foxinsocks Posted 26 January 2023 Posted 26 January 2023 Harvey needs hypnotherapy - to urge him to run into the box and shoot.
NewquayFox Posted 26 January 2023 Posted 26 January 2023 (edited) As Harvey Barnes appears to have lost the dynamics of playing on the wing why doesn’t Rodgers try him & Vardy up top with Vardy on the left of a 2, Castagne & Albrighton as wing backs, might just get the pair of them firing on all cylinders again… Edited 26 January 2023 by NewquayFox Confused a few fussy people… 2

Rodgers has said on numerous occasions he won’t try Barnes through the middle, although believe he did play a bit against Wigan in January 2020. 1
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 26 January 2023 Posted 26 January 2023 (edited) Harvey has been shockingly shite as of late, he always does the same thing, has no variety to his game whatsoever and consequently his decision making is dire. I would actually be tempted to give him a go on the right getting to the byline playing one twos and give someone else the left sided spot who can then do the cutting in routine with more success - wouldn't actually mind seeing Perez given a run out there.

We used to have wingers that would swap wings for 10-20 mins a game and had great success .... confusing for the opposition who would take a minute or two to realise what was happening and another while to get accustomed to it. Rodgers too inflexible to allow it unfortunately. 3
TheLittleBigMan Posted 26 January 2023 Posted 26 January 2023 His numbers are better than last year. Think that was mentioned in the other Harvey Barnes thread. Not sure which one.
StanSP Posted 26 January 2023 Posted 26 January 2023 I hope we don't try him as a 2nd striker with Vardy.
SafewayFox Posted 26 January 2023 Posted 26 January 2023 9 hours ago, Merging Cultures said: Look at our passing maps, we have nothing to the right or middle. Opposition can just close out Barnes. We need a RW and Madders in the middle. A RW will mean the opposition can't just focus on the left, giving Barnes much more space. Also, Madders in the middle behind the CF will give Barnes an outlet. At the moment he gets the ball, moves us up forward and has no one to distribute the ball to. So he just stops and loses the ball. His decision making isn't great at the best of times, but with no outlet for him it's even worse. Let's stretch the pitch more, give him space and someone to pass to, and his form will improve. I couldn’t agree more. However, would that also see KDH drop deeper to offer more legs in the middle of the park? I know KDH seems to be our only player who can press but the amount of games we lose just by having no legs in the middle of the park is criminal. A reason why I think the loss of Youri will be softened slightly but the importance of getting to the bottom of the conundrum that is Ndidi. 2
Lambert09 Posted 30 January 2023 Posted 30 January 2023 (edited) I really wish we could get the barnes of 2 season ago back. I don’t just mean one in form, but the style of play. He used, at least out of respect for the goat, try to get the ball to him whenever it was on. He just doesn’t look to assist anyone at all any more. he’s currently just running and shooting and it’s getting into demarai grey territory. The amount of cut backs he ignores is getting a bit silly. 2 g’s and 4 a’s is better output than 3 g’s!!!! Edited 30 January 2023 by Lambert09 2

He's the kind of guy that seems to thrive off others taking the lime light and he relaxes and follows the lead. He doesn't look too good if relied upon though...
Stadt Posted 2 February 2023 Posted 2 February 2023 (edited) If we play 4231 he'll benefit from closer support in Maddison and Kristiansen. Thinking about it now, he is often quite isolated because the left fullback rarely pushes on and our midfield (sans KDH) rarely get up in support of the forwards. Edited 2 February 2023 by Stadt 1

I think that observation is spot on…. If only to free space…. VK could have a big impact on seeing Harvey become more effective
foxfanazer Posted 4 February 2023 Posted 4 February 2023 Harvey's been getting peltere all season so it's only fair to balance it and say he was really good today. Seemed to have more licence to get at his defender andncreate havoc 1
FLAN Posted 4 February 2023 Posted 4 February 2023 Only saw first half and thought he was fairly anonymous again aside from the assist. It’s his inability to perform absolute basics so often that I can’t accept. 1
Unabomber Posted 4 February 2023 Posted 4 February 2023 Wasn’t great today but I think having Tete will really help him as the pressure will be less

Topman Posted 4 February 2023 Posted 4 February 2023 Think we watched a different game, he was terrible today, was a brilliant cross for the goal but nothing apart from that. Wasteful in possession, just don't know what to do when he gets into important positions 3
Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 4 February 2023 Popular Post Posted 4 February 2023 Just as I thought, with Tete in there and Maddison central that he was seem far more dynamic. It's not even the assist for Iheanacho's goal that impressed me the most, but his strength to get on the ball and turn and run with it to get it through to Praet to score the 4th that we've seen very little of from Barnes in a long while. Said before and will say it again, he's got the ability to take players on but he has to feel like he's got the space to do so. He doesn't like set defences unlike someone like Tete who will relish that challenge to run amok. 6

dannythefox Posted 5 February 2023 Posted 5 February 2023 Another two assists after doing nothing all game his stats are good this season. Strange as he’s been struggling looks like it’s in his head he can’t beat a man
