Stevo985 Posted August 31, 2008 VT Supporter Share Posted August 31, 2008 Young, Barry, NRC, Milner for me. NRC is vital to our success. Forget MOTD highlights, the guy breaks up play so well and has a huge engine, we need him in the centre of the park, not stuck on the right wing.

Yup, IIRC a better pass completed percentage than Barry last season, a guy who's in the england team because he passes well and doesn't give the ball away.

ianrobo1 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 the poll is interesting small sample but 70% reckon Petrov should be dropped says a lot about how fans watch the game and how players perform How do you mean? simple Scott he has been the best midfielder yet peopel would drop him people suggest shrorey and have Barry at LB for christs sake ... the worse midfielder so far and the one that has to be dropped is Barry, no question of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulanddonya Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 To me its absolutely obvius - and therefore even more annoying for today. It has to be Young, NRC, Barry, Milner Yes, harsh on Petrov, but that is clearly our strongest midfield. Petrov should be cover for barry, Sidwell for NRC and if we had have started that today - we'd have slaughtered them - blinking annoyed !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 31, 2008 Moderator Share Posted August 31, 2008 I'm amazed at the results of the poll considering he has perhaps been our best player so far this season. Lost for words I really am, it seems some would rather stick to preconceptions rather than judge on performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 the worse midfielder so far and the one that has to be dropped is Barry, no question of that I personally feel that you may be letting your anger at GB for the summer get to you and cloud your judgement. I cant see what GB has done on the pitch, apart from one poor performance at Stoke, to warrant the comments. Today he played well, against man city he was superb, against Odense he was superb. Without barry we arent anything like a top 4 team, with him,who knows? but we look better with him there than not, which was the whole point in fighting off liverpool all summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 its difficult...... NRC offers something nobody else can...the ability to harass and tackle for 90 mins........in many ways he is crucial to the team........ Petrov has proved he can play that role also very well.........and he passes and moves the ball much better than NRC looking for the forward pass more often than not......plus his stamina is still pretty good......... its one of these two who has to go........and ive plumped for NRC but only just........ god knows about Sidwell......ive almost forgotten about him!!

Unfortunatly, although I consider it to be far from his best position, Barry. Nah, he's shit there. Stick with Shorey I say mate. Shorey's big problem, lack of pace. And it will be a huge problem for Barry if he's put there. What works in Shorey's favour, is the fact it's his natural postion, so we're better off sticking with him until Bouma returns. Although Barry would be a better option attacking wise, he's a useless defender really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, IIRC a better pass completed percentage than Barry last season, a guy who's in the england team because he passes well and doesn't give the ball away.yes but Barry may strive to do something creative with the ball and try and score a goal, going forwards. Not hit a 60 yard passes back to the keeper because he can't control the ball properly and panics when the ball comes to him and he's got a opposition player within 10 yards. NRC has to be dropped, then he can go and watch Barry Bannan and learn how to play football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villafan306 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I'd drop Shorey tbh and put Barry at left back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 31, 2008 Moderator Share Posted August 31, 2008 Nothing to do with anger but I personally don't think Barry played well today, he was ok when we were in possession but when we weren't he walked around the pitch. He was terrible at Stoke and even worse on Thursday, on current form he doesn't deserve to be in the team ahead of Petrov or NRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
