He has been absolutely abysmal for the majority of the season. Like the rest of the team is now strolling around with the pressure off. Fine that he had to cover injuries, but when all fit he shouldn't get in ahead of Gibson or Besic.
Nope.
And Nope.
It seems as though the hype train is chugging along nicely here.
Barry is at the moment a better player than Besic.
Besic is a raw diamond, a player with unrealised potential as of yet. Yes he's shown plenty of promise in his debut season moving from Hungary.
That is something to be congratulated and something which gives hope for the future, that we might have something special on our hands.
But despite all that, Barry is the better player at the moment, by a reasonable margin.
Gibson is a different matter, but he isn't fit so isn't in the equation.
Barry was overplayed this season due to injuries and Europe. He's looked like the player he was last season when he's had time to recover between games instead of having to play the full 90 every couple of days.
