He's Drinkwater Mark2

He's not though, Drinkwater didn't have a single positive impact on any game in a Villa shirt that I can remember.

If there ever was a player ready for the Super League it has to be our Ross Barkley. Go and join Tottenham my son.

I know substitutions are subjective, but bringing this freeloader on tonight has really disappointed me. Actually, it’s pissed me off royally.

The sending off completely derailed us, but for fucks sake, we bring on a player who clearly can’t be arsed and hasn’t for months. Game over.

I’d have turned that off if my team hadn’t have been involved.

Nothing signals more to the opposition that you've given up than bringing on Ross Barkley.

Awful again, sloppy passing, never gets above a jog, ignores players running beyond him. There's nothing of the player he was in the Autumn left and he is now 100% the player I was worried we were getting, I hate that I was really happy to be proven wrong for such a short time before it turning out I had him pegged perfectly.

Smith was asked about the kids earlier, and said it's a big step up for them. Which it is of course, but at least you'd be getting a bit of energy, hunger and passion, instead of having to watch Fat Ross II do bugger all of worth for half an hour. He's every bit as hopeless as Drinkwater was last season. Why does Smith have such blind spots for these wasters?

You just have to laugh at this utter tosser. We should just take the loss on his wages for the final few matches and never play him again.

Enough now. Send him back, it’s not worked out.

I think I owe an apology to a few people on here. When we signed him on loan there were a few here less than thrilled. Using my legendary ability to spot a talent i stuck up for him and it seemed for a few games that I was right. But... I can honestly say I have never seen a players form dip so dramatically. He now looks like a lumbering sulking shadow of the player he was. Get rid.

Same for me.
