Gareth Barry

[Woolly Blue]

Been out of form since coming back from injury and he's getting caught in possession too much at the moment
He'll come good again ... hopefully it won't take too long.

Will he come good again though? He turns 34 in a couple of months, how long are people expecting him to go on for?

Yea, he'll come good again. He has class and a footballing brain which will keep him going for a while yet. I reckon he'll still be doing the business for us next season but might not see out his contract beyond that.

I fear for us if we have another 18 months of Barry to contend with.

Him and McCarthy are vital for us together.

Are you on a mission to get rid of him or something?

If his form stayed like it has for the last few games then you'd be right to fear that.
Form is transient, class isn't.

Shout mate. Form is " temporary class is permanent"

I'm just wondering how long we intend to persist with a 34 year old, slow, non-creative midfielder for? Personally, I think we should be looking for a younger, dynamic, creative midfielder sooner rather than later.

Barry has not regained his sharpness sine returning from injury. Difficulty is that some players as they get older need more game time, the more they play the sharper they are. It may be useful for him to play against Krasnodar.

He's missing McCarthy. That is all.

Idiotic post from you.

I don't agree, I think he is at the arse end of his career and that he is only going to get worse. You need energy and creativity in midfield, and he has neither.

The opposition are not going to be cacking themselves about facing an ageing, slow Gareth Barry any time soon.

 

[TX Bill]

Was great for us last season.

Has been poor since he was injured this season.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that when he's 100% fit and rested, we'll see the Barry we were used to seeing last season.

Yeah right.

Nonsense. He's had several injuries in previous weeks. His form has dipped.

Not enough to send him the knackers yard


You strike me as someone looking for an excuse to.
