terrible, just gives the ball away too much

Slow, clueless and the first touch of a donkey.
Give the fooker a break - had a bad game - looked fooked to me - though the Silva / DJ sub was fookin barmy thought Barry needed a break wouldhavew kept Silva on

all these people saying give him a break, he's been doing it game after game, why doesn't mancini play milner there instead?

Barry gave the ball away 13 times today.
That's one more than Silva and three less than Yaya, despite passing 10-15 times more than them.
He doesn't add "fuck all". Do you really think that a succession of professional football managers and national team managers would play a player that adds fuck all? Just because you can't see his game, doesn't mean it isn't there.
The absolute point of Gareth Barry is to play the same role as Carrick does at United, Xavi does at Barcelona or Pirlo has done at Milan. He is purely there to move the ball around the midfield; not to kick to long at every opportunity. He passes the ball sideways, so that our players can receive the ball in a position where they can use their peripheral vision to spot the movement of the four forwards/defenders ahead of them. This is also why he often drifts wide, it gives him a better view of the whole pitch and allows him to see the development of the play. He also retains the ball really well usually and his average pass completion is in the 80s%. He had a bad game today, as did everybody, it happens.
I don't know what you'd call this as a position. I suppose central midfielder is the best description we have, but "crab" is more accurate.
It's a position that is highly important to any tactic that has a large number of people up top, and because it requires a unique type of intelligence, not a lot of people can play it either. If you put Yaya here for example, he'd be fucked. Same with Milner. Vieira can and does sometimes play this role, and he gets criticised for it too.

Viera looked 10X better than Barry. My opinion is that he just isnt that good.. but I have been wrong before.
He hardly ever completed a pass today and gave u dumb free kicks.

Revolver said:There wasn't exactly a load of options for him to pass to especially in the second half. Like a lot of our players he looked tired.
that only applies when the player can make a simple 5 yd pass which barry seems unable to do
I would like to see the opta stats thingy for the player who makes the most mis placed passes
my guess would be that barry is head and shoulders above anyone else in the league he is ponderous and gives away some of the most ludicrous fouls Whilst I am a big mancini fan I fail to see why he persists in playing this clown barry
