# Joey Barton blows his big chance after blowing his own trumpet as Newcastle
|
|
United frustrate Manchester United
|
|
|
|
## Joey Barton's bold proclamation that he is the best Englishman plying his
|
|
trade in the midfield trenches might not have stood up to scrutiny in front of
|
|
the television cameras but he certainly did his reputation no harm against
|
|
Manchester United.

|
The controversial [**Newcastle**][4] midfielder - unfairly snubbed by his
|
|
fellow professionals when it came to voting for the PFA team of the year
|
|
according to manager Alan Pardew - won fulsome praise from Sky Sports pundits
|
|
Dwight Yorke and Jamie Redknapp for his string of high-calibre precision
|
|
crosses.
|
|
|
|
Like many of Barton's crosses, they were spot on because had Alan Shearer
|
|
still been spearheading the Newcastle attack rather than a half-fit Shola
|
|
Ameobi or Peter Lovenkrands then the Tyneside club might have profited from
|
|
Barton's ability to ping in crosses from all angles on the right wing.
|
|
|
|
Despite being faced by one of the best left-backs currently gracing the
|
|
Premier League in Patrice Evra, Barton repeatedly engineered himself space to
|
|
keep [**Manchester United**][5] centre-halves Nemanja Vidic and Chris Smalling
|
|
on their toes while Newcastle spent much of the first half on the front foot.
|
|
|
|
When it came to work-rate, Barton barely stopped during a busy shift up and
|
|
down Newcastle's right flank with Ryan Giggs and even Wayne Rooney dropping
|
|
deep and doing their best to limit his influence and the result was that the
|
|
supply lines dried up in front of the Gallowgate.
|
|
|
|
It would, though, have been a totally different story had Barton, Newcastle's
|
|
stand-in skipper with Kevin Nolan suspended, had his finishing been as
|
|
effective as his crossing early on.

|
However, when he had an early chance to underline his assertion that he
|
|
deserves an England place and in the process undermine United's pursuit of the
|
|
title he blew it.
|
|
|
|
Barton, a former Manchester City employee, could have rubbed salt into United
|
|
wounds following the FA Cup semi-final defeat by his old club in the frenetic
|
|
opening exchanges.
|
|
|
|
But he failed to make the most of an early goal-scoring opportunity by
|
|
scuffing his shot from close range.
|
|
|
|
He also flattered to deceive when it came to a couple of favourably positioned
|
|
free-kicks that were easily gathered by Edwin van der Sar.
|
|
|
|
There is a good chance that Barton will be named Newcastle's player of the
|
|
year at the end of this season and that is when the problems could start for
|
|
Pardew.
|
|
|
|
He will have one year left on his current deal and with talks having reached
|
|
an impasse between the player's agent, Willie McKay and the club, to avoid him
|
|
walking away as a free agent Newcastle may end up cashing in on a player who
|
|
might not been as good as the likes of Steven Gerrard no matter what he thinks
|
|
but could still prosper for a club in the upper echelons of the Premier
|
|
League.
