Barnes coming back

[st albans fox]

he is lacking a little bit of confidence ….. be a bit braver with conviction. Rodgers will instill this in him …… i don't know if has the intelligence to be coached into being a central striker 

[Royston.]

I like how he always tries to go past players and create opportunities for others or himself. 

Should already have a few goals to his name but hopefully he will put that right.

So you're saying we might not win the league?

Sorry to break this to you...but it is mathematically impossible for us to win the league this year. Unless Liverpool have points deducted.

Three years of hurt

never stopped me dreaming

Physically he's developed incredibly well, he's absolutely lightening off the mark and he's swatting away defenders too. 

[Kopfkino]

His direct running at every opportunity is Lloyd Dyer-esque. And Lloyd Dyer is one of our greatest ever players so that bodes well.

Can’t wait for him to bag his first goal, got to come soon, surely!

[coolhandfox]

If he gets one, I can see him getting 4-5 by the end of the season.

I don't think confidence is an issue.  He has come straight into the team and taken his position by the scruff of the neck.  He takes defenders on, he will have a go at goal, he is full of running and he is the one that will most likely try something audacious.  

 

His finishing is the one part of his game that hasn't come off....yet.   I'm sure it will and maybe he is still adjusting to having that split second less in the PL.  

 

He's gonna be a star.

And yet...good though both Barnes and Gray were last night, our front three look a long way off say, Mane, Salah and Firmino.

 

Just saying. 

Might have something to do with the fact that they are all in their prime and cost Liverpool a combined £120M. Just a guess though.

[Stevosevic]

Southgate was there on Tuesday.

 

Maguire and Chilwell will obviously be in the next squad but I wonder if one of the others will be too.

Hope so! I have tickets for the qualifier against Czech Republic, so would be nice to see a few of the Leicester lads. Realistically though would only be Maguire and Chilwell playing.

he finished plenty for WBA

 

 he thinks too much at this level and it is a confidence thing once he gets into good positions - not the confidence to have a go but the belief that he will score - he doesn't go through with the movement convincingly - hence he is snatching at chances or not hitting the ball cleanly ….. i believe that the new manager will deal with this.  we do indeed have quite a player

I'm hoping he finally wins Euro 96 for us.

Think it’s a bit soon for an England call up. Wait until he’s properly settled, scoring and creating here first. 

[Wizerud]

Since coming into the team he's been our best player. Maybe we'll get used to saying that.

Incredible that Southgate probably had at least some interest in up to 5 Leicester players, Maguire, Barnes, Gray, Chilwell & Maddison.

[Haywood_6]

He's been fantastic since he's returned. Just think he needs to have a bit more composure when he get's himself into goal scoring position, seems to be rushing or hesitating a little bit.
