FLAN Posted 23 January 2023 Share Posted 23 January 2023 I have this feeling his goals mainly tend to come after we’ve taken control of games and mainly against lower level opposition. can’t be bothered to research and prove it so will just continue blindly claiming it obviously Saturday already chucks this theory out the window to some extent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stadt Posted 25 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 25 January 2023 We’ve spent close to 5 years without a proper right winger because we’ve failed to replace Mahrez. Ghezzal, Diabate, Under and Perez are/were shit. In Barnes we’ve got a frustrating but highly productive winger even though our attacking play has fallen off a cliff - if you want him replaced you’re not living in the real world. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grebfromgrebland Posted 25 January 2023 Share Posted 25 January 2023 Let's see how he does when we have form players around him instead of a clapped out vardy, albrighton/Perez/praet in the right and weak defence and useless midfield not to mention a terrifying keeper. Saka is surrounded by players in world class form. We're so predictable it's unreal trying to be a one man attack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmono84 Posted 25 January 2023 Share Posted 25 January 2023 If Barnes could develop his back to goal and close control skills I think he could be one of the top wingers in the league but I’d say his ability to do these things are currently very poor. That’s what frustrates me about him, he gets the ball so often but 8/10 he’ll lose it very cheaply. Work on this and get at least ok at it and he’ll blossom!

He scored 6 goals in 24 starts in 19/20 In 20/21 he scored 9 in 22 starts. He’s not reached double figures because he’s either been injured or hasn’t started enough games. He was on course for 15+ in 20/21 before his injury ended his season. In the Premier league - 130 apps, 99 starts, 96.2 nineties, 29 goals and 24 assists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Premier league - 130 apps, 99 starts, 96.2 nineties, 29 goals and 24 assists. 9 in 25 (22 starts) is not too bad but 6 in 24 is appauling. My point was that the whole "if he played in a better team" or "with better players" isn't a strong argument because he did. Barnes, and some of these players now, did play in a good team.

He can't dribble and doesn't defend and yet people insist he is a winger. What he does is score goals , he is a striker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issue is his total lack of effort wouldn’t help us in pressing from the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
