Lewis's Junior Posted 8 October 2022 Share Posted 8 October 2022 He was rancid today. I get we're so lopsided without a right winger to compliment and spread the play, but he was down blind alleys and making misplaced passes all game. You almost feel like 30 mins is enough with Barnes to realise what sort of game / full back he's up against. May as well sub him at that stage as he never plays his way back in to a game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmono84 Posted 8 October 2022 Share Posted 8 October 2022 The worst thing was when he was in acres of space, where a simple basic touch on his chest would have probably created a great chance for him but his touch knocks it put of play. Phyiscally could be a beast but he’s softy soft soft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox92 Posted 8 October 2022 Share Posted 8 October 2022 (edited) Rubbish. Has been for ages. Inconsistent at best. One good game and people post how good he could be. I’ll be amazed if he ever manages 12+ league goals for us in a top flight season. Edited 8 October 2022 by Fox92 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever Fox Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 I thought he done a little better today. Can anyone tell me why he never switches wings during a game. If only to confuse the opposition and upset their plans and make them think differently. We're not making the best use of his talent and our tactics are stale and completly known by the oppostion before we take the field. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamkhalifa Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 If he has time to think, then I just sit back, and don't expect anything to happen. Just does not have the footballing brain. Sometimes, I wish he would just skew, or miss hit a pass. It might actually find our player. He is best, when it's all instincts. Needs, play however you want kind of role. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 he gets no help with how the prat is setting us up, both our left backs naturally attack down the wing but both are told to go into CM where neither like to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleolly Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 Is he brain dead is it really that hard for him to run down the line beat his man and get a cross into the box or a shot on goal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moore_94 Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 (edited) Looked very dangerous and our biggest threat for the first 25 minutes or so and there was some great interplay with JJ and KDH But then for whatever reason we seemed to stop trying to get the ball down the left or trying to attack that way Then for the 2nd half he was regularly being doubled up on, and had very little to no support from JJ over / under lapping to help get that 2nd player away from him The couple of times where we got the ball out to him quickly he created chances in the 2nd half, including the one Maddison absolutely whiffed Edited 15 October 2022 by moore_94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 He's becoming a luxury player for me. And we can't afford to carry luxury players atm 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisNedry Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 Thought he was our best player today although that's not saying a huge amount. He didn't hide, made some decent runs and was involved in our rare moments of attacking quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangecity23 Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 It would be nice to see Barnes start for us in a lineup which had a pacy winger on the right as well, instead of this lopsided mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely don’t think he’s ever set foot on the right side of the pitch when attacking. I don’t know any other team that are so static with the positional play of their attacking wide players. Makes it easy for the opposition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 I wouldn’t say he’s a luxury player, but the rest of our squad is so doggo and we have no genuine right sided equivalent, that the easy option for the opposing teams is to close his space down as they don’t have to worry about someone taking them on down the right..

Kierzz Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 What's happened to albrighton?? We are so unbalanced in midfield. Play Barnes of the left and albrighton on the right Otherwise teams press our left hand side and then go one on one on castagne on the right who provides the width as maddison drifts in. It's so easy to defend against. You score goals by stretching a defence side to side....but we don't do that... Man city are masters at having attacking threats on both wide lines and through the middle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
