Ross Barkley

[TopDeck113]

Credit where it's due.  Barkley - and also Andros Townsend - has woken up to the fact that it might be Luton but it is also last chance saloon as far as playing in the Premier League is concerned.   That also takes good management, something that was conspicuous by its absence when you consider some of those buffoons with plenty of experience who were in and around the Villa squad that eventually went down.

People deserve a second, third and fourth chance. 

What if they've robbed, killed or raped?

Barkley was excellent for most of that game (as he is everytime I watch Luton) but he was sloppy for the 4th newcastle equaliser. Lost it in a dangerous position. If he's putting in man of the match performances every week he deserves to get called up. But we know it doesn't work like that with Southgate.

MOTD explained his renaissance because he's playing in a deeper role.
How come he was bombing forward ? How come he was able to do that ? Possibly,because it's near closing time in the Last Chance Saloon.He's got himself fitter and leaner.
The skill was never in doubt but attitude and fitness were.Much better than Chelski's Gallagher.

Whoosh!  Sarcasm never seems to work on the internet.   Last chance saloon for Barkley.

Maybe Dele Alli should sign for Luton...

You can bank on him having a good game vs us in a couple of weeks. I'd put money on it.

He can certainly chip a ball and is hard to pin down when he’s playing well.

[Drummond]

Perhaps he feels like the big fish in the small pond now, and is realising his potential to bebjayt that.

I only saw the highlights on MOTD, who didn’t focus on it, but I thought Barkley was fouled for Newcastle’s 4th.

Me too, it was the kind of challenge Newcastle routinely get away with at home.

It was another dodgy decision, there are lots of them.

It was the sort of thing Arteta or Klopp would whinge about then we'd have 20 minutes of discussion on MOTD and endless think pieces in the rags, but outside of that gets brushed away without any consideration.

Bump.
