Anish Posted 21 December 2019 Share Posted 21 December 2019 Yes he was great for our goal but he's also been sh it defensively and hasn't been offering any help to Chilwell. The reason Mahrez is killing us is because he has acres of space and time, which is why Chilwell needs help from Barnes but Barnes is playing centre midfield! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of you are mad! It'll be Albrighton who makes way for the new signing. Which is nonsensical. Barnes deserves a little leeway because he's young and clearly does have some potential. In fact as frustrating as he is he's contributed a lot this season. Gray and Perez do not have that excuse for their inconsistency (and I'm being kind to Perez there, who is consistently poor) but Albrighton doesn't need an excuse because he's been consistently good for 5 years. Even in cameos this season he's looked better than Perez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the same level of protection as Perez though who's taken every opportunity to have a lie down for a mid game nap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom12345 Posted 21 December 2019 Share Posted 21 December 2019 He should have scored before getting injured. Wasted a great pass from Vardy. Should have been 2-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Oxlong Posted 21 December 2019 Share Posted 21 December 2019 You could drive a herd of wildebeests through the gap between his expected and actual goals but credit to the lad for still getting himself in those goal scoring positions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-fox Posted 21 December 2019 Share Posted 21 December 2019 We always knew that one game the chances that fall to Barnes/ Perez and they miss will cost us. Today at 2-1 Barnes has a tap in and missed. Maybe we still lose but getting back to 2-2 it’s a different last 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played 9 scored 0 for Le Havre in Ligue 2. Barnes is quality and has assisted more than anyone in this team and is finding his feet in his first year of PL football, I'm not sure what people expect from our player to be honest. I will be honest I dont get your post. Are you trying to say we can carry developing players, and why would I care how Mahrez was doing for another team? Also who has said he has no quality or moaned about his assists? Your post smacks of "must defend this guy". As I said before some people seem to get too attached to players. Another posted replied to me saying they been tracking Barnes from a young age, that is fine, but it kind off shows if you following players for several years you can get attached to them. To answer your question I expect him to stick what he is best at, the assists. Edited 21 December 2019 by Chrysalis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got some weird fans who'd rather give a £30m signing time than a kid from the youth team. 2 players whilst different in the skillset and individual contribution, are having a similar effect on the overall performance of the team. Funny I notice the other way round, Perez is been given more negativity whilst Barnes is immune just because we had him in the youth teams. FT seems to definitely prefer younger players. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more directed at those who’d like to sack him off despite how young he is and now much potential he’s shown. Your points were fair. Age shouldnt matter at this level of football. If you have two similar performing players you give the younger one more slack just because hs is younger? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some honesty, but just remember it shouldn't come at the expense of the team. For reference I wish him to do well with us as well. But there is a line where a player's development cannot cross at the expense of the team for me. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not the finished article yet and I'd rather have someone like Barnes in the side who will only get better with experience with the assets he has than have a less able finished article. You're persecution of him is baffling. https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/players/goal_assist 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
