Gareth Barry

[TippEverton]

Yarmolenko was suspended last match, this was the first time we played against him.

Erm, no he wasn't mate, he was their most dangerous player at goodison.

I don't think he's finished personally, but the way we're playing highlights all his problems and none of his strengths.

The fact he remained on the pitch to the end and Gibson wasn't used was almost as bad as Alcaraz staying on and Stones warming the bench.

Was he not? Could have sworn he was suspended for the first leg

Not being funny but did you watch the first leg ?

He had a red card rescinded, maybe that's where you've got that from.

 

[riddick]

Could not, was in the air flying.

And thats what i thought, the suspension was in the first leg, not the one against Guingamp

Get him touted to all the MLS clubs and around Turkey, China, etc. I am sure somebody would take him off of our hands.

- Hello New York Red Bulls...
- Oh hi there, this is Everton football club, we are calling with a wonderful opportunity for you to sign one of our England international stars as your marquis summer signing. Mr Gareth Barry
- Sounds great, is he a prolific goalscorer?
- Er, not at all I'm afraid
- Is he a high energy box to box midfielder?
- Well not exactly
- He's a world class defender?
- He's not to be honest.
- But at least he sits and pings 50 yard passes around the pitch?
- Doesn't really have that in his locker unfortunately.
- Well his high profile will sell some shirts at least?
- Look we'll just keep him mate, forget it.

Can we give Barry time travel machine to get on time to cover.

What are the stats this season - how many games have we won with Barry playing defensive midfield which ends up him playing as an extra centre half and messing our defence up?

I love when he has a head start to get to the ball and still reaches it second, so slow its a funny sight at times, and an all too painful one all season too.

He's lauded for his 'experience', but still didn't have the cop on to just show Iarmolenko onto his right foot for the first last night, just a week after playing against him in a game where it was quite obvious the player wasn't as dangerous when on his right, an awful player and the persistence in playing him ahead of others has been mind boggling.

It's not just showing him on his right, it's the cardinal sin of letting attackers cut to the middle. Even schoolboys know you need to show the outside and push them out wide. Also, you need to make a tackle or at least attempt to, when you are on the edge of the box. You simply can't keep on backing up!
