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.
