First my point on Given yet again today he punched the ball away when he should have caught it (and it probably would have been easier to catch it?) and not the first game he's done it. Makes me shit myself when he does it as it usually goes to opposition and fuck knows why he does it. I'm not having a go at his ability here or how badly he played I just don't understand why he keeps punching it away with both hands when he is surrounded by players and he can clearly grab it.
Second Barry I thought looked a lot more convincing at left back didn't he?? He instantly looked like the player he was when we bought him and started making some decent passes even at the other side of the field. Maybe he should start at LB in future. Maybe it's just me on the Barry thing though but he really seemed to be playing lot better soon as we took Bridge off.
