Ross Barkley

He's a much better player than the one with us before but that was obvious. Two games in a row he's come on a helped us get a bit better control. 

In Leicester it was different we lost control completely, today we had it but not in the right areas, and having the option to bring him on in place of Onana when chasing the game was hugely valuable.

Barkley was like a ship's rudder when he came on and provided exactly what Emery envisioned when we signed him. 

Exactly what he is just steady retains possession well and protects the ball nothing spectacular on the eye but very effective.

His best Chelsea season was under Sarri where he played deep too, we had him too advanced in his first spell. Great squad option to have now.

When you're playing the transfer market on ez modo it really doesn't matter if Chelsea can blow 200m a year on players they'll never use

 

5m, shrewd business plain and simple. And he's only 30, it's not like he's on his last legs, he could play this role for 3+ years easily if he keeps focus and fitness which he has in abundance now compared to his first stint 4 years ago

He's a very calm experienced and talented player. Glad to see him having such influence over games off the bench. Two games in a row now. He was superb against Leicester 2 weeks ago.

Must be nice having a coach like Emery ordering your signing. That's high praise in itself.
