TRon Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 How do you see Barton in your midfield? I always thought that his best times at City were when he was used as a more forward-minded CM and not as DM. For some reason he's played pretty deep for us, even with Nicky Butt alongside him. I don't know if that's down to instructions or he just can't be arsed to run, much like the rest of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beezeri Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Barton's return will give Hughton even more options to pack the midfield...wouldn't be surprised if he goes brazilian style 4-2-2-2 formation. Who need width anyway? Butt Smith Guthrie Barton Shola Carroll Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that's down to instructions or he just can't be arsed to run, much like the rest of them. I think the reason for Barton playing deep last season was because the whole side stayed deep (for example against Liverpool, Man City in which he both played) and he tryed to get the balls deep in our own half. This season in the first 8 games or what it was he mostly played some kind of left wing player where he looked poor overall and wasn't so deep iirc.

Jayson Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 A side that includes a fit Barton is far more appealing than what we have. If Hughton has the opportunity to play: Harper Simpson Williamson Taylor Jose Routledge Barton Guthrie Jonas Loven Ameobi For at least 50% of our final fixtures we will be sure to go up Agree. Colo has been no better than Taylor this season, dont see what people find so strange about trying those two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who need width anyway? Butt Smith Guthrie Barton Shola Carroll Won't happen after he bought Routledge. Hughton is a manager who I think always will try to play every of his new signed players because they are "his" players and not Keegan's (Wise's) or Kinnear's or anything like that. He played Simpson from the first day even we had R.Taylor available, he played Harewood pretty much every game despite he played poor. Now it's the same with Williamson (ok, because Taylor is out) and also it will be with Routledge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ProudToBeAGeordie Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Barton was shite every game he played in this season, I would not have him straight back in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Barton was s**** every game he played in this season, I would not have him straight back in the team. Barton was carriying an injury, some kind of broken foot. Would you play some decent football with such an injury? (Or even without that) And he also was playing completely out of position on the left wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Barton was shite every game he played in this season, I would not have him straight back in the team. Because we've played so well in central midfield in his absence, yeah I see your point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 the next 3 games will decide whether barton comes back in. if nolan continues his current form and fails to score then hughton has no choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 the next 3 games will decide whether barton comes back in. if nolan continues his current form and fails to score then hughton has no choice. barton will come back in......choose any one from four for who to drop.

huss9 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 think jonas and routledge are safe - so any 1 from 2 - think smith is safe as hughton likes a defensive midfirlder, so looks like it will be barton vs nolan - who's better? only one way to find out.........

Guest Stephen927 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Barton will hopefully push Butt out of the team, though Hughton will probably come up with some formation to enable him to play both Guthrie and Barton on the left wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WashyGeordie Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 When (if) he comes back, he'll either break down with a injury again or get sent off.. probablies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
