I knew we were going to lose today as soon as I saw...

Barnes has been in the squad for every match this season.

 

[Bigbelly]

Barnes in the squad.

Thought the same.

 

[SeagullSongs]

CMS is more the weakness. That 1 on 1 could of changed the game but typically CMS bangs it into the floodlights.

They have lights on the post?
No wonder he missed, that must be pretty distracting.

 

[Blackadder]

I knew we were in trouble when I saw our defensive lineup with no defenders on the bench.

I knew we were SCREWED when one of our four defenders was sent off after 5 minutes. (I would rather CP had scored).

Trigger, I have met you a couple of times. We had a laugh on Coxy's bus to Wycombe. I think, on this occasion, you are wrong with your scapegoat.

 

[Fitzcarraldo]

Even if he wasn't the scapegoat today, the thought that Barnes is good enough to get a starting place in a team seriously challenging for the play offs is LAUGHABLE. What does he actually bring to the team? Whoops, I forgot, he offers protection to the left back. You need your front three to actually look they might actually ask questions of the opposition. Defenders playing us must find it HILARIO that we have such an utterly toothless winger. Will he knock it past you? No. Will he beat you in the air? No. Will he beat you with trickery? No. Put him front of the keeper, would you back him to score? No. Will he foul you petulantly? Yes. Will he chase back and foul you petulantly? Yes.

f*** off Barnes you League One shit.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

It's funny but I remember posts like this about Murray after Brentford just two years ago. I can guarantee that when Barnes moves on to another Championship club, people will be moaning about why we let him go.

 

[Fitzcarraldo]

Can he put in a decent cross? No.

 

[BensGrandad]

When I heard the team I thought that Gus was going to shut up shop and try for a breakaway 1-0 win.

I'm not so sure. We'll be too busy worrying about our relegation fight in the Premier League to think about some League One carthorse.

 

[Danny-Boy]

With me it was Dunk, didnt take long to be proved right. What passing he displayed in his 6 minutes on the pitch, what control from a relatively straightfoward pass from Bruno, what a tackle lunging in on Bolasie. Class display. He is inexperienced though, shouldn't have started

Wasn't it Dunk who scored the own-goal against Liverpool last season? Or was it the West Ham game? That seemed to indicate a weakness in temperament under pressure.

 

[Zebedee]

Gus was going to leave Barnes on the bench today but at the last moment he just couldn't help himself...

 

[blue and white stripes45]

Barnes in the squad.

I will only add that i said at the start of the game that with CMS and Barnes playing together we have already lost sorry to say i was right , why cant the dictator see it its f***ing obvious.Gus Poyet will never manage a top flight team all the while he has a hole in his arse

 

[Twizzle]

I think this is a prime example to show that fans know little about football.

This.
Same sort of shit some shat out about el Abd.

 

[Arrid]

But surely you know that on a day where Barnes was one of our better players, and given the circumstances that we had 10 men for 85 minutes, a moan about Barnes is pointless bordering on idiotic.

What day was that then?

 

[somerset]

Barnes isn't the problem. Being without El-Abd and Bridge is.

All three methinks

What pompous crap...... Piss right off please.

 

[Beach Hut]

Barnes who created the only real chance we had to score although I must admit he went into headers all elbows yesterday

A chimp will produce a literary masterpiece if sat in front of a typewriter for long enough........ just how long will we have to wait until AB produces some basic football skills to justify his continued selection.
