Ric Flair Posted 28 December 2020 Share Posted 28 December 2020 4 of his last 5 goals have been left footed and all of them class finishes. I read a stat that a third of his goals in senior football have been with his left foot, amazing. Becoming a real danger for us in front of goal. Assists have dried up this season, mainly due to playing a different role but the goals are increasing and long may that continue. Him and Thomas the only bright spark today IMO.

Tielemans63 Posted 28 December 2020 Share Posted 28 December 2020 It's almost as though he wasn't the finished article last season, aged 22. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majaco Posted 28 December 2020 Share Posted 28 December 2020 He has moved up a level. Increasingly, he and Vardy will create space for each other as defenders deal with the twin threat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniFox21 Posted 28 December 2020 Share Posted 28 December 2020 He's really growing into a proper player. Once again so dangerous down the left running at the defence. Linked well with Thomas again too. We just need that partner for JJ down the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lad has obviously worked hard on this in training and deserves huge credit for the improvement. plus, the nation now gets to hear what a proper Leicester accent sounds like (i.e. nothing like Brummie or ‘northern’) in his post-match interviews. He showed at West Brom that he could score but the step up at that age was huge. I think also that after a few misses there may very understandably have been some confidence issues. Goals breed confidence, he now knows he can do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I knew it was only a matter of time until he was scoring more regularly. He was often getting into good positions to shoot or assist even when he wasn't scoring. He's got 8 already and we're a few games from the halfway point yet. Re: the accent thing - MotD is hosted by Lineker, and Dion and Emile are often on the telly, as well. I agree it is probably one of the least 'famous' accents in the country, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koke Posted 29 December 2020 Share Posted 29 December 2020 We all knew when Barnes improved his finishing he'd be unbelievable. Zaha get hyped and get £50m+ price tag on him but Barnes is actually a better player. When he adds 10-15 goals to his dribbling skills, link up play, and movement, he will be amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 29 December 2020 Share Posted 29 December 2020 Beautiful goal today I love the guy. Hes taking one of his 6 or 7 shots a game now. Wait till he starts taling a third of his chances, hes gonna be putting up Ronaldo numbers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SO1 Posted 29 December 2020 Share Posted 29 December 2020 He's going to be good. Really good. His last two goals are total class. Go on Harvey. Go on a run. Maybe we should turn him into Vardy the II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 29 December 2020 Share Posted 29 December 2020 He's starting to relax into the Goal scoring role now which is a sign he is developing and maturing. As he develops more strength and continues to learn he will have a great career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxed Posted 29 December 2020 Share Posted 29 December 2020 He mostly scores to drag us back into the match: Burnley, Braga, Fulham, Utd, Palace. Harvey never quits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniFox21 Posted 29 December 2020 Share Posted 29 December 2020 Has to be in contention for the Euro squad. He's been in unreal form this season. Very few of England's wingers are as direct as Barnes, would offer something different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUHILL Posted 29 December 2020 Share Posted 29 December 2020 Every time he gets the ball, it feels like he can make something happen. So refreshing to see a player always wanting to take a defender on and back himself with his pace and skill. Absolute pleasure to watch him develop and great to see so many pundits and opposing fans speak so highly of him. He is just going to get better and better too Special mention for Luke Thomas too. They seem to bring out the best in each other and hopefully will be a partnership for years to come for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was justifiable. He was (is) a young player from the academy improving every year. His loan spells have shown that he can finish. You get less time in the PL so he has had to adapt and improve again but he has aced every challenge he has faced and is till on an upward trajectory. I can't believe I am saying this because to me it is glaringly obvious but young players coming into the first team need to develop and we need to show patience. It was clear to me that he was always going to be a special player. James Justin is another case in point. Criticised by some early on despite making a leap from League 1 to the PL. Hopefully they feel foolish now but I wouldn't bank on it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps but it is a particular frustration for me when people can't understand the idea of youth development from academy or lower leagues into the first team, especially when the raw talent is quite obvious. That 'smug last sentence' relates to the fact that I keep reading the same things with young players in the early stages of making that step up. In other words, often people don't seem to get it and don't seem to learn. edit - I forgot to thank you for the critique by the way, I didn't realise we were being marked as such, but as ever, your opinion means the world to me.

shailen Posted 29 December 2020 Share Posted 29 December 2020 He's becoming a little like Bale. Blistering pace, strength and starting to find his shooting boots. Excited how far he can go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
