How did Barnes do?

[MPH]

at a family party... not had a chance to find out... how did Barnes do when he came on?

[urban.spaceman]

Scored a hatrick mate. 

[mozartfox]

Looked fine. Some nice touches and movement.  In a word 'encouraging'.

[whoareyaaa]

Looks very promising, can see him being a regular starter in the not to distant future.

 

Raw talent still early days but he done well.

[PoshhFox]

A plus to have him back in the squad for sure.

[Fox92]

At least he wanted to go forward.

saw the score you donut

 

 

[lgfualol]

Looked lively. Sometimes was ignored by other players though, particularly Chilwell who decided to lose the ball instead.

 

I'd throw him in the team straight the way. Cant do worse than anyone else.

[Buzzell]

He’s a great option for us. Hope he gets more game time because you can tell he’s hungry and determined to impress.

[SuperMike]

I really worry about Harvey coming back. He is such a superb player with flair, imagination, enthusiasm, skill, attacking intent and even goals. Did you see Jeff Stellings' video of his WBA goals? Absolutely stunning - all of the oooohs and aaaahs from the panel.

But I remember seeing a very, very similiar collection of highlights from a young man of equal promise - a certain James Maddison.

But he has had all that drive and enthusiasm and freedom sucked out by this dour and boring regime; and is now only a shadow of the player we signed.

Such a shame - two of the most promising young players in the game being ruined by Puelball.

[HankMarvin]

We have some very talented players

Shame about the manager

[Sir Shep]

He was pants and I’m personally driving him back to West Bromwich for being a useless lazy Puel esq type, the bastard!

[StevieB]

Looks very promising, always looking like he wanted to get forward. Puel will soon sort that out, just look at the state of Maddison at the moment

Thought that was weird how Chilwell seemed to refuse to give him the ball.

Chilwell must've spent about 10 actual minutes holding onto the ball too long. Horrific.

He took up some good positions and Chilwell just ignored him so he could play aa blind cross into the box. He ended up going inside to get the ball. He did ok and tried to go forward at least

Noted this too, few times he was in plenty of space and we opted to cut in instead.

[Patrick]

For considering he only returned to the club yesterday, he did brilliantly. Massive talent. I hope we're all patient with him and don't start demanding the earth of the lad straight away.

[dooflip]

I was happy to see him come on. He did pretty well. Took up some very good positions, had some nice touches.

 

not the finished article by any means, but definitely worth a place in the match squad - id have probably given him a shot from the start today. But instead the clueless Frenchman went with 3 defensive midfielders against an injury laden relegation threatened Southampton.

What do you expect when his mates Maddison and Gray are on the pitch? 

 

 

[lcfcell]

Maguire and Chilwell did their best not to give him the ball, apart from that he was solid, he’ll be fine

Harvey's only had 45mins and he's ruined already 

[StanSP]

Steady and promising. 

Had space to run in to and be exploited but didn't get the ball quick enough. Tried to take on players which is good and had one shot well blocked by their defender. 

 

Don't see the harm in starting him or giving him more time on the pitch next week.

Thought as much myself. 

 

Here's hoping Bournemouth come back with a £25m for Gray like they did a couple of windows ago.

[DennisNedry]

I felt sorry for him really.

 

Imagine being ripped away from a club playing exciting high scoring football, playing with players you know, and at a club that's on the up at the minute.

 

And being plonked in a situation where you're 0-2 down, playing against a Soton brick wall in a hostile environment where you hardly know the players and every misplaced shot/pass is met with groans.
