As much as we’ve taken to him and he’s taken to us the jury is still very much out for me given the price tag.

Odd.
Far from odd, insipid performance again today.

I can't believe some comments! One indifferent game and he's basically written off.

Carlos was a mixed bag, but I believe Konsa was the biggest issue playing at right back with Onana a major contributing factor to the issue in defending especially our right side because he was doing little today and yet again lack of movement as have been flagging up!  A few last ditch tackles and blocks but overall not up to standard and is causing for concern.

I like the lad and am pleased we got him, but he was poor today. He just desn't have Kamara's presence on the ball.

One indifferent game, I suggest it’s been in excess of that.

Either way writing him off is idiotic. He was a bit off today, but the main problem was the entire right side - DC, Konsa, Bailey, and the Philogene were terrible defensively.

Please confirm which posts have alluded to Onana “being written off”. I’m intrigued.

I think Barkley is better in controlling games against helter-skelter oppositions like promoted teams. .

I wouldn't write him off, but his current form isn't great: Everton, Wolves, Wycombe and today.

Well the one you responded to referenced it and you didn’t challenge that statement, you just said it was more than one game.

One poster has also stated several times that he doesnt fit in and hasnt done since pre season. He’s completely entitled to this opinion, but this sounds to me like writing him off after 5 or 6 games, of which he’s been really good in at least 50% of them.

Oh dear oh dear. Attention to detail somewhat lacking but not totally unexpected.

That’s the conundrum for me.  Barkley will control possession way better but we’d risk losing the midfield battle completely.  The athleticism and physicality of Onana, whilst not pretty, does keep us competitive and hard to play against.
