sanson or Ramsay need to be starting in his place. Thanks very much Chelsea, but no thanks. ☹️

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

he must realise it's his last chance at a big club? Tuchell subbed Hudson Odoi, the half time sub yesterday due to work without the ball, when he'd been dangerous with the ball. God knows what he'd make of Barkley.
waste of talent, English lads like maddison  barnes even lingard light years ahead of him now. MLS or SPL.

The very best thing about Barkley?

We’ll be able to send him back.

Agreed

[German James]

He seems to think he's got the right to start and the right not to be substituted. Maybe it would help his apalling attitude if he was dropped. It would certainly help the rest of the not to have to carry him.

[TelfordVilla]

I dont want to see him in the starting line up again.

+1

[Bobby Boy]

He has provided absolutely nothing for weeks and then pulls the "How dare you sub me?" routine. Again.

Dean has defended Barkley but needs to explain what he is doing on the pitch to justify his place. It isn't a neutral selection. It is damaging our chances.

[brontebilly]

Had he any clothes left on by the time he got back to the dressing room does anyone know? Hopefully one of the kit men was kind enough to have his bags packed and hopefully a taxi ready to take him back to London. An utter embarrassment on the pitch and his antics after being substituted at least 20 mins too late (should never have started on current form) will be long remembered.

A diabolical professional. 27 years old, won't track any opponents runs as seen with both Leicester goals today and behaves like a child once again after being taken off. Get rid, asap.
