Ross Barkley

[olaftab]

Write him off as a loss and send him back now please.

[frank black]

Should have bought him on today, he’d have made the difference I reckon.

For all the strutting, the big “I am” strops, I really wanted him to come on and show us all how much we know tonight.

Show us how good he is and take the game by the scruff of the neck. Show the quality, do something that wins the game.

Nothing. Well, apart from nearly gifting Wolves a goal. The lack or any defensive effort could be excused if was doing the business in the final third. But he isn’t, and hasn’t for ages.

[Goldenballs]

Was chuffed when we signed him. But he's turned to shit and rightly dropped. He's probably got a few more chances from the bench to prove himself this season, if he's really up for it. He comes across as not really that bothered about football, a bit of Stephen Ireland about him.

Ł40m is laughable, Chelsea won't get half that.

[colin69]

He really should not be in the match day squad again. A complete waste of space.

[Toronto Villa]

What a complete shame this is. Because before the injury he looked really promising and was absolutely superb in his debut.

[villa `cross the mersey]

I've said it before and I will repeat it    "Billy Big Bollocks"
Thinks all he has to do is turn up and claim his no doubt ridiculous  pay packet ...send him back asap 

[mr underhill]

there's a reason Chelsea loaned him to us. They saw him as a player who might be ok in a side that just avoided the drop. We need better, especially for the money they'd want for him. No shit, no fart.

[Allan C]

The most sensible comment so far tonight. He’s a great player and was the difference for us until his injury and COVID. Since COVID none of them have reached the form levels shown before it

I can recall I think three decent performances by Barkley in a Villa shirt, Liverpool, Arsenal and Leicester. Pre his injury, he was appalling in a number of games including the home defeats against Leeds and Soton. He's a terrible professional.

I wonder will we ever get the full story of what went on with our Covid outbreak and how it affected us?

or just a plausible excuse.

100% this.  I reckon bringing Ross and Keinan on could have been the injection of attacking flare we really needed.  Shame that Smith only saw fit to bring Ramsey on, and played it safe.

[Three Spires Villa]

No thanks, back to London, next please

[wittonwarrior]

Be  sometime before the truth but either he has  given up or Covid got him and he's still suffering with the after effects.  As for bringing him on earlier, would have meant playing with 10 players, totally ineffective.  If only we could pass him back  to Chelsea.
