I'm not anti Barry at all; I just think Yaya's a classier player overall and in a big match I'd pick him over Barry every time. There again this site is about opinions and most are giving Barry the thumbs up.
Congratulations on a good thread Ted.
Probably, depends on the game. The thing is that Yaya is so effective at bursting forward that it's not a tactic we can afford to discount entirely. What's the point in having someone who's peerless at a particular tactic, a tactic that can cause havoc and rip teams apart, and then not using it at all?
I think you're probably right about Yaya getting the big games but I reckon in a lot of ways it could be fluid and form week-to-week will decide who gets a shot at what time. In theory, Yaya gets the place, but competition is tough and nothing is decided.
I'm not sure that we can put out overwhelmingly attacking teams in big matches and expect de Jong to protect the defence on his own.
