Gareth Barry

Inclined to agree. Very good footballer and I actually rate him highly, but he does inherently change our ethos when he is in the team.

I'd actually play him as a CB in the next game.

I know that sounds crazy, but we're running out of options there now...

Its his pace id worry about in that position. Otherwise he be a fine player in there. Jags who has slowed would leave him for dust.

...I remember him playing as a 17 year old CB for Villa at Goodison and he was brilliant. Only problem is our next game is Leicester and Vardy would be rubbing his hands at the prospect. Remember Vardy against Lucas recently.

His ability to make a professional foul is second to none. He senses danger perfectly.

At CB to cover for injuries and suspensions?

In two minds. Very good player but has he got the legs now?

 

[paulbefc]

His ability to remain snidey and irritating to the opposition after being booked without getting sent off is sensational.

That's what we need. A few more bellwhiff snides and we'd break top four.

Telling you.

Great attitude and performance last night. Morgan comes in for me the wknd in there though.
Don't get the shouts to play him CB , Vardy would have a field day. Holgate at CB with Kenny at RB

 

[jtl60]

Yet again proved his doubters wrong with a superb display.

 

[toffeeblue9]

Against a team without too much athleticism and movement in midfield, he's still a good player. He needs to be managed carefully but he has more left in the tank. He'll be useful next season with European games etc

I think Pennington is obviously ahead of anybody else at centre half, hence him starting on Saturday.

Can't put Gaz Baz CB against Vardy Grouch.

It'd be cruel.

Yeh it'll be Pennington. Be a tough test but we just need Jags to be on top form.

Maybe right mate . Think id rather someone with some pace beside Jags but who knows what the manager thinking will be. Had us baffled last night with the subs.

Be interesting to see the line up Sunday. Leicester are on top form and we have a few out at the back, hopefully Schneids back, can actually see him setting up quite solid and trying to hit them on the counter. Think he will go with this, but wouldn't be surprised to see Barry play at all either.

--------------Robles------
Holgate-Pennington-Jags-Baines
----Davies---Schneids-Gueye--------
Barkley-----Lukaku-------Mirallas

it's actually not a bad side!

Subs: Kenny, Barry, DCL, Valencia, Stek, Lookman, Williams

Barry last night was superb pleasure to watch
