I feel that Barkley doesn’t really give his all for us.

Reading some old threads on a couple of Everton forums, he didn't really give his all for them either.. and he bloody supports them. Funny how the blame was placed at Martinez's door for telling Barkley he's a top talent so didn't have to do the donkey work.

Martinez from Wigan as opposed to our Emi, I assume  :-)

My memory is playing me up but I honestly cannot remember another player who arrived with such a fanfair and has disappointed me so much.  Alan Thompson, Nigel Reo Coker and Micah Richards are others but Ross Barkley takes the prize.

His coaching this week should be on required effort expected. He should be sat down and showed this game between Dortmund and Mac City on a continuous reel..

Did you watch the Liverpool game Footy?
Yes Ross was off the pace.
Proves he's not totally ready.

Disappointing and frustrating all round.

The clip isn’t a case of fitness.  He is either hiding or feels that chasing back is not his responsibility.

Actually, Stan Collymore probably wins the overall award, I stand corrected.  Great shout.  But what a major disappointment in any case.

Thought Reo Coker did pretty well for us. Limited enough player but effective most of the time.

He doesn't look right at all and in this case the welfare of the player should come first which is our responsibility while he is on loan with us, but consideration for ending this early has to be an option.
