Chelsea fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Ross Barkley against Nottingham Forest.

Barkley was in action for Chelsea in their FA Cup third-round tie against Forest at Stamford Bridge in London on Sunday.

The former Everton attacking midfielder started the match and played for the entire 90 minutes, as Frank Lampard’s side won 2-0.

The 26-year-old England international scored in the 33rd minute, but his overall game was disappointing.

Barkley looked rusty, was sloppy on many occasions, and other than the goal, had a game to forget.

According to WhoScored, the attacking midfielder took five shots of which two were on target, played two key passes, had a pass accuracy of 82.3%, took 81 touches, and attempted two dribbles.

So far this season, the former Everton star has made five starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League and has played 10 minutes in the Champions League for Chelsea, according to WhoScored.

Chelsea fans were not impressed with the display produced by Barkley against Forest and have criticised him on Twitter.
