Pace is hugely important for recovery, but positioning is more important for defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what your definition of “force” is, but it must be entirely different to mine if you thought Chilly had attacking force here 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grebfromgrebland Posted 3 March 2022 Share Posted 3 March 2022 He's finding his form again at the right time. If he carries on improving like this he'll go to the world cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quicker than he looks and don't remember him getting done for pace often. Strength is a bigger issue for him and he'll grow in that respect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas, for his age and inexperience, with no time spent in the lower leagues, is very good defensively. We saw how good he was in the Cup final and the fact he's come straight in and played so well, shows how instinctive he is too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Nacho Posted 4 March 2022 Share Posted 4 March 2022 What I loved the most the other night was the assist for the second goal. Using his weak foot to get the ball in. Far too often recently it’s been way too predictable that he will cut in on his right and go for goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc sheff Posted 5 March 2022 Share Posted 5 March 2022 There’s not many things more exciting than to see Harvey Barnes in form, his defending is atrocious though and needs to be looked at 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been striking them well and he made a couple of chances out of nowt but Lookman might be sulking, He`s been in great positions and the ball didn`t come and that JV comes on for 10 minutes and Barnes delivers it on a silver platter. I predict two Barnes assisted Vardy tap ins today and a slightley miffed Kookman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampson Posted 5 March 2022 Share Posted 5 March 2022 Great goal, also looked our only threat in the first half. Think he's had a really poor season overall, but the past 4 games or so he looks like he's finally finding his best form again which is great for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookman looked unhappy a few times when he got into great positions for tap ins but instead Barnes chose to shoot from difficult angles or had his shot blocked. Then Barnes puts it on a platter for Vardy which shows he could obviously deliver that pass. Not sure if there is something going on between Barnes and Lookman but Lookman looked unhappy.

LCCFox96 Posted 5 March 2022 Share Posted 5 March 2022 Barnes coming back to goalscoring form, with Vardy's return and Maddison looking sharp of late too (hopefully not derailed again by injury) is huge for us. Barnes was frighteningly good last season at times. If he can replicate that in the latter months of this year we'll undoubtedly continue to pick up results.

Ric Flair Posted 5 March 2022 Share Posted 5 March 2022 His finishing ability has improved a lot. I suppose there's an element of inevitability in that happening as he got more experienced at this level but you can tell he's worked very hard at it. Too often his shots were too close to the keeper but his goals vs Randers and Leeds show how much he's honed that curling finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reminds me of Coutinho with that sidestep to the right and a curl in the net from just outside the box. Left or Right side of the net must be difficult to defend against when done fast. He's getting it down. Now we just need someone on the right to do the same. Edited 5 March 2022 by SO1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still coming back from that biggish injury and he's got 15 goal contributions in 30 matches, few of those sub appearances or been subbed off. Definitely not at last year's level but that's partly because at the time of his injury he was arguably the in form English player in the country, and virtually unplayable. And we're talking about him playing in a poorly performing team. To have that output when nowhere near his best tells you just how good his best has been. Sounds stupid to say but I hope he never completely loses that erratic side of his game (obviously hope he continues to smooth out the rough edges) . It adds to his unpredictability and makes him that much harder to cope with. Give him the ball enough times and something is guaranteed to happen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and his ability to shoot and cross off his left foot is lethal as well. He's class when in full flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hejammy Posted 5 March 2022 Share Posted 5 March 2022 I still think his decision making needs work. He scored a great goal today but he's become just so greedy with the ball. The one time he decides to play a one two he scores. Plenty of times he should have passed and instead just ran into a wall or had his shot blocked. He needs to really up his mental game.

Very good to see as people are usually quick to slate him for not tracking back aggressively enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
