West Bromwich Albion FC / Re: Gareth Barry

« Last post by SmethDan on Today at 12:00:08 AM »

Find it amazing this 'non involvement' is only coming out now. How strange in a world of social media that people ITK could keep shtum for so long and let Barry take the stick for something he allegedly didn't do. Even stranger that he didn't defend himself, unless of course there's a much bigger and untouchable fish higher up the food chain.

Still seems rather odd that a seasoned professional would take the fall for someone else, unless of course there were far more to things than meets the eye. If so then it appears equally strange that Foster came out on social media (not long before/after his move) to insinuate the whole mess was no big thing and had been blown out off all proportion.

Something happened or it didn't, meaning 'someone' was involved or they weren't. I won't hold my breath waiting to find out.

but not at the cost of compromising the forward unit and entertainment !
not so easy now is it?

Yes, it is. We play the way we do but instead of miss hitting 20 yard passes we pass the ball to each other.  Just stuff players at this level should be capable of.

We may well be looking back on another Lukaku type situation in a few years, but lets enjoy it while we can, he is a cut above.

We got the ball to him against Blues, he just didn't play very well. The difference between Friday and last night was his performance. At his age he'll have off days, but he looks a superb player when he's on it.

Think Blues gave him a lot less time on the ball, zero at times. He looked at least one level up on everyone else last night, superb is the word.

If he wasn't involved, why was he dropped?

He wasn't initially if I remember rightly, he picked up an injury soon after though.

Be nice to follow up the Bristol game with another 3 points takes the pressure off us for the following away game. Think a few tweaks will be seen in this game/ palace in the cup. No way Barry is playing more than a hour in each surely if he even plays both. Be tempted to let Gibbs play one game Townsend the other (Gibbs injury record worse than Darren andertons) I also think we need to get Phillips some rest because if he gets injured we are up the creek without a paddle- if we are going to see hrk come on I would like it right side to rest Phillips

Brunt back in for Barry after being rested last night. Would try Tosin ahead of Bartley. Will do a graphic later.

Not really sure Barry was any better or any worse than Brunt has been in there.
For large parts of the game our midfield were overrun. However think be harsh to change the winning team.
60 mins out of Barry and get field on. As somebody else posted be nice to not see the obligatory hrk sub especially if it's for Gayle who is a great outlet for us.

This has to be Barry, Brunt and Mozzas last season with us regardless of division surely.

If we are going to play this system then yes. Brunt in a flat 4 or even as a third man in midfield or possibly as second choice left back- but at best squad player.
Morrison some how got another year and got injured again. I hope testimonial plans are well underway so they get the send off they deserve.

And Gareth Barry absolutely he's only got an hour in his legs and I'm not sure he can do that twice a week.

Irrespective of the result two points are glaringly obvious , the defence is woeful with premiership quality defenders seemingly unable to pick a pass and continually giving the ball away thus creating most of the problems in our third of the pitch secondly the wing back play in the system is not up to standard , fortunately the four main men  up  front are quite capable of creating and scoring goals so we need to sort the problem out without  diminishing our goal threat .
Big Dave as a former defender hopefully will get it sorted, and as one of the clubs modern day heroes, he will be given the time to get it sorted , this is a wide open division and any team who can score the amount of goals we have already scored , but keep down the goals conceded column will get promoted , so far one out of two so keep it going Big Man you have the vast majority of fans on your side

Blimey, According to this site in the last week
The keepers well dodgy
The defence is a shambles
Midfield needs sorting - STILL
One striker is only good for pens
The subs are crap and mis-timed
The kid everyone wants to play did naff all

oh and the captain got dropped (not rested) much to one posters chagrin

How in gods name are we third with most goals scored in the div
