Barlaser's passing stats are much better than Howson's but slightly behind Hackney's. He has 2 assists, one from a corner and one from open play. Crooks has 5. Then we have a whole host of players on 2 assists including Forss and Silvera who have hardly played. So he is barely an assist machine.

Passing stats. Best just to consider the CMs in this as these vary widely by position. CBs usually have the best completion stats with more attacking players having the worst stats. It stands to reason that the further up the pitch you get, the more difficult it is to complete a pass.

Passes/90 mins

Barlaser - 77.4 (Completion Rate - 85.1%)
Hackney - 67.8 (Completion Rate - 87.1%)
Howson - 54.2 (Completion Rate - 81.4%)

So he has 10 passes/match more than Hackney but that doesn't tell you the whole story. Barlaser on average gains 12 passes/match from deadballs whereas Hackney only has 2passes/match from deadballs. So they both average 65 passes/match from open play with Hackney having the better completion rate.

Shooting Stats

Howson and Hackney both have 1 goal and Barlaser hasn't scored.

Hackney has had 16 shots (4 on target)
Howson has had 6 shots (1 on target)
Barlaser has had 3 shots (0 on target)

Now for balance let's put the Defensive Stats up. And this is where Barlaser really struggle

Tackles

Hackney - 28
Howson - 18
Barlaser - 8

Blocks

Hackney - 26
Howson - 13
Barlaser - 2

Interceptions

Hackney - 6
Barlaser - 9
Howson - 12

Obviously stats only tell you part of the picture and I'm posting mainly just to put the facts up.

So he doesn't shoot, score, assist, tackle, block, but makes the odd interception?

Ive said numerous times this season that he looks like hes dwindling but he didn't cost us two goals.

He was very isolated in the middle. I don't agree with the tactics that Carrick employed playing Barlaser so deep and splitting the centre backs but I think he only did that to give Barlaser the time he needs on the ball.

possibility because the last thing we need is Fry playing it out lol

How did he play? Missed the game today, first one this season I’ve missed either being there or watching it

He played quite well, it’s clear to see that carrick is developing his position and it’s very very deep. He made some really nice passes which a couple of times we should have done better.
 
Lacks a bit of energy, lacks drive. Still feel he makes bad passes and doesnt control well under pressure. Batter attacking than defending. Would be better playing with Hackney. I really want to see him succeed.
 
Didn't Woodgate have designs on Wing playing in this deep lying sweeper role? We were overrun when he played there.
 
He's clearly been asked to play super deep.. almost as another centre half ..
He gets the ball , so we move to a three with either Dijksteel or bangura over loading.
He's trusted that much to retain the ball ( with what we've got right now )
He maybe limited athletically, and destructive defensively.
But he doesn't go hiding in wanting the ball, he keeps possession well , and he pulled the strings on the goal today.
He's better than his pricetag
 
I don’t get the negativity about Barlaser ? There is definitely a good player in there for me.
Carrick was played as a deep lying continuity type midfielder and one who retained the ball really well. He obviously is trying to develop Barlaser into this type of player. This suits the possession based approach we are developing and Barlaser gets to learn from a guy who was very very good at that role.

Maybe also gives us an option to switch to a 3 midfield if we need to. ( Hackney Barlaser O’Brien ) I’d be happy with that

And again. Pretty much what I've said for months. To qualify, he's no Busquets and no Carrick yet, but he's bloody good at what he does for the team.
 
Football cliché #376 - Barlaser is being asked to play the "Quarterback" role in the team. Sit in front of the back 4, spray the ball around and dictate play.

Mixed success imo, as at times the midfield is over run especially as 2 of the "3" aren't renowned for their defensive capabilities.

Being fair to the lad, he's rocketed to the top of the boo boy charts. Sailed past Mcgree, Silvera, McNair, Engel, Jones, Greenwood, Fry.......🙄

Not sure about the quaterback analogy, as he tends more to operate as the hub of the wheel, playing shorter stuff so we retain possession until a gap opens up. He's particularly good at playing those incisive 15 to 20m passes that cut through the midfield and set up an attack (ie the ones that sent Silvera away v Preston). Carrick was a bit more quaterback like, in as much as he routinely played accurate long balls over the top.
