It's got to be Barry, and this isn't because of what happened over the summer.
NRC is immense, and I find it beyond beleif how underrated he is by some Villa fans. I expect it from opposition fans, but from our own?
And the other reason being that Petrov has simply played better than Barry so far this season. What is the point having competition if you're just going to drop them for the big name (barry) even when they're playing better.
The midfield for our next game should be:
Young-NRC-Petrov-Milner
Although saying that, I'd be equally as happy with Barry being their as opposed to Petrov.
Why do people not rate NRC though? Who cares if he doesn't make wonder passes, as has been said Barry does this. So what is the problem? NRC makes the tackles, and passes to Barry who can hit his so called 'wonder balls' (or pass to Young who'll do all the work).
