This was the match that broke Barney's spirit. He played his best match ever and got totally thrashed. Van Gerwen was absolutely unbeatable that day.

I think so too. He hasn't been the same since.

Mvg or anyone is nowhere near that level now. This version of Barney would win world championship or other majors in 2022, I think that’s why Barney came back. He knows standard at the top has slipped and there’s still potential for him to succeed

@noelatcheson4174 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, very good point. Barney probably would have beaten anyone else in the world with that performance but couldn't get near van Gerwen. It did seem to affect his confidence after this match.

@tashadams8794 2 жыл бұрын

One of the best matches of all time… players struggles to keep a 106 average over 15 legs in a pro tour final. I believe mvg would destroy anyone in this form

MVG in his prime here for sure. 2016 season was insane. His average was well over a 100 (sometimes well above) I think in nearly all televised tournaments.

@noelatcheson4174 2 ай бұрын

@Donalob I feel this MvG was the best darts player ever. The standard around this time was incredible with Taylor and RvB still playing a top level, Anderson reaching his peak and players like Lewis still at the top of their game. And MvG was THE standard of this era. It will be difficult to match the time of around 2014-2018 for sheer consistency of that quality.

@Donalob 2 ай бұрын

@@noelatcheson4174Agreed completely. The highest ceiling in darts I've seen ever was this year from MVG. You could count on 1 hand the times he'd miss the 20 in this match, or wouldn't at least score a tonne. Amazing vertical accuracy which I think is what's missing from his game today.

Most likely, this has been the most perfect revenge ever. The year before, MvG lost even though the averages were 105 vs. 100 in his favor. Barney actually played much better in this game (average over 109) and still got totally demolished. Unbelieavable.

2016-2017 MVG played the highest level of darts ever achieved by a human being. Not one of the current top players is able to copy that level over a timespan of 2 years, winning like 90 percent of all tournaments. Not even MVG himself will ever be able to achieve that level again I'm afraid.

Although he lost the first 3 legs on the spin, never write MvG off! I’ve seen him lose 6 legs on the bounce then win the next 8! I generally don’t know if he takes time to “settle” in to the match or plays minds games by purposely losing (at his own peril) the first few legs because he’s supremely confident of winning the match. Irrespective of the above, this was an incredibly exciting game!!

This was the game that started the downfall for Barney, cuz you don't play a 8 set game of darts averaging 109 without feeling the gut punch of a demolishing loss. This was Van Gerwen at his peak, hell with the 123.4 average, he performed exquisitely to win in the fashion he did
