Whats going on with Barkley? Letting my FF team down and I've been singing his praises saying he should be playing CM for England in the qualifiers. Then goes and has some shockers and gets himself subbed at HT
Until Monday he'd had a good start to the season, but he was bloody awful in the first half and rightly got the hook. Maybe the England snub had got to him and he was trying too hard? I doubt he'll start on Saturday though.
Agree we need more than just an engine but he has that IMO. Really special talent and he did show his quality at times. He can run with the ball and he can pick a pass. As with Markovic, he's another young talent so can't expect him to just hit the ground running and most importantly, we need to develop him properly. Much can be said about markovic's attitude (unconfirmed) but he definitely wasn't used the way he should have been. At least with Klopp, he knows how to develop youngsters and he's patient. Dahoud is very similar to Gundogan in terms of playing style.
Tuesday. I made a whole thread dedicated to my return. I think it got 2 replies. I went to Pembrokeshire then on to a friend's wedding in some weird place called Caerdydd or something - peopled by weird homunculi that talk funny.
Was in Tenby briefly. Last time I was there was about 20 years ago and it was a picturesque, quiet little place. Heaving now.
