LIVERPOOL, England -- It was natural to put Ross Barkleys nasty challenge on Jordan Henderson down to emotions running high in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.Look deeper, though, and it might just have been the moment when months of pent-up frustration inside the Everton midfielder came to a head.Compared by many to England great Paul Gascoigne because of his technique, build and playing style, Barkley has long been viewed as one of English soccers most talented players. Much is expected of him by Everton fans desperate for Barkley -- a local lad attached to the club since the age of 11 -- to help the northwest club revive its glory years of the 1980s, when the Merseyside rivals were the countrys dominant forces.Barkley is 23 now and should no longer just be regarded as one for the future. It is all about the here and now for Everton manager Ronald Koeman and the teams supporters, and Barkley hasnt developed as many would have hoped.Go to a game at Goodison Park and what quickly becomes apparent is the heightened sense of expectation when Barkley gets the ball -- and the loud groans of disappointment when something he tries doesnt work. Everton supporters can be among the most passionate in England but they can also be among the most demanding, and Barkley appears to be lacking confidence and struggling under the weight of pressure.Hence the ugly lunge on Hendersons right ankle in the second half of Evertons 1-0 loss against Liverpool on Monday that earned him a yellow card -- a red probably would have been merited -- and sparked a melee on the field.Maybe over-praised by Roberto Martinez in his time as Everton manager from 2013-16, Barkley has found Koeman to be a harsher judge.Sometimes I expect more from Ross Barkley, Koeman said this month after dropping the playmaker from the team for a match against Manchester United. He needs to accept it. He needs to show it on the training pitch.After also criticizing Barkley this season for his tactical indiscipline, Koeman has dropped the player for games against Manchester City and Watford, too. In the final months of last year, Barkley was in the form of his career but now he is in and out of the Everton team at a time when his future is up for debate, with 18 months left on his contract.Barkley is also being overlooked by Englands national team, with Dele Alli, Adam Lallana and Wayne Rooney preferred as options in the No. 10 position behind the striker. Barkley played at the 2014 World Cup, went to this years European Championship -- albeit, without playing a single minute -- and now is out of the squad completely.At a time when Barkley should be growing in stature, hes in decline as far as appearances for club and country is concerned.He is young, but he is not because he has been playing four years in the first team, Koeman said. It means you are not a talent anymore, and need to show what you can do.Barkley is well-built, impressively two-footed and can worry opposition defenses with his powerful, driving runs. Much of his time off the field is spent watching footage on YouTube of Zinedine Zidane and Gascoigne, his favorite players growing up, as well as contemporary stars in his position such as Mesut Ozil.To be at the level of those kinds of players, Barkley needs to start being more consistent, more prolific -- he has two Premier League goals this season -- and less error-prone.That might even require a move away from Everton to kick-start his career.Matthew Peca Jersey .

I got too much rest. Unfortunately, I didnt want it, but I got it. I feel very good. All my tests came back great; its great to be back to work. ... The doctors that are here, the doctors in Houston got together and talked through some things. ... The biggest thing for me is really helping me sleep a little better.Kubiak spent the past week at home after he was taken to the hospital by ambulance following the Broncos 23-16 loss to the Atlanta Falcons?on Oct. 9. Kubiak spent the night in the hospital with what was diagnosed as a complex migraine condition.Kubiak underwent additional evaluation in the days that followed as doctors attempted to find what triggered the headaches. He did not make the trip to San Diego last week and was not on the sideline for the Broncos 21-13 loss to the Chargers on Thursday night.Joe DeCamillis, the Broncos special-teams coordinator, served as the teams interim coach last week.When youre a football coach, taking two days away from what you do is like, What the hell is going on here. Its like having a summer off or something, Kubiak said. It just makes you appreciate the players, the coaches.With a two-game losing streak, Kubiak joked after Mondays practice that he had been hollering a lot this morning, but the Broncos were back on a familiar meeting schedulee, and Kubiak said he had no restrictions on the job.ddddddddddddHe said his message to the players was a fairly simple one.I talked about three things today to the players, Kubiak said. Preparation, detail, and then its time to go put forth the effort and play. Weve got to focus on those things, starting with me, and starting with us as coaches, filter it down through our guys and get a lot better with what were doing.It was good to have him back, just to have our leader back, said cornerback Chris Harris Jr. ...He was just straight with us about what we need to do to get back on track.Kubiak coached through the end of the Falcons game even though he felt ill before and during the game. Kubiak did his customary news conference after the loss and walked back into the locker room.Kubiak continued to feel ill, however, and was taken to the hospital?by ambulance. It is the second time in the last four seasons Kubiak has left a stadium in an ambulance.In 2013, Kubiak suffered what was described as a mini-stroke at halftime of a game against the Colts. He spent two nights in the hospital after that incident.Kubiak said Monday he thought the two incidents were different, but his doctors in Denver and the doctors who treated him in Houston in 2013 have talked in the past week.I feel good, I feel really good getting out here, Kubiak said. ...Im through with it, Im ready to move forward.
