Alex Scott has criticised Ross Barkley after the Chelsea loanee put in another mediocre display and was taken off as Aston Villa lost 2-1 at home to Leicester.
The 27-year-old joined Dean Smith's men in the summer in the hope of forcing his way into Gareth Southgate's plans for Euro 2020 having fallen out of favour with Frank Lampard.
Barkley's spell in the West Midlands began with a bang with goals in successive eye-catching wins over Liverpool (7-2) and Leicester (1-0) as Villa signalled their intent as one of the Premier League's dark horses this campaign.
