Ric Flair Posted 18 September 2021 Share Posted 18 September 2021 I sensed it after Man City that he was getting the first sprigs of form back and on Thursday an assist and goal both off his left foot. I'd not swap him on to the right because teams genuinely don't know what to do with him, let him cut in is always a no no but then he's now scoring a lot of his goals on his left so that's a nightmare for teams to deal with. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defender put him on to his weaker foot and he finished with it. Perhaps there is a possibility of him starting on the right and Lookman on the left. He can take defenders on the outside or the inside. ...he did not take Walker out on the outside and became easier to read!!! You feel Barnes is at the position when he first came into the team, unsure of himself lacking confidence. He will soon explode and when he starts to use finesse instead of power in his shooting you will know he is on top of his game. All down to composure and it is lacking at the moment.

Kierzz Posted 18 September 2021 Share Posted 18 September 2021 Looks like he's starting to find his form again. He doesn't get the credit he's due when he's on form - really is a top top player and his injury is probably why we didn't finish top 4. He can carry the ball with such pace, he's so direct and when on form is a good finisher. Defenders can't deal with an in form Barnes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, not may players do, Walker is probably one of the quickest Fullbacks in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyrobot Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 Another absolute shocker today. Should’ve scored when he missed the near post, was bullied by their full back, lost the ball most of the time and again no cohesion with Bertrand. We need the old Barnsey back.

TrickyTrev Benjamin Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 He’s one of our own though !!! Why he gets a free pass. He literally can’t take a man on or cross a ball. Championship player. Him and hamza. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tielemans63 Posted 3 October 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 3 October 2021 I thought he was our worst performer today and that's going some. He's too good not to sort it though. He is streaky though isn't he? 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian W LCFC Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 Gave the ball away a stupid amount of times today. I love him but he's been pretty shocking all season and probably needs dropping. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roblcfc84 Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 One of those players that can be unplayable when he’s in the mood. When he’s not he’s pretty poor. Should have come off today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFS Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 Doesn’t look fit at all. If rumours are true he’s been seen on the piss regularly he needs to sort his shit out else it’s another ‘could have been’ situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love him but he's been pretty shocking all season and probably needs dropping. He has always given the ball away a lot, usually makes up for it with direct running. He’s not even a particularly good dribbler, just runs in a straight line at the goal and panics defenders. Just nothing working for him at the moment, he isn’t the only one… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 He's been awful of late. Now I can accept his attacking flair might not be on song. But the way he loses possession and then barely tries to win it back is unacceptable. He needs to work a lot bloody harder for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 Awful display today again. Maybe we should try Lookman on that side and Perez / Albrighton on the other because he’s been poor since the Napoli game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there is Iheanacho in the first half was excellent. So was Lookman. Barnes was turd. I’m not defending any player simply because he’s ‘one of our own’ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
