StanSP Posted 10 March 2020 Share Posted 10 March 2020 Where's the twat that was slating him calling him average and pretty much saying he'd allude to nothing earlier in the season despite having good performances and clearly having promise? Or do his goals not count yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really looking forward to him climbing up that ranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 10 March 2020 Share Posted 10 March 2020 I’m going to lick his arsehole. When he plays like that he is supreme. None of this pissing around, with step overs flip flaps and orang-utan testicle flick, he gets his head down, pegs it and causes defenders all kinds of problems. He is such a strong runner too, skips challenges like no tomorrow. If he can really get his finishing nailed he could be incredible, I’d take a player with his running power over someone who stands there doing stopovers and flicks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally this, there’s a huge lack of direct wingers. Pace is a skill that can’t be matched if an opposition player doesn’t have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 10 March 2020 Share Posted 10 March 2020 So chuffed for him. He looked so dangerous last night (obviously helped by the fact Guilbert is an abysmal footballer). 7 goals and 6 assists this season. Fabulous return. Hope he can get those numbers to ten a piece by the end of the season. They're Mahrez numbers and will surely put him in the England team. It's so good to see how he's progressed. Been ages since i've seen a player come on like this in such a small amount of time. Probably not since Vardy towards the end of the great escape season. Every game he plays he seems to look more dangerous than the last. His touch and composure is just getting better and better, if he can continue adding that to his superb physicality then it won't be long until he's looked at as being one of the best wingers in the country. SO pleased he's ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely argue that Mane and Salah are strikers. Son too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holyfox Posted 10 March 2020 Share Posted 10 March 2020 Apologies if it’s been said before, but he reminds me of Peter Barnes from the early 80’s. His direct attacking style is so similar. So much so that I had to check that it wasn’t his dad!😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDLeicester Posted 10 March 2020 Share Posted 10 March 2020 So glad he is finally finding the end product and proving why Brendan has stuck with him all season long. I also cannot wait for summer to come round and so we can watch the media try to claim that Barnes is a lifelong Arsenal fan who has always dreamed of playing under Mikel Arteta.

tetly Posted 10 March 2020 Share Posted 10 March 2020 Have to say before Christmas I was worried he wouldn’t make it here. He seemed to be low on confidence. But the last couple of months he is playing superb I was to quick to judge. Barnes is gonna be a top player for club and country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was amazing last night, absolutely amazing. Pace and power can take you further than flicks and tricks. Absolutey disagree. There's always ways to nullify a speed merchant, the easiest being defending deep, which effectively takes them out of the game. The ability to take on your defender is what separates average/good wingers from the great ones. You'd have to double up on them which frees space for the other forwards. The last thing I'd want to see is Barnes becoming a one trick pony and relying only on pace to get past his opponent. Not to mention that speed will only last so long.

Foxxed Posted 11 March 2020 Share Posted 11 March 2020 Why’s there (was there ) beef with him and Chilwell? Come on, someone come out with it. We could integrate it into a chant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxxed Posted 11 March 2020 Share Posted 11 March 2020 (edited) jaylcfc94's post history: signs ups, sees tom12345 claim Barnes didn't play so badly (but Chilwell did), then spends the rest of his posts attacking Barnes, taking a small time out to defend Maddision. He's moved on Praet now (I'm secretly not a huge fan either but he's done well). Edited 11 March 2020 by Foxxed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is so dynamic and so little is known about him relative to Rashford etc I think he’d spring many a surprise in the summer.

You only have to listen to Roy Keane talk, he says time and time again he didn't like some of his teammates but when they played it was for the team. People too quick to jump to "he doesn't like him" or "this happened". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
