Agree, barry looks a shadow of the player he was last season. Maybe with the 3 year contract he's not as hungry to impress as last year.

Barry is still a very good players, make no mistake, but he's just so slow.

And half our problem this season is that we're soooo effing slow!

Yeah I said in the match thread that barry is taking 2 or 3 touches when it looks like an early pass is on and by the time he passes the ball it's too late. Just really frustrated with everything this season.

 

[Mrk]

Probably our best player today.

 

[mglennon]

Good positive from today. McCarthy n besic going forward

 

[Woolly Blue]

Good performance from the lad today.

Two big games at Anfield and Old Trafford and he's not let us down. Can't lie, I feared the worst when he was booked ( not sure why he was booked tbh ), but he didn't let it phase him and did some good stuff both in defense and going forward. Early days yet, but he looks a class act.

 

[Zodiak2]

Agree with Woolly he looks to have all the tools to become a very good and important player for us, he just needs time to sharpen them.

Lets not forget the lad has come from the Hungarian league so a big step up and he'll naturally take a little time to adapt.

Looks quality.

So far he's been nothing special. McCarthy and Barry is still the CM.

 

[marty mcfly]

if stones injured put barry cb

He doesn't have the pace.

 

[AJC5]

So far he's been nothing special. McCarthy and Barry is still the CM.

He plays more forward passes than McCarthy and Barry and is also better at driving past players with the ball. I love McCarthy but I think he needs to be a bit braver in possession to jump up to the next level. Besic is better in possession on the evidence of today.

 

[bicycleheader]

He will wow us a few times before the end of this season once we get going again. I am sure of that.

Has Barry been special?

 

[Dymak]

So far he's been nothing special. McCarthy and Barry is still the CM.

He is only 22 and has shown good promise and good bottle at the World Cup and also in two big games against United and Liverpool. I think he will be Champions League class by the time he is 24. He is a very promising player.

Different class today him. Him and Stones our best players by a mile.

Said all along Id start McCarthy and Besic, think they'd work so well together.

Having said that for Barry did well today too just a bit slow for me. Slows down our flowing passing sometimes..

 

[Mrk]

Barry is great for games where we can control the tempo of the game - nobody comes close to him at dictating our play from deep - but when it comes to games like today's, we need energy and pace in midfield.

It's great that we have so many options in central midfield now.

Agree with it all. Besic was strong in the tackle , good on the ball and showed for it a lot. Growing with every game.
stones was pure class too. I thought Hibbert didn't do too bad on Di Maria in fairness. barry seemed a bit leggy but for the biggest let down was Pienaar. He was turbo shyte today. On that performance I wouldn't consider him again. Attitude was shocking and he was just bad. Lukaku makes Yakubu look like a workhorse. He doesnt move when they have the ball and when we have it going forward he still doesnt move. He is looking a bit of a mule tbh
