COMMENTARY
Some Chelsea fans were fuming with midfielder Ross Barkley despite their side beating Slavia Prague 4-3 on Thursday in the Europa League. The Blues may have been comfortable throughout their latest match, despite the amount of goals the London club conceded, but it seems that only made the midfielder standout for all the wrong reasons even more. The 25-year-old clearly isn’t a popular figure among Chelsea fans based on the reaction to his display but it’s easy to see why supporters were particularly vocal about him after this outing. Barkley was sloppy in possession, constantly misplacing his passes and just doesn’t seem to have the strength to regularly win the ball back. While one Chelsea fan seem to cry over the thought of Barkley being the worst player on the pitch in their opinion, given how bad he was, it’s not like a claim that many would argue with. The English midfielder has shown signs of his talent this season, and he needs to get back to his best sooner rather than later.

There aren't many more clueless midfielders than Ross Barkley. Literally doesn't know anything about how a midfielder should play and is super sluggish.

Barkley is such an awkward mess.. he makes dribbling look difficult.

Half-Time thoughts-
Barkley horrible.
Kepa amazing.
Hazard couldn’t really get a hold on the game since whenever he got a touch he was fouled.
Giroud right place, right time.
I feel for Deli. The ball literally bounced off his face lmao
Pedro, amazing performance. ????????— ? (@CFCSneh) April 18, 2019
