Chad Barrett - Missed Opportunities & Actual Finishes

[giancarlino10]

hes so bad....

[aesupafly29]

nearly shit myself when chad barrett was traded to the galaxy, what an awful striker

[Gainryusai]

decent movement but no composure

[giannicasa27]

He does suck..huge.

[schnel127]

@giannicasa27 he's like the f*cked up Wayne Rooney ((:

[giannicasa27]

haha..oh ya!!..the best are his dumbfounded facial expressions when he misses...1:55 is the best b/c the spanish announcer is like wtf?

[rickadlib]

Think about this for a second: If you cut together a bunch of footage of ANY player's misses, it would look like this. Granted, this is a bit of a trend for Barrett, but people are posting comments like this video sums up his game, which it doesn't. His finishes are brilliant (when he finishes) - usually when he doesn't have time to overthink. And he creates so many chances for himself, and for other players. He has the skills. Once he masters his own head, he'll be unstoppable.

[MembrainJ]

Are we talking about the same Chad Barret who put a free header straight into Nolly's arms on Tuesday? His first touch is usually brutal, he does a poor job of holding the ball up and his service into the box is usually straight to the defenders. I was all for being patient with Barret but for the number of quality chances he has had this year compared to the number where he actually finished them is simply not good enough. In anything this video proves he doesn't have the quality.

[Hoppercool]

Chad Barrett unstoppable? What are you smoking dude? I'm willing to bet $9 million that never happens.

As long as my Sounders are smart enough to keep him the hell outta Seattle, I don't care how many goals he misses.

[rickadlib]

@Hoppercool

9 goals so far in 2010 in all competitions. Chad's getting his head right under Coach Preki. And he's still only 24 years old.

[torontosubway]

im a fan of him (because he's in TFC) , but i think he needs to practice on his finishes.

[douchebagosaurus]

hahahaha this video is too funny, this guy is a joke and should be banished from soccer. im amazed he has a job with this video on here

[BEATSINTHEMIND]

Chad Barrett sucks balls!! Hell, watching this vid actually surprised me that he had that many goals. Just a poor ball player overall with little scoring skill and instinct. He could miss a net that was 6 kilometers wide with no keeper!

[alexman24893]

very talented , but neds help in defining, he could do well in europe

[boogynights]

This guy will be sent of if he doing this in international level.

[ricciboy43]

chad is tank for TO

[GoochMcDoober]

this man has no business being a striker

[luisitoakapipiman]

dis foo sucks seriosly hahaha lmfao

i could do better than him

[faststick2021]

:40...the worst miss ever

[polocapt]

never should hav gooten rid of him

[dehpm]

Chad barret is the kind of player you can't trust with a grat ball pass. That's why Cuauhtemc BLanco doesn't have 293234928374982374928374298374­928374 assits to his name.

[hadesrules17]

im not a fan of blanco but yeah ttly

[porkchop18]

wat a terrible buy, he's just like cunningham ffs. We should have signed Joao Pinto when we had the chance.

[nutmegg503]

I like how the one at 226 you cut out the part where he started dribbling from his own 18, dribbled the whole field and then slotted it. I think that there is a fair amount of difficulty in that.

[RosickyFan1]

Did you see the free kick? And you gave him away.

Pwned!!

[pahwraith]

He was actually trying to kick it under the wall, he just missed.

[RosickyFan1]

No I meant the one he scored for TFC.

[pahwraith]

We didn't give him away, the league forced used to give him up.

You know it's crap, the league knows it crap, even Shep Messing knows it was crap and he hardly knows anything since he went to balcony at studio 54 and got a freebie from Truman Capote.

Only in MLS would someone whine that a team signing a player on free transfer requires just compesation. Tell Garber this isn't AYSO. But for the record we didn't give him "away", he was ripped from our fiery bosom. :P

[RosickyFan1]

You don't have to take my every word literally. I meant that you must wish you still have him. Sheesh! Take a chill pill.

[faststick2021]

umm 90 percent of the time it'll be brutal misses.

