marmalade1872 40 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 i think we could all see today that bartley is not a right back so who do we go for Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jela 20,687 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Broadfoot should be playing right back. There is just no logical reason for having Bartley there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikhailichenko 90 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Bartley had a shocker. I was actually relieved that Kirk came on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordo7 147 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 At the moment, we really only have Broadfoot and Bartley, and as much as I don't rate Broadfoot, Bartley is just woeful at RB. Next season, we need a new one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemc 306 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Weve seen Bartley isnt a right back for a few weeks now but hopefully we are now getting players back from injury someone who can play there will Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
demise 3,581 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 We just happen to have whole lot of awful options in that position. Whittaker, Broadfoot and Bartley. I think Bartley is the worst, which isnt doing him any favours, as he makes Kirk Broadfoot looks good enough for Rangers. And that is sad.

GersAvA92 53 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Broaders until Whitt gets back, Bartley had another poor game today. He'd be better at CB and Goian hasn't been at his best lately, I dunno. Think Goian will pick up, that broken nose is doing him no favours.Anyways, wish we had went for Jaager, if we can afford to give Cousin 5-7k a week then why not 2.5k for Enar, ah well. Glad :Broadfoot: is back as big Kyle has been quite a bombsare since coming back tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyjones 3,009 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Bartley is terrible there, but he shouldn't be put in that position by the manager. If he has to be played, it should be in place of Goian who has been woeful lately and he appears to have been sussed by the opposition managers who try to exploit his non-existant pace at every turn. It really baffles me that McCoist doesn't feel the need to change things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boss 1,941 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Defensively, Broadfoot is the best right back at the Club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertz123 598 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Broadfoot done well when he came on - compared to Bartley who is awful in that position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_boca 31 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Why'd we let McMillan go, surely he wasn't on a big wage?Broadfoot's had some great games for us at full back, doesn't cut it in the big games (with the exception of Old Trafford away).

Bartley should be playing CH with Goian dropped til his nose is fixed & his confidence picks up. Hes been all over the place recently imo.

He never let us down.I agree that Broadfoot should be playing over Bartley at right back every day of the week. However if Goians getting dropped Perry should get his place, another one who hasn't let us down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocky Broon 207 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I have criticised Bartley in the past so I paid particular attention to him today.OK the guy was playing out of his preferred position but he has so many weaknesses that it surprises me Arsenal retain him.Maybe 4/5 years down the line he will be a decent CB but not at any top team in my opinion.Interesting that Mark Hately suggested before the start today that Bartley would have in his loan contract that he is to play a certain number of games.I dont think he is worth a start right now and Broadfoot is a far better option.

With Broadfoot & Roger injured he still couldnt get a game. Didnt even notice him today. Perry has looked decent but given the choice id play Bartley before him.

Zappa6995 3,693 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Broadfoot for the momentNo harm to Bartley but he is never a full back.We are pretty light in that area of the park Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt even notice him today. Perry has looked decent but given the choice id play Bartley before him.Using that logic Ross McCormack "wasn't good enough" despite the fact he would be our best forward (not counting Naisy) if we still had him... Players not getting a chance doesn't mean they aren't good enough.I think Bartleys looked poor in all positions this season to be honest. Perrys been solid when he's played.

deleteduser1 169 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Kirk Broadfoot is much better at RB than Kyle Bartley. :Broadfoot: Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfessionalCynic 2 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 He's put in some shocking performances this season, but we do miss Whittaker. He gets skinned alarmingly often, but at least he's normally in roughly the right position before that happens. Bartley seemed to think he was on the right side of a back 3 at times today (and against Aberdeen, where his positioning for the goal was woeful.). Also, he can cross a ball. Broadfoot can occasionally do it; Bartley can't do it at all as far as I can tell. Not a full-back.I think an on-form Whittaker - who we haven't seen this season - is definitely better than Broadfoot: given his pre-injury performances it's an open question and I'd give Kirk a run to stake a claim at least until Whittaker's fit again, and then make a decision. Both are much better options than Bartley, who should not be fielded in that position again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
southcoastbear 1,639 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Bartley isn't a right back, why he nevr played ortiz there is a question we may never no.Whits is far better in defensive midfield and I think is needed there to give more security to defence.Broadfoot is a right back and if given a run in team will improve. Should Broadfoot be injured again I would play edu there as he was ok when played there and has done so for USA on many occasions.Mcculloch seems to have relished playing up front again and should stay there so he or cousin is fit.How bocanegra would do as DM intigues me Bartley and Goian as a pair doesn't enthuse me but with bocanegra as cover, it's radical.?????only till whits gets back of course.Davis cannot be relied on defensively and edu is a good harrier but not a DM Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lau03143 88 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Broadfoot if Whittaker is out injured.To be honest, I think we should have kept Ricky Foster. He done a job and was a very versatile player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
