Mike Preece Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Barkley really put in a shift, a mature an influential performance glad RM Gave him a start. Distin also had a good game, what fitness for an older player. But hate the fact that we always seem so vulnerable after taking a lead, and age old Everton problem But a lot of us predicted a draw, and it was a really entertaining 2nd half. So overall a decent first match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Not to be a party pooper, but let's not get carried away. He had bad matches as well as good in pre-season, and he still has a long way to go to reach his full potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Not to be a party pooper, but let's not get carried away. He had bad matches as well as good in pre-season, and he still has a long way to go to reach his full potential. No worse than Jags-Distin, Jelavic, Howard, Osman, Pienaar. Who all had awful spells without being dropped (bar Jela but even then it was long over due). Barkley had one bad game Blackburn, in no other game has he been our worst player, yet got dropped the next game and the favourites continued to plod along with under-par performances.

Bailey Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 I dont think anyone is expecting him to play to that level week in week out. He will make mistakes and look sloppy but I have confidence that Martinez will utilise him to his best effect. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue 250 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Barkley had a really good game for what was his 4th or 5th start, with better to come.I'd rather have him over Rodwell, but, I'd help Man City out by taking him and Lescott back for around about the £6million mark. Coleman and Barkley will score more this season, both of these players aren't frightened to shoot from outside the area, which is what we need more of.

Shukes Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 What tool voted Mirallas mom? Come on admit it, or do i really need to ask haha. It's great you offer him support mate but you should also be honest when he's bad. Just because you use his name lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
