James McCarthy

[LinekersLegs]

in some cases maybe, I'd say moyes had his favourites just as much as roberto, I know he's a bit of a joke on here these days, but heitenga played some great football in jags absence only to be shunted out on his return

Think most managers have their favourites. For instance Mourinho has a preferred starting eleven that he rarely rotates and as soon as one of them comes back from injury they usually slot straight back in.

Come on Gareth Barry
Play like James McCarthy
We go wild wild wild
We go wild wild wild

I hope James is not not too far away a'la Gibson.

What is wrong with McCarthy? It's very worrying at this stage.

 

[marty mcfly]

If we had McCarthy, Gibson, Osman all got Barry would have been rotated a bit more I reckon. All managers have their favourite, Martinez trusts Barry but I think he would have liked to have given him a rest. My bet is on a Besic, McCarthy midfield for the RS at home

If Barry is available he plays.

@joeyates93: @lukeofarrell Since Martinez came how many games has James McCarthy missed and how many of those have we won? Will be very low.

@joeyates93: @lukeofarrell Worked it out - P20, W2, D9, L9. Wins v Fulham and QPR. We're so dependent on him.

If Barry is available he plays.

this basically, I have seen absolutely zero inclination from roberto to rotate or rest barry, no matter who is available or how many games we have

The guy to rotate is Barkley. Nobody else. Playing Barkley is like playing with 10 men. The guy should play for the 21 for a year or two

thats it then its decided, nobody else should ever be rotated except barkley, everyone else who started the game against west ham will start every other game till the end of time, great logic moron

Please hurry back James!!

Please hurry back James!!

Yeah I hear you mate but in the 4-2-3-1 regime that Martinez wants the centre mids just need to have more to their game. Neither Mac, Barry or Besic have that creative side to their game. See Ya Ya at Citeh when in tight games he bursts through and scores.

acid test -how many goals have our centre midfielders scored this season? How many Yaya, Gerard, Wanyama.Sniederlin, Fabregas, .......

I get what you're saying. I just want him and Besic if we play 2 'defensive' midfielders. More energy all round. Taje your point on the lack of goals from midfield though. Barkley? Its not happening is it?
