Gareth Barry

[Slim]

I couldn't have made a joke that funny...and apparently neither can you.

That was desperately close to making me laugh, which apparently based upon the source material with which you had to work, was no mean feat.

Cheers

When the source material is you, it's a miracle anything gets done that's worthwhile. Your book for instance, no miracles there.

Hey! You! Get off his back!

...is normally one of our most consistent, under rated players who cannmot do step overs or over head kicks. Fuck me sell him. In fact he`s that shite nobody in the championship will be interested.

Only my opinion.

How tiresome it must be cleaning up after other peoples mistakes (including that fucking quick free kick against soton) not to realise how important his job is.

I reckon he needs to learn how to do flicks...he will be alright then.

This is the kind of bullshit you constantly hear about him. Who has ever asked him to do fucking step overs? This is the kind of arrogant crap I can't stand. Like I didn't know what good holding/box-to-box midfielder looks like for fucks sake.

He is so slow these days that he cant do the box-to-box role anymore. He still wins balls in midfield but can't turn them to counter attacks because his lack of pace is getting exosed more than ever. There are lot of players in the world who do the same as Barry but also lot more.

He does still do his extremely limited role reasonably well but that is unfortunately not good enough for club that aims to challenge big boys of this world. In fact, if we had Daniele De Rossi there instead of Gareth Barry, I bet we would be better off right now. Unfortunately we had to settle for that clown Garcia.

You get offended by a throw away remark but have no qualms calling one of own a clown?

I get offended by people claiming that they somehow understand the game better because they see greatness in Gareth Barry. Like people didn't realise what his job is. That is naive to the extreme.

And we got fair few absolute jokers playing for us. Javi Garcia, Samir Nasri and Kolarov for example.

Hardly call kolarov an absolute joker. Or Garcia for that matter.

Nasri is a snide little cunt, but he's French so what did u expect?

You've only forgotten how shit kolarov is because he hasn't played recently

[Cit.revenge]

Barry have a lot of things and he runs a lot , sometimes he really stun me with some great pass but not to often , only thing abaut him that is bad and that thing is crucial on hes place that hes really really slow . If he make mistake he cant catch the guy. Remember Gatusso , that guy did not know to play football almost , he did not have pass he did not have many things , in build up play he was pass to nearest and that is that but what he had is that if somebody go past him he will catch him three times before guy make to next player , he had speed, stamina, and great will. Ibrahimović once told abaut him that he hate play against AC when he play for Inter because u cant have moment of peace because of Gatusso. I belive that wining teams have that kind of players , and if he can play some football great, thats why i regret losing De jong . I also love Alonso us DM player. If we have four midfielder and two where let say not good in defense (Silva and Nasri) at back one Yaya who u never know if he will track back and slow Barry that could make us problems and in CL it almost always did.

Yeh because his goal against Sunderland last season at home which drew us level in a match we would have lost didn't help us win the league.

Also, he's played very recently. Like our last two matches recently.

Since when has 'box to box midfielder' been on Gareth Barry's CV ?

If he is a box to box midfielder, then I agree, he is shit, in fact he's one of the worst in the whole of the Premier League.

But he isn't.

Just because Mancini has't bothered to sign one in 3 years, & asks Barry to do the running that yaya Toure won't do AND to get back & do his own job, doesn't make him a box to box midfielder. He has never been good at that. His speciality is hanging back, fixing problems, & he's the best in the country at doing that when fit & when assigned to do so.

LOL

WTF??

Had he not been at fault for at least ten (and that's extremely conservative estimation) goals last season, we wouldn't have needed that goal against Sunderland.

Oh, and he has been fucking awesome this year as well, right?

Kolarov is fucking trash and I have no idea why Mancini keeps going with him.

I'll give you until the end of today to name "at least" ten goals that he was DIRECTLY at fault for last season. Premierleague games only seen as though you we're talking about the title.

If you play a cunt enough times, eventually that cunt will do something good. Its like all those who defended Mario for a decent game in the cup final, and a single pass, yet ignored dozens of other games of abject mediocrity.

So because he scored a free kick, we are supposed to forget all his pathetic defending which contributed to us needing to win the league by goal difference at the end of the season?

He isn't a winger and he certainly isn't a defender, so in the words of the immortal thread, what exactly does he do?

Nigel Clough, Gerry Creaney, Bob Taylor, Christian Negouai, (I could probably name a few more if I thought hard enough) they played a fair few times but I never saw them do anything good.

It wasn't a free kick. It was a drive from outside the box.

Out of interest why would you feel the need to call one of our own players, who doesn't shy away from his duties and plays to the best of his ability most of the time, a cunt?

[MilnersJaw]

Lol Barry hardly fixes problems he is one of the main reasons we have problems going forward. Balls go through him and he slows everything down. Specialising passing the ball around the outside box and throwing his weight around.

For our main mindfielder, he offers no creativity which is what we desperately need and no speed. He doesnt even shoot. Id rather see lumpard playing than Barry if he does leave chelscum

Because with the exception of Nasri, he is the worst footballer in the current squad, and one of the worst defenders in a top tier squad since Rigobert Song played for Liverpool.

And because it clearly annoys you

I disagree. He's probably the best player we've got.
