Long Eaton Fox Posted 1 September 2022 Share Posted 1 September 2022 Barnes is a supremely talented player but seems lacking in confidence. He had great stats last year to back that up. His problem now is Vardy is not the player he was and their is no threat from the right. All the opposition has to do is crowd him out because he's the only threat from this team. Maddison is being played out of position which doesn't help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And still probably our only attacking threat during the whole game tonight. Madness some of the criticism Barnes gets on here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 1 September 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 1 September 2022 He's always been a confidence man. You know within the first 15-20 if he's gonna have a good game or not. Probably had any semblance of self belief and adventure beaten out of him by our R2-D2 sized shitbag of a manager. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingkisnorbo Posted 1 September 2022 Share Posted 1 September 2022 (edited) His greatest problem is and will always be his lack of intelligence/awareness as a footballer. Unfortunately I don’t think it can be taught. You either have it or you don’t. A fantastic talent with one gaping hole in his game.

I'd guarantee if you watched tonights game, but all the players were blacked out and you had no idea of the teams and you were asked to appraise the player out on the left and you'd say today they were dog shite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxile5 Posted 1 September 2022 Share Posted 1 September 2022 He just looked miserable and bereft today. Hopefully he'll be bouyed by the manager digging him out post match saying there was no quality on the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom12345 Posted 2 September 2022 Share Posted 2 September 2022 I think it is time for him to play central in a front two with Vardy or Nacho. His is now too easy to guard on the left; too one dimensional. The same problem really with Vardy. All our front players are too isolated. I am not sure why Rodgers insists on isolation strategies. Unless they are Ronaldo or Messi, we can’t rely too much on moments of individual brilliance, which is what we have been like the past 18-24 months. Vardy is talented but teams know how to play him now as a lone striker. Why do we insist? Barnes always play isolated on the left. Why? Everytime Nachos comes on, his ability to play linkup instantly lifts our attacking game. It is so obvious. Yet Rodgers just continue to leave him on the bench and use isolation tactics.

funkyrobot Posted 18 September 2022 Share Posted 18 September 2022 Barnes is another player that has been well and truly ‘Rodgered’ - he’s regressed. He loses the ball pretty much every time he goes on a run and never tries to switch it up by moving centrally or swapping wings. Have we ever seen Barnes on the right? Ever? Even for like 5 minutes? I know that’s down to Rodgers but ffs it’s painful to watch such a lack of invention. I just wish even in the rigid role that Rodgers expects that Barnes would look after the ball better, he needs to look at that lad at Atalanta, (Lookman I think he’s called) for tips on how to not concede possession every time he gets the ball.

FLAN Posted 19 September 2022 Share Posted 19 September 2022 Not sure Rodgers has ever asked him to not bother making any effort to track back or apply pressure when defending. if he wasn’t local he’d be getting hammered by fans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetly Posted 19 September 2022 Share Posted 19 September 2022 Watched him give away the ball almost every time he had it Saturday. Very predictable always the same old trick. He could do with some bench time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I like 3/5 ATB but that’s mainly how Rodgers plays that system. With no alternative wide options, playing JJ/Timmy as WB could be a way to become a bit more robust with Ndidi playing as a destroyer with Youri/KDH and Madders behind a front 2?

Besides hardly like our current formation is working is it? It all boils down to binning off Rodgers for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
