GingerrrFox Posted 21 September 2018 Share Posted 21 September 2018 He’ll get recalled in January. Would love to see a 3-4-2-1 with Maddison and Barnes behind Vardy. That formation won’t happen anytime soon, but he will still get recalled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting because you jumped on a comment I made about Maddison, whom I wasn't criticizing but more saying he's our brightest spark and yet we weren't getting him the ball enough. He's come from the Championship and Barnes will end this season with similar goals and assists to Maddison but you're dismissing Barnes until he's proven himself in the PL? Now, caution is wise with any young players but you've taken a derogatory tone with Barnes because some fans are hyping him up and are proud we've a talent coming through. You'd argue with a dead badger you would mate. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comment made by you. 'Maddison, our shining light is spending large parts of the game unable to get the ball as we persist in fannying about with it and we've a penchent for going striker less' - I felt a sense of sarcasm in your 'shining light quote tbh' due to the fact you are mostly negative as a whole. if not well ok. fairpoint. I didnt take a derogatory tone from excited fan comments (maybe a little) . I just felt that he needs to prove himself in the PL before getting overly excited about him. Im just being honest and ofcourse i want him to succeed and be proud like Chilwell getting his England debut but we have gone through so many let down scenarios in football and i prefer to keep a 'prove me wrong' approach to it all.

Fair play in your positivity, as the weeks gone on and the anger of Saturday subsides I can appreciate the future might not be as bleak as I've painted it. 3 points tomorrow and we'll be back on the right path. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way we are going with youth, depending if we are in a safe position by new year, I would like to see this team progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd argue with a dead badger you would mate. We may have the same problem with Barnes. Barnes is in a top Championship team. West Brom have problems but they can and do get the ball to their attack. And when they do Barnes is electric. Were he in a team where he's starved of the ball he will look lazy and ineffective. It'll only be worthwhile recalling Barnes when we can both defend well and use the full backs to create plenty of chances. Barnes, if he keeps progressing, will be a real talent but if we put him upfield and expect him to magic chances out of his arse the boo boys will be back in force. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post gurru991 Posted 21 September 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 21 September 2018 Not sure why it pisses me off so much but I'm upset at Puel making comments to the press about Barnes being recalled in January. I feel that his recall should be between Barnes, LCFC & W Brom only. The West Brom fans will be pissed and Barnes is under pressure from the local press about it. I am not a Puel Out guy but i think this is poor form. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to evolve as a team to get players like him and Maddison on the ball. Currently our full backs and centre halves have the majority of the ball, to get the number 10 in space requires causing the opposition to be stretched. We are allowing the opposition as it stands to set themselves and push us out wide and I'm hoping as Maddison grows in to the step up to this level that a better understanding is formed. I've little doubt that both of them will make it at this level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Pearson, Ranieri or Shakespeare had made the comment? I fear Puel won't last because a large number of fans have decided long ago they don't like him and that won't change and everything else will be set aside. Minds are made up. Nothing else can or will ever matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I reiterate, I am not in the Puel Out club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that opinion but then I remember last season when he came in and Barnes was doing the business at Barnsley and we badly wanted to know what Puel's views were on him. So in some ways it's great to hear that Puel is keeping a close eye on him and that if he continues to do well then he'll have no hesitation to bring him back. The only negative to that is if Barnes comes back and isn't used which is a waste or if it annoys him that he's to be called back whilst he's on the cusp of a great season. This is man management and good managers know what's best, is that Puel? Who knows. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are doing well then we don’t need him. As long as he continues to excel in a decent West Brom side then he should be left to see out the season there - he could easily get into the championship team of the season which would be great for both his profile and confidence.

Fox92 Posted 21 September 2018 Share Posted 21 September 2018 He'd play a couple of times for us and deemed "oh he doesn't look ready yet" just like he was last season. Let him see the season out at WBA, they'll finish top 6 so that in itself should be a good experience for him. I'm excited about his potential though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the debate on Claudio/Pearson with who won us the league, have got it wrong. It was actually Holloway genius that took us down that resulted in us wining the premier league.

lcfc sheff Posted 21 September 2018 Share Posted 21 September 2018 (edited) Always maintained he was good - thought he'd be having an impact for us this season if we hadn't signed Maddison. However, seems to have worked out perfectly for us and would love for him to complete his loan at West Brom and break into the England U21s!
