Nolucklcfc Posted 14 January 2023 Share Posted 14 January 2023 Don’t think I can remember us having a player that is so poor in front of goal and has such a weak mentality. Costs us big time this lad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are the only team in the league with only one proper wide player in the squad. The lack of investment in that area is mind boggling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Barnes doesn't play, we have zero attacking threat....Zero. Considering it was Albrighton who put, with a perfect cross the ball on a plate for Barnes to miss an absolute sitter you could well have that the wrong way around. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUHILL Posted 14 January 2023 Share Posted 14 January 2023 Far too one dimensional IMO. Love his story and history with us, and on his day when the opposition suits him, he can be electric. However, he just doesn't have enough alternative qualities to be a top top Premier League player. Gray is similar, and had some amazing performances with us and is with Everton, but more often than not, both are ineffective and even cost you games in front of goal or by dribbling straight into defenders or not passing when they should. Still deserves a new manager to try get more out of him, and there is a chance they will, but I have my doubts and think he has a ceiling of limited ability, which he won't be able to break through. Prove me wrong Barnsy plz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton Fox Posted 14 January 2023 Share Posted 14 January 2023 He’s gone back to his first year in our team where he missed so many chances you would think he was never gonna make it as a player. Looks like he’s gone back to being that player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes - 6 goals this season. Albrighton - 6 goals in 6 seasons. We're literally fielding the worst winger in the league on the right hand side for the best part of a decade. To blame our only attacking threat for the best part of three seasons now, is exactly why we're in this mess. You know Rodgers made Albrighton captain so individuals like you would be sympathetic to the manager right? He's playing you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox92 Posted 14 January 2023 Share Posted 14 January 2023 Misses far too many chances. All this talk of being better under a new manager yet he’s getting chances now. Today’s second half miss was criminal, don’t care who the manager is. But I’m supposed to rate his 6 goals a season or whatever he turns out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowadays he goes missing in games for 85 mins rather than previous 30. He never runs at people either. I've no idea why he's starting and for me he could actually cost Rodgers his job, let alone us points with these chances missed like today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once one thing doesn’t work that it he’s done. Wingers are so important and our options are pathetic. Barnes played in a prime free flowing Rodgers side, he definitely should have been pushing 12-14 league goals. Didn’t even get double figures.
