smudger63 Posted 14 January 2023 Share Posted 14 January 2023 He's wasting his talent at the moment. There is a cracking player in there, but whether it's a lack of confidence, belief or a "I'm on easy street" attitude, there are times every season when he is utterly hopeless, and he is currently in one of those times! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolucklcfc Posted 14 January 2023 Share Posted 14 January 2023 The frustration with barnes is, he lets one bad action in the game effect his whole performance. If he doesn’t beat his man the first time, he plays shit for the entire game. He’s not one of those players that’s going to dig you out of a hole. He’ll play well when the team is playing well but when you need him he’ll hide. That’s why he’ll never be a top top player even though he probably has the potential to be. That said, his finishing is absolutely horrible 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Shire Fox Posted 14 January 2023 Share Posted 14 January 2023 (edited) Spends too much time out on the piss.

Popular Post Tanya Posted 14 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 14 January 2023 He is in terribme form and deserves dropping, maybe coming off the bench to run at weary players. I am a huge fan of Lookman. I wish we had his versalitility. If we did, he could be playing now and Barnes can find his form off the bench. But we didnt invest. Something has turned rotten at the heart of this club. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headcase Posted 14 January 2023 Share Posted 14 January 2023 He needs to be let loose, our style of play side to side, keeps the opposition behind the ball, he needs space behind to run thats his game same as vardy, it no coincidence they are both struggling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankieADZ Posted 14 January 2023 Share Posted 14 January 2023 1 good game out of 10, he needs to have more strings to his bow at times, he cant just go for the 1 2 every time, also needs to remember he has a left foot too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said drop him, mainly because if our pathetic options out wide which I mentioned in a later post. No investment in the team so we are stuck with underperforming players who we have to pick.

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. I'm not sympathetic at all I believe Rodgers time at this club is up. Barnes is going through a period of low confidence and is only in the team as is Albrighton because there no real alternatives, Albrighton is obviously on the wane so it's sensible not to expect so much from him. Barnes on the other hand is 25 and should be approaching his peek as a winger so we should really be expecting better of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCFCJohn Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 Can’t believe the abuse Barnes is getting! Players miss chances, players especially miss chances when their confidence is rock bottom. The first one was a shocker, the second one, I don’t even think it’s that bad. Yes he should score but the technique is right, looks to bend it round the keep and it goes centimetres past the post. Some on here talking like he has missed two open goals from a yard out! The likes of Barnes and Daka would come good in a second with a competent manager in charge, just watch if it ever happens! This is on Rodgers, the tactics, the mentality instilled, constantly undermining the confident of the players. Barnes will move onto better than us when relegation is confirmed and be a success…. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right, his confidence is rock bottom and he will come good with the right manager. However, he has to be dropped for the good of the team at this moment. You say his technique was right for the second half chance- not according to female co commentator on my stream - he hit it with the end of his foot. So again, out of form, low confidence , snatching at chance or lack of concentration caused him to not hit the target. Again great chance missed. As others have said, he doesn’t provide sufficient help to the full back on his side. Drop him for now, and change formation if we really do not have anyone in the club who could do better in his position at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also technique may have been the wrong word form me. More that he had the right idea of bending round the keeper but yes not hit right enough. But points stands that those sort of chances are regularly missed and why goals scored stats are always lower than shots on goal stats! Don’t disagree with the idea of changing the system by benching him. I more wanted to pick up on the hate being spewed by people calling him a crap player and claiming they always knew this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. He is frustratingly out of form, but then so are some other forwards in the league at the moment (Salah has one more goal than him, Son Heung-min has 4, Sterling has 4). But, it appears he has to put away 100% of his chances for us to even stand a chance in a game right now. When you consider Newcastle peppered us and even Forest generated far more chances yesterday, we aren't generating enough right now to help anyone who is low on confidence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisNedry Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 Barnes has always been a hot and cold player. He looked bang at it before the WC and has been poor since, but then you could say that about the whole team. Yes he missed a sitter yesterday but he's not having a bad season really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is the problem and not Barnes fault. No player should be judged on not putting 100% away and be criticised as such. Even players like Haaland and Mbappe don’t. Too much pressure on him with Maddison out the side as it all falls on him. This is the managers fault and the wider club for recruitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maynefox Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 He has no football intelligence. After a failed 1v1. He will never try it again during the match. So frustrating. He has talent, but his lack of intelligence means he will never be a decent PL player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
