Gareth Barry

[The Rhino]

Why are people saying he's out? Koeman would have confirmed it if he was please don't say some twitter 'ITK'

Can't see us winning if we take them on in a basketball style game. We'll be picked apart from start to finish.

Here's the thing though, is it a bit of a myth about having to sit deep men behind ball and counter to get a result, Seville second half of the cup final went at them and absolutely tore them apart, city the other day should have scored 4-5 against them, yeah you play a suicidal high line from start to finish then it's stupid, but they aren't barca or Madrid, for that matter Dortmund absolutely reamed them until they collapsed as well, they are infinitely get attable , just need to not do it with utter disdain.

Apparently he is actually injured too!

May play but only with an injection beforehand.

Don't get me wrong Barry has done well over the years for us but if we play him the derby we are beat before we start....

So there's surely no way that he can start on Saturday and Tuesday. I'd guess that Koeman will bench him at Anfield and try to get him ready to face United.

The one time I actually wanted you to play Gareth.

I might get a game at centre mid at this rate.

Typical before the derby like. Just waiting for Rom to lose a leg or catch Ebola or something.

he gave the ball away 4 times with poor passes. But defensively he has been solid tonight.

Oh mate x

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Monster game for us. Still has it in his tank.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Still wouldn't start him against Liverpool or Spurs, those teams have too much pace, but he still has a part to play in this squad going forward

 

[Toffee-nerd]

BrillIant. So much desire and fight tonight. Play gaz baz
