As a villa fan speaking on Barkley, when Ross first came to the villa, he was exceptional. Him and jack truly were an underrated duo. Everything about him, his work rate, his shooting, his link up play, his dribbling was nothing but brilliant. He picked up an injury around December time and came back and never recreated the form he could in the first half of the season. Nevertheless, a truly underrated player.

[@Rivelino824]

Basically you get players who essentially do not want to track back, Follow runners, its ok when it's Ronaldo. But when it's Ross Barkley people are not going to except it.

[@brianbennett5708]

If Ross Barkley was born in Spain he’d be Spanish.😢

[@wizzkidde5]

He should’ve played for Nigeria, would’ve been a legend 🇳🇬

[@terrydactylspontaneous2596]

Ross doesn’t do the hard yards in games and especially training. Teammates have mentioned it. He was on the pop too. He didn’t fulfil what was expected because of his own ill discipline. He was the stand out player of his age group when young but unlike players who go on to be superstars he didn’t want to knuckle down and be committed to the level that’s required. It happens. Some players don’t have the mentality. His successes and failures were purely down to him. The major leg break at 16 definitely affected him and his trajectory and subsequent injuries didn’t help. He still achieved a good level and had a lot of talent but he is a ‘what might have been’ poster boy.

​@Alta thank you for your expert analysis, we need more people like you on social media dictating on whether someone has a valid opinion in the comment section or not.

[@massimostanzione6406]

Probably the most naturally gifted player I've ever seen never knew why it didn't work out for him

[@Viewer41]

Roberto is right. English players are under rated because of their nationality. E.g Jack Wilshere was top quality, but his injury record was so bad, he never did anything. Same with Santi Cazorla. Yet only the English player got abuse for his injuries. Then you've got Son. He's had an AWFUL scoring season at Spurs, yet NO ONE has mentioned it. Imagine if Kane had scored like 7 times all season, it would be headline news.

[@misturmonson7423]

If Ross Barkley was spainish he'd be drinking jugs of sangria instead of pints of lager.....

[@carlmurphy5673]

I watched Ross as a 10/11 year old centerback at everton. He was absolutely brilliant. A blind man on a galloping horse could see he had what it took to make it to the top. He was physically bigger and stronger than most his age, he could play, and he was loud and took control of the the whole box area. You could see he was gonna make it at 11years old. Although he’s not fulfilled his full potential on the pitch in terms of playing at the highest level for a consistent period and also internationally… To come from where he did, with the poverty and unemployment surrounding him, he’s done pretty well for himself and will have experienced things most of us fans could only dream of. I just hope he remembers where he comes from and the people who helped him get there, and in his own way gives a little bit back. What he earns in a week, most people where he’s from wont earn in a lifetime.

How did Roberto ever got to manage Belgium golden era to win nothing then gets Portugal job? Is Dollar For Doughnut Question

[@diogopereira8830]

Maybe if Pedro Gonçalves was Spanish he would be more appreciated by Roberto Martinez and would call him for the Portugal national team. A player that ended the season with a 35 goal contribution in goals and assists. Maybe if he was Spanish, maybe...

[@denzel1989]

Martinez is the Belgium manager not Portugal

[@catto1980]

​@Denzel B he's been the Portugal manager for a few months now, Belgium have Domenico Tedesco who previously managed Leipzig

​@Denzel B at least do your research before commenting 🤡

[@lovejoy3347]

I still can’t take Martínez seriously ever since he was filmed dancing like a camp matador at a Jason Derulo concert.

[@steve13191]

would he? i see benat who used to play for bilbao, unbelievable ball playing midfielder. but never heard anybody rated him in spain. so was juan valeron, spain didnt rate him enough. at times he didnt even getting called up to national team

[@surjegurung]

This is music to Ross Barkley's ears. Quickly, Ross. Find a Spanish/Portugeuse girl, marry her, move to Portugal and you are straight into Roberto Martinez's Portugal squad. What are you waiting for, Ross? You can do this, you better believe it. 😆😄😃😁😀

[@DocYAYAYA]

its the same story for 99% of English players... get paid too much too young and think they are better than what they are. I remember seeing Michael Johnson at City back in the day he was total class and he threw it away, and then Wilshere... you could have a 30 player list of the same thing

[@redjacc7581]

Barkley doesnt work hard enough, he play well when he wants to otherwise he would ALWAYS be in the team baring injuries. Roberto has something in his eyes.

[@marcfrizelle7851]

That's because we have a smaller tolerance for lazy players. Unless your team is far superior than opponents in prem lg you dont get to be lazy

Can’t disagree more about Barkley, he’s just too lazy, was on fire early at Villa but then just fell off the edge of the map after a while. One of the biggest drop offs in a player..

[@Mintzz1690]

I,m more baffled that Martinez keeps getting high profile jobs. He has achieved absolutely nothing in his career. Done more damage to Belgium than anybody could have imagined, totally useless excuse for a manager.

[@JALC-x]

definitely chelsea's fault

[@DannyOConnor1991]

In terms of Physical and Technical gifts, he's one of the best we've ever produced. His problem has always been the Mental side of the game. He's not the most intelligent and he hasn't got the drive to work for his teammates. I'd still love to have him back at Everton and see if Dyche could get something out of him. And as a free transfer, think it's worth a go.

[@iandavis1723]

How do you know he's not intelligent?

[@DannyOConnor1991]

@@iandavis1723 Football intelligence... But from his interviews and the fact he chose to go to Chelsea, he seems to lack it off the pitch as well. Like most footballers. Silly question tbh.

[@iandavis1723]

@@DannyOConnor1991 You have no idea about his intelligence as you don't even know him and to tar most football players with the same brush is just, well...stupid.

@@DannyOConnor1991 going to Chelsea is intelligent even if you fail you've secured your future with good fortune staying at Everton with such talent is dumb i mean look at Everton now, two consecutive years fighting relegation.

[@DannyOConnor1991]

@@theredhall-thisisfootball Again, initially meant football intelligence. But again, watch his interviews. Most footballers aren't... And you do realise how long ago it was when he left? Everton were a decent side at that point. As Roberto says in the video, that first season was 5th with 72 points. And the other seasons, despite not being as good, were not relegation battles like the last two seasons. If you consider money to be more important than being a hero for your local team, when he was clearly on good money anyway, that's up to you. Others disagree. And Chelsea have ruined many a career over the past 5 seasons. And as far as I can see, it looks as though he regrets leaving. Going off his social media posts.

[@CBCB78]

Ross has nothing at all between his ears and listens to bad advice from agents. Ross deserves how his career has fizzled out and is ending and the same will happen to Anthony Gordon, who only has half the ability Ross had. Gordon is not in Barkleys league in terms of numbers and ability.
