.....but Barry has always been slow, Doug. Nothing new there. His role is very restrictive, a Pienaar or Osman are usually his 'out' ball but unfortunately that isn't happening. Just my theory as a possible explanation.

Bah humbug - to turn off the snow, visit your preferences and select a style that isn't Christmas.

His slowness has worsened considerably in recent weeks, he is a class act with the legs of a 40 year old. The availability of an out ball or otherwise becomes redundant when you are arriving so late for a tackle, hacking the player down or letting him waltz past you.

Hope not. We need him asap!
Very valid point above about barry too. I said this 6 weeks ago or so. He's had NO out ball most the season.
No Pienaar - Who is an excellent out ball on the left to start attacks, either down the line with Baines or cutting inside.
No Barkley - Well limited barkley central, being available to receive the ball in the hole and charging forward.
No RW - Been a problem posistion all season.
Miralass, Pienaar, Barkley, Delefoe, even McGeady a little, all provided out ball options last season.
Pienaar at or near his best is an asset, but I fear he won't be fit enough for long enough to have any sustained impact on the team. Age and injuries account for that. Need a younger version, but couldn't tell you who.

Do not think we will ever see him as he was. His value to Everton is now minimal and should be released.

No mate, he's just too old and has been utter [Poor language removed] this season.
Isn't he one of our highest earners though - around 60-70k a week?
Like Gibson he is really good when fit but he hasn't been the latter for a large chunk of the past 18 months.

Same. At £2m one of Moyes' best value for money signings along with Arteta and Cahill.
His link-up play with Baines when he was in his pomp will be talked about for years to come at Goodison as they formed the best left sided attack in the league for a time.
But if his legs have gone they've gone. Maybe a slower paced league like La Liga would suit him at this stage of his career.
What I liked most about him though was that he always played with smile on his face.
very good player, on the way down like, but we don't have anyone like him
