Kiwivillan Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I'm constantly astonished how much love he gets from the masses on FB that think he's a quality DM I feel like I'm watching different games 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit parts here and there have not done him any good and nor will it do him any good being played that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good player will look good whenever unless coming back from a long injury lay off. Barney is barely adequate at this level. He will put in the odd good game but mainly be very average with the odd stinker thrown in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is only thrown the odd game here and there then all there is to judge is.. "Well, he played shit in that 20 minute spell didn't he". Hopefully we don't scout the same way based on bit part roles. i.e Taylor having a solid 10 minute gane for Wales. "He looked good when coming on in the 76th minute. Let's sign him up" Edited January 16, 2019 by AvfcRigo82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it two weeks ago, he is lazy, slow and is just not sharp enough to play the fast paced game that Dean wants. He wasn't fast or sharp enough to play the type of game SB wanted, let alone DS. Nowhere near good enough at this level 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why he only plays a bit part. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Trying to decide if Bjarnason is our most technically cursed player of the last decade or if it's Holman, Bacuna or Richardson and it's making my head hurt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 He just falls in to that large pool of players over the years of...." exactly what affect does he have on a game" " how exactly does he effect a game" He is not on his own, but that doesn't really help does it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"He's quicker than Whelan" seems to be the best argument for him. I'd sell him for a bag of quavers tbfh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I actually think he is a straight MF at best. No a very good one mind. He definitely isnt a DMF. You have to be the best footballing brain to play as a DMF, something he has none of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 When you can barely get a game in a midfield that contains Glenn Whelan and Conor Hourihane it's probably time to think about a career change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 What is his best position? For iceland he plays left mid and does alright for them. Last season he play DM with Conor and did okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season he play DM with Conor and did okay. His role with Iceland is "LM" but it's basically cover the fullback, cover the central midfield areas and cover the centre backs if possible. He is not expected or asked to do anything more than that. That's why he does well for Iceland, he can run a lot in games where they do not want the ball and do everything they can to ensure the opposition have the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 He would 100% be better at LB than Taylor. He can slot in there if we get a DM in before a LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair he's played there for us before and he was horrendous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
