Barnes will be behind Foden, Grealish, Maddison, Saka, Rashford etc, it’s just the way Southgate runs his ship. He’s not as technically gifted as the likes of Grealish and Foden. He was never getting in. I’m surprised Maddison has been called up, given he’s not available until the Wales game. Barnes is better than Richarlson, I have watched enough PL to know it. Come he is. One is an arsehole the other gets on with the job and does it better. I would never swap Barnes man for that Edited 25 November 2022 by foxes_rule1978 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Posted 25 November 2022 Share Posted 25 November 2022 Richarlison averages 1 goal every 4 Premier League games. Barnes averages 1 goal every 5 Premier League games. Barnes has never hit double figures in Premier League goals (yet). Whereas Richarlison has on three occasions. Different types of player but not a lot in it. Richarlison is a tool though on the pitch. He’s got that edge to him that makes opposition fans hate him and his own fans love him. I could see him being more of a 9 than a wide man. He’ll never be that for Spurs though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Posted 25 November 2022 Share Posted 25 November 2022 Or look at it this way. Barnes - 125 PL games, 52 goals / assist. So averages 0.416 per game. Richarlison - 183 PL games, 69 goals / assists So averages 0.377 per game. Not a lot in it. However, strip out the numbers where Richarlison is playing one the right wing / right midfield and his numbers improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if there's any metric where Barnes comes out better on goals/assists that's not reflecting well on Richarlison. Anyway, very different players so not sure why they're being compared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just responding to the comparison. I’ve always said, Barnes is more like a modern day Robben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's only the fact we have Barnes and Maddison who can score from half-chances which keeps me going rn. Also moved ahead of Matt Elliott on our all-time top PL goalscorers list: Premier League Player Stats - Goals 1. Jamie Vardy 133 2. Riyad Mahrez 39 3. James Maddison 35 =4. Emile Heskey 33 =4. Muzzy Izzet 33 6. Tony Cottee 27 7. Kelechi Iheanacho 25 8. Harvey Barnes 23 9. Matt Elliott 22 =10. Leonardo Ulloa 18 =10. Youri Tielemans 18 =10. Ian Marshall 18 What a stat for Matt Elliott though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You normally know after 10 mins, which your getting. For me his shortcomings are quite obvious. So if you can coach those out of him i.e. have a look up fella. There is a huge potential to improve. However I'm surprised the flat tire Barnes still repeats the same obvious errors. So either he's not listening to the coach or they're not saying the right things. ...the coaches probably do not see it!!! They are not a good bunch, Knudsen will be a godsend to us. Take Barnes on in a foot race and if you match him he is lost what to do. Show him down the line, he may win a corner, but how proficient are we in those situations. When he plays along side Nacho, they play a one two, which gets Barnes in, you get the impression he would rather play alongside Nacho because he is not hindered by a pacy Fullback and someone who does not allow him to come inside. Barnes is pretty much a wide forward, I would like to see him play centrally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLAN Posted 24 December 2022 Share Posted 24 December 2022 I’m giving no opinion on how good he is, but he’s the player who annoys me more than any other in the team with his lack of intelligence and often effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
