Barkley showed just how good he is against the Swiss side and dominated in the middle of the park.
More than a couple of people have questioned if the midfielder really will be ‘world class’ and when you see performances like the one he put in on Thursday night and consider his age, that does not seem impossible at all.
While the likes of Jack Wilshere stall and get into more off the field trouble, Barkley gets his head down and is a real credit to his club.
