How is he 3rd when Mendy is coming on instead of him?

Read it again, I said he was 3rd choice (before Tiellemans came here) behind Ndidi and Mendy, now he's 4th, hence no longer on the bench

An absolutely hysterical one.....errr....obviously....zzzzzz

Barnes looks so much better now Chilwell has decided he's not the only player allowed to touch the ball on the left

Worst we have played for a while after the first 30 minutes, but in this case the result is more important than the performance. Still some good points, how good is Harvey Barnes going to be and what a run by Harry Cruyff Maguire what a goal that would have been. Onwards and upwards time for Brendon to work his magic.

Yeah I realised is misread your post so I edited

 

Still think he should be ahead of Mendy

[southfox66]

At least we didn't lose or draw ?

He should be in instead of Mendy considering how well he's played

Maybe, but that's a personal preference rather than reflection of the current squad standings... 

[Ric Flair]

Brighton must be sick of us,the away game last season and both games this season they really should have got a point minimum, arguably a win in them all.

Good win, but very nervy performance. 

 

I feel we miss Iborra tbh, just to have someone there to calm things down.

Good result, average performance.

 

Gray was good, Barnes a revelation. Apart from the second goal Maddison was poor and Vardy a passenger.

 

Plenty for Rodgers to work on.

Something not right with the Vardy Maddison como, yes we scored with it and that's great. But that pairing doesn't have a long term feel about it. Maddison is raw and by the time he ever gets it spot on, Vardy will be finished. It's a slight worry and it's a tricky thing to try and solve. We'll see, perhaps I'm jumping the gun.

Rodgers out

Don't particularly disagree tbh, I'm a big fan of Hamzah, but I just don't think it's a massive surprise that he's dropped back out the squad since YT arrived

Let down again, I’d lumped on for 3 - 1!!!!

Really was a game of two halves. We looked immense first half but struggled in the second half and a better team would have taken a point at least. 

 

Important thing is that we have 3 points. We look so good when we play with pace and play direct.

Barnes is ****ing great. Wish he scored one of his chances.

 

Considering new manager bounce I thought we were lucky to win.

Total opposite to gray, gray is a selfish player who shots when he should pass, Barnes passes when he should shot ? 

 

 Of the two players Barnes has a bright future and could be a player with more experience, just isn’t quite ready, but definitely one for the future.

Hearing all this about madders, I think as lightweight and sloppy his passes were (some) he deserves huge credit for vardys goal 

Madders will come good. I just think he's had the confidence sucked out of him by being told to play that way to be honest. BR will turn him around and I still think he'll be a top player tbh.

I hope he does and think he will, disagree with your point about having confidence sucked out of him though, he was given pretty much a free reign under Puel. But thats my opinion and like you said BR could perhaps turn this around. For me he plays too deep right now.

Aw go on, you cannot blame a man for trying, still getting used to the new phone and for a man nearly 50 it's a real challenge

[turkish14]

If Watford lose away to Liverpool tomorrow, and we beat them on Sunday, it’s then a 2?point gap!!

 

granted other teams may pick up points, but just shows how close it is from 7th to 23th

There was a time in the second half Maddison played an over hit ball to Barnes when Vardy was on his other side in acres for 1 on 1.

 

It really annoyed me.
