Yer Wha?

For the benefit of those too young or a little forgetful ... there was a league match v West Ham in the early 70's. Bobby Moore was attempting to play the ball out of defence while being hassled by Husband. Moore lost the ball and looked a complete eejit. It was one of the first signs of his fall from grace later made clear in Poland.

No matter how much they may wish it may be otherwise, older sports people make mistakes which they shouldn't. Barry (and Howard etc) aren't exceptions.
 

And you really thought Barry was the reason we lost today?
I think he may have been the reason we only lost one nil.

I think he plays a major role in us being far too slow and lacking any creativity whatsoever. He is a very poor central midfielder these days.

He is absolutely finished at the top level. We need so much more than what he offers if we want to finish in the top half.

Suggest you take a look at the bigger picture. Why not the same vitriol directed against Coleman, Baines, McCarthy, Lukaku or other players who had far worse games than Barry today.
Do you just hate older people?

I don't hate Barry, I just recognise that he offers absolutely nothing with regards creativity and attacking play. We need far more than what he offers if we want to finish in the top half.

i think you'll find that the player who dispossessed Moore (and scored I think) was Davie Johnson. It had nothing to do with his age. Frankly it should have happened to him a lot more than it did even when he was younger because he was that casual, a typical cockney poser, and massively overrated.
