Gareth Barry

Been having a disagreement with a mate about Barry. The main issue I just think he's finished at the top level, just too slow, he done a couple of nice things in the derby, you could see what he was attempting, but just to slow to do it resulting in losing possession. The amount of times he has played a pass to an attacking player at upper body or head height when the pass could just as easily been played on the deck this season beggars belief.

The mate thinks this is the rest he needs and he'l be back motoring after the ban. Will this count as a rest ?

He'll most likely play a week tomorrow in Switzerland, again the following week, and then back at Stoke only 6 days later, doesn't really amount to much of a rest.
 
Martinez playing Barry now is as big a mistake as Moyes playing Neville in midfield his last season....and its a sackable offence as its blindingly obvious Barry is finished...
 

Can see it already

We win against Leicester, with McCarthy partnering Gibson (its going to happen, we are talking about RM here i see no other reason why he brought him on today as it was just going to be a negative impact except for some match fitness)

Barry comes straight back in for the Arsenal away games, gets booked and then will miss the stoke and newcastle games then straight back in for the QPR away who shock horror have another new manager we have to face and they will manage to win.
 

I actually feel sorry for Barry. This season he has been used far beyond what his body is capable of but Martinez doesn't seem to care. If he was used every other game or just in Europa, etc he could have been a very useful squad player.

Yeah, completely agree. Martinez is making me hate Barry even though it's logical to believe he can contribute a lot to our season if his game time is managed better. Martinez just has a "Gareth plays 90 always" rule that can only be broken if he gets suspended and it's infuriating.

He was actually playing his way back into form at Palace but the pace of the game vs Liverpool just doesn't suit him and he struggled even last season with two tough games within a short time period.

Gibson's injuries have really messed us up again this year, apart from playing Barkley in central midfield (who is struggling with his own issues) we've had no other experienced options with mcCarthy and Osman out.
 
I like how when players get past him he rugby tackles them llol


Best we can hope for is the MLS renew there interest in the summer and we all go our separate ways


He'd probably still be useful used sparingly or in rotation but he gets played ever bloody game
