Can't blame a once "decent" (no more than that) midfielder for getting old now that McCarthy's not there to do his running. Blame the gonk that gave him a three year contract extension.
 
Watch the Newcastle highlights. I think it's when McCarthy hacks down Sissoko. Barry makes absolutely no attempt to track his runner (Sissoko) who just jogs past him. Honestly the most sickening thing I've seen all season.
 
I can't understand how a player can regress so much in the space of 6 months. His legs have just completely gone.
 

Playing an in form 34yr old every game is bad enough, but he's shot to pieces at the moment and he's playing every single minute of every single game. Incredible.

Distin has been slowly regressing for around 18 months, so that comes as no big surprise, but Barry was outstanding last season - now he's a liability.

Hadn't gone to looking like a League 2 standard player like this season though. He had gone back a bit but this year he has dropped off a cliff.
 
Giving him and Howard such massive contracts was madness. I think Barry is still a good squad player but it's all about slowly getting Besic up to speed. Playing every game at his age is crazy.
 
2nd goal today... just said it all. His body language and his reaction sums up the team right now. Incredible how much he's declined really.
 
I dont think he's fully fit, or playing with a knock but hes being forced to play due to a lack of other options. There is no way he can deteriorate that much from May to August/September.
