Anyone who thinks Milner is a better footballer than Barry should watch that first half against Swansea on a continuous loop for a week.

Intelligence and composure vs physicality and bluster, it's a no contest.
 
Milner every single day for me.

But then again one plays on the left and the other the right... so it's not like we have to choose one or the other is it?

Edit: Oh, and don't mistake this for me thinking Barry is bad. Just because I like Milner more doesn't mean I have to hate Barry...
 
Agree completely. Barry's lack of pace a real hindrance when he has the opportunity to break forward though.
 
the swansea game is like a pre season friendly, you cant really judge or compare players based on this.

saying that id rather have milner in the team
 
Why compare them? They have different jobs to do on the pitch. Milner is more versatile but Barry plays his defensive role very well. A fully fit Rodwell will be the eventual replacement for Barry.

I'm not really just comparing them directly in this game, it's a wider point that people who criticise Barry for a lack of pace don't appreciate what an intelligent footballer he is.

Similarly, people who rave about Milner's work rate and attitude don't appreciate how bad his final ball and decision making is.
