Barry was a good player, however he cost us many goals, rest of our players was dire if someone stepped up and became a proper cdm, barrys role would of been redundant.
While no examples immediately spring to mind, Squawka says Barry made 5 defensive errors last season with only 1 leading to a goal. Of course, there are more in-depth stats from people like OPTA and 442, but I can't be arsed going through every game to see where Barry went wrong.
Yes he's 36 next season and still weighs about 18 stone but he's a fine footballer and one I very much enjoy watching play for Everton.
Gonna be teary when he's off to the MLS.
