rico Posted 17 January 2021 Share Posted 17 January 2021 I got 80/1 on him to be top goal scorer at beginning season, a bit ambitious but you never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koke Posted 17 January 2021 Share Posted 17 January 2021 I remember when he came back from WBA he couldn't score for love nor money. Remember his terrible miss against Chelsea at home, its 2-2 in the dying minutes and he gets a pass on a plate but completely misses the target. He has improved a lot since. Hos link up play and dribbling was always good, and now he's added good finishing to his game. People say Vardy will be our biggest miss if he gets injured but Barnes is up there as well I can't see Perez or Albrighton putting up the numbers Barnes is. He would be a huge miss if he got inured.

If he squares that ball for Vardy, perceptions would have altered rapidly. Yeah but he didn't.... squaring to Vardy would have been so much more important to the team than skinning two players on the wing. He deserves criticism for that selfishness, it easily could have cost us the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc sheff Posted 17 January 2021 Share Posted 17 January 2021 A really good sign is we seem to create him a lot of chances - doesn’t always score them but sooner especially with the form he’s in he could well score a hattrick. I’d be over the moon if he could contribute to 20 goals altogether this season and that sounds a reasonable target with the games remaining. Keep it up lad!

Vardy's fluffed chances could easily have been a bigger factor in that. And wherever else we would have failed defensively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighPeakFox Posted 17 January 2021 Share Posted 17 January 2021 Anyway, I really like Harvey Barnes - I'll do my bit to get this thread back on topic. It's a shame he fluffed that volley with his left too, decent contact or cut back and that's a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoareyaaa Posted 17 January 2021 Share Posted 17 January 2021 (edited) We should keep hold off Barnes like we have Vardy if we need to sell players to keep developing then Barnes should be on a blacklist he will be vital in the future don't sell at any cost Luckily he is a Leicester fan Edited 17 January 2021 by whoareyaaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazly Posted 19 January 2021 Share Posted 19 January 2021 Reported today in an article about how HB has come on - All very true! Banes is doing more damaging and dangerous runs into the box these days. Quote These are exciting times, then, with Rodgers convinced that the best is still to come. 'He is making more runs into the box,' noted the Leicester boss. 'When I first came, he was outside the box a lot, where you're rarely going to score. 'Now he makes runs to the near post, far post, middle of the goal. Now it's about maintaining that hunger to score. His numbers are improving all the time and I suspect that will continue.'

Ric Flair Posted 19 January 2021 Share Posted 19 January 2021 Been concerned he's not getting many assists this season and then he goes and pops up with that sublime scuffer today for Ndidi. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderHiryu Posted 19 January 2021 Share Posted 19 January 2021 Still thought he was good again tonight. Carries the ball so well, but also skinned Rheese James (who is a good player) multiple times. The job he does for the team is underrated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 24 January 2021 Share Posted 24 January 2021 If Perez is going to be the centre forward then Barnes needs to be pushed up high to get behind the defence when Perez drops deep. It could be lethal with Ünder too but Albrighton cannot be dropped right now. We need to be a bit more direct and pure shithouse vs Everton so I'd play both Iheanacho and Perez but in the coming weeks Barnes needs to almost be the most advanced forward.

Fox85 Posted 24 January 2021 Share Posted 24 January 2021 2 things Barnes needs to work on next. Meet the ball and don't wait for the ball I see this every game he waits for the ball and it gets taken from him. 2nd pass earlier or infact just pass he doesn't need to shoot every time. Barnes is having a fantastic season and clearly still learning his trade. I think he is going to be one of the top wingers in the premier league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today he had the ball and drew in several players because they know how dangerous he is at the minute, games like this he needs to pass early and get into a good scoring position. He did link up well with Thomas a couple of times and to be fair to him he was still a massive threat and he had an average game by his standards!

casablancas Posted 24 January 2021 Share Posted 24 January 2021 Could do with him have a few ‘Old Harvey Barnes’ moments soon ... because I am seriously wondering how long it’ll be before we are fending off serious money for the lad! He is pure Fcuking sauce when on it. He nearly has it all and could win European titles if he continues on this trajectory you’d think, injury aside.

ARM1968 Posted 25 January 2021 Share Posted 25 January 2021 Hate to say it but the lad is class now and heading on up. Are there seriously many better English Left wingers? Can only think of one currently and I think Barnes will eclipse him soon - plus he doesn’t run like a fuching chicken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzFOX Posted 25 January 2021 Share Posted 25 January 2021 I know we've all been so frustrated with Barnes's finishing and decision making in the past but thank god he's starting to sharpen up now and he's only gonna get better and better. Safe to say (barring any injuries) he's hungry enough to go all the way. Rogers coaching staff are doing a great job nurturing him. Damn we have some bloody good players in our squad!

Rashford is as well, I would argue. It's time we stopped looking at him as a centre forward, he's been in the wing for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there seriously many better English Left wingers? Can only think of one currently and I think Barnes will eclipse him soon - plus he doesn’t run like a fuching chicken. Who were you thinking about? I am a massive Barnes fan since the beginning but I do have to say that he does still need to improve on his positioning, anticipation and runs. He is much better now, but he does not see enough of the ball because his does not make his position welcoming enough for his teammates to pass to him. Whether his teammates can pass is another matter, as Vardy knows and whose positioning and runs often beg the ball to be passed to him (but more that his teammates often fail him). He also needs to make more intelligent runs - he does run but again I think they can be timed and positioned better. There are little things like trying to anticipate the ball better when running into the box etc. Once he gets all these things right, he would really be unstoppable. Funnily enough, it is hard to describe, but despite his great dribbling skills and running with the ball, he is surprisingly not that good at twisting and turning like Vardy or Maddison is. He runs like a train and I suppose that is just the way his body is built, but if he can somehow also add this to his abilities (if possible), he would then be a bit more like Ronaldo.
