Wuaahhhhh...

McClaren harus jauh-jauh membuang ide utk memainkan Hargreaves atau 
malahan Carrick sebagai DM di timnas Inggris.

Bareth Barry lagi on fire, dan bisa bermain jauh lebih bagus dari 
keduanya.

So, mainkan Barry, Macca !


*bener2 badut klo McClaren ga mainkan Barry.


Gareth Barry

Gareth Barry born February 23, 1981 in Hastings, England. He is an 
English footballer as well as the captain of Aston Villa. He is the 
only player to play in both final matches at the old Wembley 
Stadium, once for Aston Villa against Chelsea and for England 
against Germany, both resulting in a 1-0 loss.


[edit] Club career
An ex-England under-18 captain, he joined Aston Villa from Brighton 
and Hove Albion F.C. as a trainee in 1997, and played his first 
match for Villa on May 2, 1998 against Sheffield Wednesday. 
Initially he played as a central defender, on the left-hand side of 
a back three including Gareth Southgate and Ugo Ehiogu.

Barry has played more than 300 times for Aston Villa in all 
competitions. He now regularly plays on the left-hand side of 
midfield, although he is still classed as a defender by most 
sources. He is a fan favourite at Villa and the fans often 
chant, "Barry for England."

Perhaps his most memorable moment was in April 2005 against 
Newcastle United when he swiftly separated the fight between Lee 
Bowyer and Kieron Dyer using his strength and calm manner to pacify 
the volatile Bowyer.

Barry is a very adaptable player capable of playing in both left 
back and left midfield positions, as well as at centre-back - and 
more recently - as a central midfielder. Although he is not an 
orthodox winger, he can deliver deadly pin point crosses with his 
left foot from wide positions and often chips in with goals from 
open play and set pieces as demonstrated in the 2006-07 Premiership 
season.


[edit] International career
Barry made his England under-21 début against the Czech Republic in 
1998. He made 27 starts for the Under-21 side, a joint-record until 
it was eclipsed in 2007 by Scott Carson.

After an injury to Jason Wilcox, he was able to travel to Euro 2000, 
but did not feature in any of the side's games. Barry made his 
England début as a substitute against Ukraine on May 31, 2000. His 
full international début was in the 1-1 draw against France on 
September 2, 2000.

He made further England appearances in matches against South Africa, 
Serbia and Montenegro and Slovakia in 2003.

Barry was recalled to the England squad following a four-year 
international exile on 2nd February 2007. His reward for some 
impressive performances for Aston Villa this season is a chance to 
add to his eight caps. Barry was resigned to never winning another 
cap under previous boss Sven-Göran Eriksson but Steve McClaren 
brought him back for the first time since March 2003.[1] Barry was 
brought on at the beginning of the second half of the friendly match 
against Spain on 7 February 2007 in replacement of Steven Gerrard 
and played left midfield for the majority of the game, moving to 
left-back when Stewart Downing was brought on. England lost 1-0 
thanks to a second half Andres Iniesta goal. On May 25, 2007 Barry 
played for England B in a 3-1 victory over Albania, getting an 
assist for England B's first goal scored by Alan Smith. Barry 
renewed his England international career by coming on as a 
substitute, replacing Michael Carrick in a friendly against Germany, 
at Wembley. As confirmed by John Motson during the BBC Commentary 
for this game, Gareth Barry has now played under 5 different England 
Managers.

As a replacement for the injured Owen Hargreaves, Barry started in 
central midfield for England against Israel on September 8, 2007; 
with two assists and impressive overall play, many people urged 
Steve McClaren to give him more chances in the international set-up.
