Desabafar Posted 26 December 2019 Share Posted 26 December 2019 it's getting cruel now. Apart from one pass he has looked shocking the last few games, would struggle to get in any team of the division or at the top of the championship at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily his fault as the game was not ours really but he was ineffective. We badly need some sort of form from our wingers or a brave move in the market next month.

martyn Posted 26 December 2019 Share Posted 26 December 2019 What is most disappointing is that it looks like he is the sort to retreat into his shell when he is low on confidence. There is a player in there, he showcases nice inter play here and there and he is decent driving forwards with the ball, but his limitations increasingly appear to show he might not be of the level we hoped (namely lack of composure/ability to get head up in final third, too easy to dispossess in tight situations, questionable positioning both whilst attacking and defending, goes into hiding if low on confidence ). He shouldnt be given up on right now because he has shown some promise in fits and starts but its urgent we get at least 1 quality winger signed in January because its our weakest area by a distance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cropstonfox Posted 26 December 2019 Share Posted 26 December 2019 Allbrighton is so much better going forward and covering a weak full back.He is not a long term solution but for half a season he will do a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't have put it better. When the going gets tough, he needs to be able to do the ugly part of the game...Retreating into his shell is exactly what he does.

He cant carry the whole team, he was clearly better, finding Vardy within a few minutes of coming on as well as showing more bite in tussles, but didnt have long before the penalty at which point the entire team collapsed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrington fox Posted 26 December 2019 Share Posted 26 December 2019 He needs a rest, he's low on confidence anyone can see it. Then start him from the bench for a few games. Same with Tieilmans frankly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazfox Posted 26 December 2019 Share Posted 26 December 2019 Another poor performance. With all the will in the world I want him to succeed at this club but he's been below par most of the season. Thought Albrighton played better when he came on. However, if we want to keep compete up at the top of the table we desperately need new wingers in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against top teams like Liverpool and city you have to be better in all areas to just compete with them. they do not make any mistakes but they do pounce on you as soon as you do. That’s a ruthless streak we need to develop. Barnes just looks out of his depth somewhat. Maybe by throwing him into these situations Rogers is actually making him a worse player? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampson Posted 26 December 2019 Share Posted 26 December 2019 Don't think you can defend that performance as "trying too hard" or "lacking confidencs" really. He refused to press or tackle. If you try too hard or lack confidence you generally over-press or go into tackles top enthusiastically. Thought that his attitude stunk today. It was a very lazy performance of someone who just didn't try hard enough. I could forgive him somewhat if he actually did try too hard today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampson Posted 26 December 2019 Share Posted 26 December 2019 Yeah Barnes undoubtedly gets a massive free pass because he's homegrown. Gray would be getting absolutely slaughtered if he'd put in Barnes' performances this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albrighton is better at 1 - Shooting 2 - Crossing 3 - Defending The Albrighton pro's are more suitable for games like Liverpool in my opinion. Liverpool first half we seemed to have a strategy of putting crosses in yet our two best crossers werent on the pitch (fuchs and albrighton).

Constructive criticism is fine but let's not go around calling our homegrown youngsters shite. He's young and developed by the club so naturally he's a scapegoat, along with Chilwell. Clearly the best way for these players to develop is to slate them at every given opportunity. Albrighton and Gray all of a sudden are the answer to our problems. They were all shite tonight, thankfully we have a game in 2 days where if we win all will be okay again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is we’ve seen a lot more of gray than we have Barnes in previous seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
