Ross Barkley
Everton midfielder Ross Barkley was never really given a chance when David Moyes was in charge of the Toffees, but with Roberto Martinez’s tutelage he has become one of the Premier League’s brightest young talents. Although Everton fans aren’t happy with it, Barkley is often called the next Steven Gerrard, and in most part it is a compliment. Sure the Liverpool midfielder may be average at best now, but from 2002 to 2008, if it wasn’t for Gerrard, Xabi Alonso and Luis Garcia, the Reds may have faded away into mid table obscurity.
