Back to the Barnes/Navarro debate...

[FalmerforAll!**]

Both below par, mystified how they were able to start and finish that game.

Cue usual "stop moaning we won" comments...

Utter bollocks. Barnes in particular was excellent today. Just shut the f*** up.

 

[ees complicated no?]

Your heading for some trouble now !!!

I think Nav played ok still dont see why he starts every game, as for barnes I swear he just walks around the pitch half the time, I rate him as highly as harley.

 

[FLOG GNAW]

You're not allowed to think Barnes had a bad game.

 

[Since1982]

I thought they both played well today - again. Opinions.

Barnes was o.k today but i agree about navarro as he is pretty dam average and his pass that went astray in the first half was hilarious.I think navarro gets carried by other players a lot and i felt he did when we had crofts.

Navarro is the weak link,slow,poor passing at times and no creativity,he works hard bless but thats it.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

navarro done what he does every game.he is steady but that is it.barnes was ok but no way was he 'excellent'

 

[NMH]

Barnes was excellent today.
One speculative shot which didn't come off, but perhaps if he was made to feel a bit more confident instead of conspicuous, those things might come off.

This thread I declare A Load Of Bollocks, because.... it really is.

Navarro was class today I thought, and Barnes wasn't bad either, some very good balls/ touches from both

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Navarro and Barnes both played very well. I would have preferred to see Razak with Bridcutt, but Gus got it right. I thought the game went by Navarro a bit on wendesday, but not today. And Barnes did a lot of linking up that people miss, he doesn't hold the ball long but that is what we need, move it out wide quickly. Vicente came on and gave a masterclass, I hope Barnes spends time with him in training because the way Vicente played is how Gus asks Barnes to play, but with more defending.

I tapped to talk.

 

[Hornblower]

I thought both had a good game today, Barnes in particular worked hard and was strong in winning back the ball on a number of occasions.

 

[banjo]

Thought they both played a solid game today nothing special. Thought barnes put him self about today and as for Navarro he's in the team to break up the play which he done to be fair.

Class are you for real
He's like a one paced horse.

 

[7:18]

Barnes was also moved around the pitch a lot as we adapted our team to the subs

 

[angmering albion]

I thought they were both 'just ok', nothing more. I thought Bridcutt had a pretty poor game today (and has been off the boil for a few weeks now). Maybe he needs to be rested?.

Play the game! Albion players are either WORLD-BEATING or CRAP.

 

[severnside gull]

I can only go offf the radio commentary but Johnny Byrne isn't usually a bad judge. He was praising Barnes performance but did comment that Navs wasn't having his best game. Mind you he also criticised Reyes (sorry, Gonzalo Jara as he wishes to be called) for some sloppy passing but I see on another thread that people had him as MoM until Vicente came on and changed the game........................................ just goes to show - if we had Messi playing at the Amex he would probably get stick for not putting himelf about enough

 

[rjbseagull]

Been said before, but no coincidence that our form has come about since Navs and Bridcutt have been playing together. Gives us more protection and gives the rest of the players a bit more freedom.

As for Barnes, was pretty good today, as he has been most of the season.

This and then some.

Barnes didn't put a foot wrong today and Navarro was into everything in the middle. Jesus we won 2-0 are 5th and people need to find something to moan about you stupid mtherfuckers.

 

[JCL666]

For fucks sake

The both played ok. Why on earth people have a constant need to slag them off is beyond me.

As for "Bridcutt was poor"....
