Gareth Barry

[Kev The Rat]

Thought he looked a lot better second half tbh well he would do with that waste of space besic off the pitch as he was having to take up ground that he should have been covering.

 

[daz4matty]

He is not fit and missin his partner in the middle

 

[diggerdestroyer]

of
Besic is the least of our problems. Barry has been caught on the ball more times then i wish to remember. His passing today was terrible

Exactly .
Barry looked like our new phil nev today. We need more pace...... hold it ...... sorted ....stick osman on

I thought he was awful the full game.

 

[davidloach]

sucks cause he's been such an important player for us the past year. hasn't been quite up to it recently though

 

[DanEFC92]

Had a shocker.

Yet another individual mistake (Mariner decision, aside) that led to a goal. How many is that now?

 

[Joey66]

He looks so slow, and makes you wonder does McCarthy make him look good - he should have been subbed today before Besic!

Dont get why you hate besic that much was it besic's fault for barry awful back heel which was part of the build up to the pen. Barry doesnt look fit it looks like he has been rushed back to play with mccarthy and gibson both injured which has exposed his lack of pace

He's not great but I did see an improvement in him second half

 

[EFCPaul]

Clearly he relies on McCarthy to be the legs in the partnership, plus he's also clearly not fit yet after coming back from that ankle problem.

He's banned from the next game now isn't he? Don't use him against Krasnador either, he could use a breather for a few weeks to get back to 100%.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

think his legs have gone.

Can happen to a player of his age at any time.

 

[ToffeeDoug]

Barry on the pitch is fine all the time we are winning or drawing in a match we are taking steadily, but he is neither use nor ornament in matches we are losing and chasing an equaliser or drawing in a match we are desperately trying to win.

Has Roberto ever subbed Barry?

 

[Tubey]

Simply not true. He was horrendous from the first minute to the last and did almost nothing right.

 

[fitzyefc]

He has been awful since January last year. Finally been found out by our fans who for some reason thought he was unbelievable last season when he was far from it especially the second half of the season. Next Monday is perfect to see how McCarthy and Besic can play together but ill guarantee it will be Osman.

 

[Dymak]

I'm worried that Martinez is so in love with Barry that he will continue to play him for another 2 or 3 years.
