He slows everything down, his passing is too conservative in both speed and incisiveness. Wide players are forever checking back to get a pass from Barry. He takes too long on the ball, far too ponderous, then when he does lay it off to Ross or Davies theyre inevitably taking it standing still, with opposition players on them immediately. Compare him to someone like Carrick who sweeps penetrating passes in front of players already on the run bringing them into the game. Too slow, too negative, too old, he plays we lose.
