Ross Barkley 2.0 is very good. I've been really impressed so far. He's just quietly gone about his business when he's come on and he's looked very composed. Rarely wastes the ball.

A masterclass by him and Youri in composure and wonderful passing.

Apart from one misjudgement he was absolute quality. He’ll get a start on Tuesday hopefully.

We needed his craft and guile over Onana’s physicality today.

Fantastic that we have these options as required.

He adds composure to team when he comes in. Been very impressed with his performances. Long may it continue.

I think going to Luton did him the world of good. Very impressed with him at the moment.

Ross Barkley 2.0 is very good.

It's not often that the sequel is better.

Had he come back under any other manager I'd have been - Nooooooooo.

Cissokho, Joe Cole, Andy Gray II, McAvennie, Adrian Heath - the list is endless of has-beens who added nothing.

Unai - no problem. Going to reinvent him.

Very impressed with Barkley in his two second half jobs this season. Today he provided superb control from midfield.

Again we needed his nous and composure.
Great variation to our midfield options.
