Modric to the scum

[jlc09]

He had a great match last night. Looked comfortable against Spain's pressing.

Barry is a decent player, but come on, Modric is a level or two above.

Barry is not a playmaker. Barry is a defensive midfielder. His role is to support the playmakers.

And to set the stage. We often check back to him to restart an attack. Do others do this? Over the course of a game, yes, but he does it reliably and well. What's controversial about this?

He wasn't talking to you.

Thank you for clarifying. :)

I've no idea what 'setting the stage' means and passing the ball to Barry to 'restart an attack' does not make him a 'playmaker'.

Any player can 'start / re-start an attack' (goalie included) - that term means nothing, in the context of your argument.

He isn't a playmaker and he and Modric are not comparable in terms of style/role and subsequently any discussion about who's 'better' (as seen elsewhere in this thread) is also moot.

He fills in as the regista quite often.

Modric is a lot more comparable to Barry than Iniesta tbh

Decent player him, wouldnt mind him in Blue as Barcelona are on the downward trail.

You're right. He's definitely a sweeper.

Comparing Modric to Barry is wrong, it should be Modric vs Yaya toure since Barry is played predominately as a holding midfielder.
