He allways did talk crap, he also tried to take credit for Tom Davies, he never played him.

I don't want to knock RM. I did enough of that when he was our manager. he is nothing to do with us now. I would just like to know what the stats are for defending set pieces. Gut feel tells me we have conceded very few since we started defending them in training. Apparently RM stated that we never practiced set pieces under his reign. could that be a reason? Just a thought.

Why even bother listening to him? He talked rubbiish while he was here. He's still talking talking rubbiish. I wouldn't pay attention to a word he says. He's sour that we are doing much better after he is gone.

I still get a little nervy on set pieces Degsy and if we get to CL this season that will be our downfall. I know we have improved a lot but we are still behind the top teams. Got lots to learn still.

100% agree mate.

You know in Barkley we may just have the best English midfielder in the league. Every game he gets better and better. His goal today was simply wonderful, and I have watched it at least eight times now.

It sums up how all Everton supporters feel right now. Think we all had our arms raised before the ball actually hit the net.
Haven't felt like this for twenty odd years. 😂.

unfortunately we have some fans who can't wait for him to make a mistake which is really sad we need to support him as Ross is a confidence player.

Although some may feel he was harsh on Barkley but I feel the heavy constructive criticism that Koeman gave him at the start of the season has done him the world of good.

He is good but not in the same class as Tom Davies who will be much better than Barclay.

06 Feb 2017 11:35:32
agree Bluey79. But then you get rubbish like this. Barkley been doing it for years, Davies just starting out. What a stupid statement.

Nothing changes Woburn mate.

Have always defended Barkley on here, at one point I thought the boo boys might drive him away.

He is a confidence player, we applaud when he does something magic, we should back the lad for trying and if it doesn't come off don't scream at the guy or he will never learn.

Said previously he has come on even better since Davies come into the team, whether that's down to pressure and expections being lifted who knows, but he is one we need to tie down and get behind.

{Ed025's Note - his improvement is down to koeman baz, his progress had stalled and he was feeling sorry for himself but a swift kick up the arse from ronnie has got him firing on all cylinders again and im made up for the lad mate..
