Ric Flair Posted 23 January 2023 Posted 23 January 2023 Thst goal at the weekend will kick start him again. He'll get a couple vs Walsall and his usual goal away at Villa. 3

mucfox Posted 23 January 2023 Posted 23 January 2023 maybe someone is interested - Ademola Lookman the new shooting star in Italy - 11 goals in 18 matches
FLAN Posted 23 January 2023 Posted 23 January 2023 I have this feeling his goals mainly tend to come after we’ve taken control of games and mainly against lower level opposition. can’t be bothered to research and prove it so will just continue blindly claiming it obviously Saturday already chucks this theory out the window to some extent
FLAN Posted 23 January 2023 Posted 23 January 2023 Stat from RL programme this evening Barnes 30% success rate for dribbles. In bottom 2% for attacking players in Europe 3 1

Popular Post Stadt Posted 25 January 2023 Popular Post Posted 25 January 2023 We’ve spent close to 5 years without a proper right winger because we’ve failed to replace Mahrez. Ghezzal, Diabate, Under and Perez are/were shit. In Barnes we’ve got a frustrating but highly productive winger even though our attacking play has fallen off a cliff - if you want him replaced you’re not living in the real world. 5
Grebfromgrebland Posted 25 January 2023 Posted 25 January 2023 Let's see how he does when we have form players around him instead of a clapped out vardy, albrighton/Perez/praet in the right and weak defence and useless midfield not to mention a terrifying keeper. Saka is surrounded by players in world class form. We're so predictable it's unreal trying to be a one man attack. 1

He played in one of the best and free scoring teams in the league for two years running, during 19/20 and 20/21, yet never managed double figures... 1
jmono84 Posted 25 January 2023 Posted 25 January 2023 If Barnes could develop his back to goal and close control skills I think he could be one of the top wingers in the league but I’d say his ability to do these things are currently very poor. That’s what frustrates me about him, he gets the ball so often but 8/10 he’ll lose it very cheaply. Work on this and get at least ok at it and he’ll blossom!

He scored 6 goals in 24 starts in 19/20 In 20/21 he scored 9 in 22 starts. He’s not reached double figures because he’s either been injured or hasn’t started enough games. He was on course for 15+ in 20/21 before his injury ended his season. In the Premier league - 130 apps, 99 starts, 96.2 nineties, 29 goals and 24 assists. 2

My point was that the whole "if he played in a better team" or "with better players" isn't a strong argument because he did. Barnes, and some of these players now, did play in a good team.
