Wullie Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Do me a favour, we fkn wish Barton was anywhere near as good as Beckham was at Man Ure... Barton may be like Beckham is now. Nobody said he was as good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Didn't Carroll only score 1 goal from a Barton cross in open play? I'm sure someone posted that on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 And two of those came in our first two wins this season. The rest probably back end of the 0708 season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Of a midfield central 3 though wasn't it? I remember him, Butt and Geremi with Owen ahead of them and the full backs having free reign of the flanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Barton's role under Keegan wasn't too dissimilar to the one he has now. I can't understand how there's even a debate about it. There's no case whatsoever to move him back into the centre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Didn't Carroll only score 1 goal from a Barton cross in open play? I'm sure someone posted that on here. i think the two players together, playing that way, had much more impact than that though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Barton's best position seems to be wide right in a midfield 4 - though i do wonder how well he'd perform on the right in a midfield three. that Keegan midfield had to stretch out quite a bit due to effectively playing 3 central strikers, and there was an extra hand to help out defensively as we played no attacking midfielder, instead using one of the 3 strikers in that role. More common is to have a 4-3-3 with two forwards who play out wide like Malouda or Kalou. In that set-up Barton would effectively be being in a midfield two along Tiote and behind an attacking midfielder. Personally i think given licence to roam he's a real asset, Pardew was right about his eccentricity and being on the right lets him express that more than a restricted central role.

Disco Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Of a midfield central 3 though wasn't it? I remember him, Butt and Geremi with Owen ahead of them and the full backs having free reign of the flanks. IIRC Barton predominately played on the left under KK. With Geremi doing the swinging balls in. e.g. mackems 2-0 at home when Owen scored. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Might be right, but it certainly wasn't the same wide right role he has now anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larson Tiote Nolan Ben Arfa Barton Matuidi Ireland Jonas this sounds like a good plan with Gosling can play in all four positions we will be good account for ourselves.
