His performance arguably got worse after scoring, if that were even possible.

Agreed problem is in his head he’d done his bit by then

[dylanlegend]

This is a Barnes low on confidence. He’s a great player to have in the team and on form is a game changer. I’m sure we also said these things about Mahrez. If Barnes was more consistent the problem would be he’d be snapped up quick by a richer club. Just to think Everton have Demario Gray that starts week in, week out with 3 goals in 20 games. Barnes has 7 goals in 18 game s

Well i disagree. I think when he is thriving on confidence, he can take just about any defender in the league. He makes some stupid decisions but half the time that's because he feels he has to pass it when actually he wants to run with it. More often than not, that pass isn't on and he shouldn't even be considering it. The bottom line is, BR should be taking exciting players like Barnes and developing them into stars, not destroying them.

 

Starting to wonder what a pass that is on for Barnes would look like.

29 goals in 99 PL starts. Judging him based on our worst run since promotion under a manager abdicating his responsibilities is overly harsh.

 

He’s looked shit at times this season and he’s scored 7 goals, imagine, just for a second, what he can do in a side creating lots of chances and when he’s full of confidence. 
 

He’s a high volume player, so when it doesn’t come off for him it stands out. He’s a huge asset and he’ll flourish when he’s not our only outlet

he really needs to start looking before he passes. 

[FLAN]

Nothing more cringe than the Barnes will tear you apart chant after he has scored yet done **** all all game or for weeks. Embarrassing 

[FLAN]

Watching MOTD. Is it Rodgers Who tells him to shoot when there is a man 1 yard directly in front of him?

Tearing our hair apart with his decision making

[Harpenden Fox]

A player who has been low on confidence and not even played every game, playing in a team that has been pretty poor for most the season, who has 7 goals in 18 games. 
 

There is no doubt he has been poor since the restart, but arguably he is the least of our problems. A reminder that Vards, bless him, has one tap in goal to his name this season.

He will flourush once he gets Brendan out of him.

He plays a lot better when maddison is on the pitch. That move he does when he cuts inside and then plays a one and exploded in behind the opposition defence doesn't work very well without Madders.

 

He tried playing a one-two with vardy towards the start of the game yesterday when it was 2 on 1 against Dunk and Vardy had a terrible first touch and then lost it

I remember that completely differently. His pass to Vardy was terrible! Vardy had to stop his run and go back. It was a selfish pass. He could have put Vards through on goal but instead gave Vards the ball in a way he'd have to give Barnes the ball back. Barnes was looking at the one two for the glory.

Sorry, but that was totally Harvey’s fault, he should be  playing that into Vardy’s path, and he weirdly played it behind him, I could not believe it, however, saying that, he was right place and got a goal

[Eddo]

Barnes is someone you could play a whole game without seeing, in fact I would argue that when he's not on form he's a negative because he isn't even tracking back, the fact some of you are using that goal yesterday as some form of cope for his bad performances is quite shocking.

Yep. The decision making was totally wrong. 

 

A confident Barnes takes that into the box and gets a goal himself, or plays the perfect ball in to Vardy's path to have a first time shot.

Naaa that’s about trying to support a player and give him some confidence 

[hejammy]

This whole thing about Harvey lacking confidence where has it come from? I actually just think he's an unintelligent footballer with one tool in his armour which has been found out. I think he's still over confident if anything. I may be wrong but judging by his passes and decisions over the last few games, it's all about himself. He plays for himself and not the team.

He just lacks confidence, and has still managed to score seven goals this season, which is the ninth highest in the league. He's not got great game intelligence as you can tell by his movement and should work harder to protect his full back but at his best he's fast, direct and can cross and score off both feet, which is pretty rare. In a confident side with a similar threat on the right wing he'd be a different player. 

[Brenfox]

He has one move to go past players & that's to nutmeg them. If they are aware, which most defenders are they block it & the move breaks down.

I would think anyone that knows football would know what he should have done when there’s a 2 on 1

 

Such a simple plat yet he somehow managed to totally screw it up

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Even on the goal he smacked it almost straight into the keeper's body when he had half an empty goal to aim at. Looks so out of sorts.

[Sharpe's Fox]

The most frustrating thing you can witness as a supporter in the ground is watching a player you know is wicked look like complete shit every time he's on the ball. I hope the goal gets his confidence up a bit because he's integral to our side.

Because in previous seasons he’s repeated scored and assisted for team-mates. You won’t find many wingers outside of the big six with his outputs

[Sharpe's Fox]

Dewsbury Hall and Maddison really help Barnes btw. He looked slightly better yesterday I think because they were on the pitch albeit one replaced the other. Shock horror not having your best players makes your other best player look worse.

I remember the move at the game and was completely confused as to what happened as it was lovely play leading up to it. Barnes is clearly being selfish and looking for the 1-2, but even though he must be pi55ed off, i also don't understand why Vardy doesnt go on and play it.
