Amazing how well we have done defensively at times with a right back who can barely stand up or kick a ball according to some clever people on here. :lol:

its amazing you defend him so much. Baffles me, its as clear as day he's not very good.
When a player is lauded for being committed then that tells you all you need to know
 
bardsley isn't even very good defensively. Rarely blocks crosses coming in as he's 3 yards away instead of 1 yard away. Loses out to back post headers. switches off from corners too.

he needs replaced, and sharpish.

Our defence WAS solid 'til he made his triumphant return from injury.

Pretty much went to shit after that :roll:

I defend him over idiotic comments. I have never said he is owt special but you already know that sweet cheeks. Not good enough for the premier league is the latest nonsense.

Have you never watched a good side play football in the last 5 years? Full Backs are more important than ever when it comes to attacking. They should provide extra width that stretches defences and leaves gaps in behind. They should offer support for the winger, not by standing behind them but by going past them in to the space. They exploit the space created by wingers drifting inside or being marked heavily.

Look at how much of a threat Rose is down the left and side and then ask yourself if we would create and score more with an equal threat down the right hand side. A central midfielder is top priority, but a right back is a very close second.

A lot of sense here. And I've always loved attacking fullbacks especially when they've a good partnership with a winger/wide midfielder. I cringe when some poster comments a player is 'wasted at full back'.

However, the primary tactic of under MoN is the counterattack. An overlapping fullback isn't exactly a key feature - if things go according to plan a winger should have be the pitch almost as soon as we regain possession, leaving the full back without a hope in hell of overlapping. What is needed from a MoN fullback is to release the ball quickly to the more forward players. Key skills are having an eye to starting a move, being available for a quick ball from the keeper, and not mess the whole thing up forever misplacing passes.

You keep saying it is nonsense but nobody can come up with anything decent to say about him that actually means something.
 
He cost £2m. He has been very good value for that. Is he one of our best players? No. Is he one of our worst? No. Is he a capable player who is useful to have but not so essential that a replacement would be a pointless? Probably.


I have a lot of time for him. He always puts in a goos shift, rarely has howlers and tends to play to a consistently average level of football. We have more to worry about than bardo imo.