[latrell6969]

i am so happy we got rid of him. i mean he had his moments, like that goal against dc in last years playoffs, but he missed way to many chances here

now only if coach hamlett would put rolfe at forwards all time instead of have him play midfield....

[tironabardheblu]

(continued...) Alecko Eskandarian + Danny Dichio last season was a great time for TFC. Two great players working together at the same time. Great chemistry.

[tironabardheblu]

Wow...You people do know that in football, there's a lot more misses than actual goals for a player? That's how it is. If it wasn't like that, every game would end 20 - 19 or something. I was at Barrett's first game. He didn't do anything spectacular, but it was his first game. I have faith in him. There's just something about this guy, his style of play. I have confidence he's going to help out TFC a lot. We have to do something about Jeff Cunningham. (continued...)

[pahwraith]

two streamers, a beer cup and a popsicle stick would help TFC right now and it would still be better than Cunningham.

He's your headache now, no please...someone please tell me that he does the "little things", even though strikers are generally paid to do big things...like hit the back of the net.

[brock1857]

ok what the hell. I hoope he does a lot better for TFC. But in all, i think it's a good trade. This guy is only 23 and i'm certain he'll improve. McBride is good but he's just too old. I think it's a sensible trade for TFC.

[totz2]

he doesn't look bad at all from this video, you people dont know your football.

[cheezeboy16]

TFC needs a striker.... and this is what we get?

Maybe he has so many chances at net. that these are his RARE missing ones?

TFC

[lankynathan]

Welcome to TO. Seen all together, the misses are funny in a sad way .. but there are some nice finishes there at the end. Time for a new beginning .. hopefully the TFC midfield can feed him as well as Blanco :-)

[USMCMarine]

EPIC FALE

[everynameistakenomg]

Welcome to Toronto. Hopefully his visit is more like the last quarter of this video :)

[Pearce12321]

but he's shite...

[vincent20077]

GIVE HIM a CHANCE....he is only 23...

[zeelaw]

OMG i dont want this fuck.. tfc

[twistedchinaman]

Help us...

*prays for a miracle that Cunningham 2 is not coming. Oh please merciful Buddha if you still care for me and my Toronto FC supporter bretheren...end this torture*

[Pearce12321]

STAY AWAY FROM TORONTO....PLEASE!

[nutmegg503]

You notice that he creates so many chances for himself though, and others. He definitely has more swedish in him then finish (get it) but his athleticism and strength creates soooooooooo many chances.

[remtone]

he gets so many great services he should be scoring 10 goals a game but with his finishing skills he leaves with 1 every other game

viva la galaxy!

[Doublecard]

hehe, thanks for the giggles climbingtheladder :)

now, who has the most mental farts in MLS? chad barrett... OR,... khano smith??

[Maradona65]

some of barrets goals have a considerable amount of difficulty, but yes, he sucks

[lilbro86]

He made some...in part thanks to some pitiful goalies.

[spectre4210]

Loved the first half.

[stewart05champ]

hahahaha chad barrett is SO BAD. He sucks. I have fire season tix and he is by far the worst player. thanks for the post. Please make another one

[EatonA10]

Is Brian McBride here yet?

[schmittcle12]

What happened to when you showeed the goals from each week?

[rays130226]

that comes to show how much Chad Barrett sucks ass. He is the king of missing wide open goals. His role model is Wayne Rooney. Too bad he can't play like Wayne Rooney. Barrett is a joke.

[Canti1232]

Whats the song?

[climbingtheladder]

Dhany - "U & I"

[selfkiled]

That made me laugh when he misses against Galaxy, man was Blanco pissed!

[BitzBitzBitz]

At times he looks like a defender keeping the ball out of goal

[lazydictionary]

hahaha Very True!

[skittles2590]

is this ivess galarceps video page?

he jus mentioned chad barret and eddie johnsons misses

good video other wise

[climbingtheladder]

I was planning to do it before that, after the abomination that was the Chivas match.

[Zanhoff]

The Fire suck so much ass. . . and they will prove it once again at Toyota park on July 12.

Pucker up you fuckin Wanks.
