Frankie 8,552 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 It's easy to blame individuals - and I certainly do at games - but the buck rests with us as a team. Only the defence can really say they've performed well enough this season. The midfield and attack have both been far too inconsistent. However, to attain improvement, we have to go after the weakest links. Ferguson may or may not be our worst midfielder but the financial factor means he's most likely to go. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is the point I was trying to make,unsuccessfully,how one individual gets blamed for the teams inconsistency is unfair regardless who it is. I do agree BF has let his standards drop for a number of seasons and I am certainly not trying to defend some of the criticism aimed at him, I just feel it is OTT most of the time, it's a team game 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,614 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I think the thing with Barry though, is that he used to be able to lift a whole team and so now we expect it from him. If he is earning over �£30K a week then it should be expected from him. Unfortunately his pay currently doesn't reflect his current form. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but he more than any other midfield player is capable of that IMO,although as you say he isn't doing it 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
