I wasn't keen on Lennon when there were initial rumours of a loan but he's really grown on me since he's worn our shirt. Not least because he doesn't make a fuss when he is sat on the bench, just tries his hardest when he gets a chance, and seems to have really taken to the club and its ethos.

hopefully has a good game on Tuesday if he's picked LL ;)
 

Great to see your teams doing well. I am a Villa season ticket holder of 30 years, Garath Barry is one of the greatest players I have ever had the pleasure of watching. How the hell he has not got over 100 caps is a crime. Look at the midfield players England have had over the last decade...is Barry on a par with them or better? Its a [Poor language removed]*** crime useless England managers have ignored him, probably a reason they have been sacked as they do nit have a f***** clue.

He's been ever present in a team that has consistently been bottom half for nearly two seasons now. I don't think anyone apart from Lukaku would be missed if they suddenly weren't in our 11 any more.

I don't rate him at all mate. He sits far too deep for my liking to make up for his lack of pace and like a lot of the team is good on the ball but offers little off it. He also makes a huge amount of key errors (as shown in that article).

We have a problem pressing oppositions who have quick midfield a. They just run all over us and is one of the reasons we concede so many late goals. I think Barry was a good player but now has slowed down so is relying on sitting deep and using his wiles on the ball. Partnered with McCarthy who is extremely average and we have the poor midfield that has been one factor towards us being bottom half.

In comparison to teams in the top 6 our midfield just doesn't come close.

No midfielder in the league has made more mistakes that have led to goals than him.

He's symptomatic of a Martinez team. Looks good on the ball but completely hopeless st stopping it flying into his own net. I dread to think what the stat would be had Kabe had his shooting boots at WHL when Barry played him in numerous times. Not good enough.

The Moyes thing was a joke as you well know. Yeah I think Barry is poor. He might well be best of a diabolical bunch (I don't think he is) but he's still not good enough. No side in the top 6 would have him.

Wonder what the poll question would be? Is Gareth Barry good enough for a top 4 midfield? Do you think 99% would answer yes?

That's our ambition isn't it?

Nah mate, he looks OK in amongst the B team dross. Koeman has seen through Grandad Barry.

I'm hating this mate, being had off all over the Internet here. Fair play to Grandad he's had two v good games but I'm not going to go back on my assessment of him under Martinez.

No, that he was average for the past two seasons and that one of Martinez's biggest mistakes was building a side around an older slower player.
