Matt Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Exhibit A Barkley. Charging forward, two passes on, hits first defender. His thinking is just a second behind what it needs to be at this level.disagree, he did everything right. Rom got covered by defenders, Kev should've gone out left to open the space in the middle. chicagoblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeQuince Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Exhibit A Barkley. Charging forward, two passes on, hits first defender. His thinking is just a second behind what it needs to be at this level. Classic case of confirmation bias. Exhibit A: Looking for Barkley to fail, and no matter the reality of the situation, finds that Barkley has failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogs Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 disagree, he did everything right. Rom got covered by defenders, Kev should've gone out left to open the space in the middle. If the pass isnt on, why not take it round the first defender and see what opens up then? You can't blame hitting the nearest defender with a pass on the guy making the run, you have to make the decision to either execute it or try something else. I thought dribbling was one of his strengths anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The break was on, he hit the first man, too easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 When we attack we don't get sufficient numbers forward. Lukaku is always isolated. Whenever Barkley gets the ball and starts a run, the rest of the team just stand and watch. No one makes a run because they don't know what Barkley is going to do. Coleman has been our best player.

Hafnia Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Barkley was very good first half. All choices for him are static as fuck.... embarrassing. But yes let's focus on the through ball that didn't get through or a dubious take on that could have been given as a foul. The lads been brave. His team mates need shaking. chicagoblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue 250 Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 West Ham started like a team on a good run, we started like a team on a bad one.It's evened out a bit and could go either way 2nd half. Not enjoyable by any stretch, just need a win.Barry best player at present, maybe Coleman, but the rest need to step it up. Koeman needs to motivate, get that extra bit out of the boys.

But 50/50 for me this game because he's ignoring the easy option as much as hes not been supported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought dribbling was one of his strengths anyway. Could be he gets boo'd relentlessly when he loses it by dribbling. My opinion if Kev stays wide it opens the option to play him or to drive further through the middle. Touch was beyond class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried the difficult pass to keep the attack going and he didn't pull it off. If Kev and gone left and dragged the 2 defends he took inside instead, the pass options are much better.

His team mates are not making good runs - surprise surprise. Too much strolling around. Redknapp alluded to it before. The lad gets shit like you wouldn't believe. I get that it's not a like for like.... but for me barkley is a scapegoat. Edited October 30, 2016 by Hafnia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great awareness by Ross, shot by seamus and the persistence by by bolassie found Rom in a strikers position. Take the goal.... not the plaudits.

Bolasie needs to fuck off with that needless garbage though. He's at his best when he's plowing ahead, not when he's dicking around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
