Barnes MUST be in for a start. That's two wingers out the squad. Gwon you beautiful law abiding goalscorer you! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hope not, Kanes shot to goal ratio is atrocious. Based on last season "In terms of shot frequency, Kane topped the chart with 133 unblocked shots last season - 23 per cent more than any other player - but only 56 per cent of those attempts hit the target, which ranked him 14th out of 20." "In contrast to shooting accuracy, shot conversion includes blocked attempts. Kane led the way again for shot frequency with 184 attempts, including 51 blocked efforts - resulting in a 16 per cent goal ratio (17th out of 20)." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Watching him sometimes is a bit like the big bully in school who makes sure everyone passes to him until he scores. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Watching him sometimes is a bit like the big bully in school who makes sure everyone passes to him until he scores. conversion rates and shots on target percentages are a notoriously bad way of measuring how good somebody is at finishing though. kane takes a lot of shots from relatively bad positions (compared to vardy for instance): of course his conversion rates and shots on target percentage is lower. buying a lot of tickets is a legitimate way to score lots of goals. personally i think kane is a pretty good finisher - he's overshot his xG for most of his career, it's just that he's doing it in a specific manner.

cruzFOX 209 Posted 5 October Report Share Posted 5 October Even if Barnes doesn't get a run out in any of the games which he bloody well should but knowing Southgate you juts never know I think it will be a good experience. Shame Madders isn't there too and give him company but Chillwell might be so at least 1 familiar face. Looking forward to the match up against Belgium! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sol thewall Bamba 7,337 Posted 5 November Report Share Posted 5 November Who cares, more time for him to recover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LCCFox96 900 Posted 5 November Report Share Posted 5 November If it was going to be a repeat of last time where he got 15 minutes in a non-competitive game, for all its great experience getting an international cap and being in the England camp, I'm pleased he'll have the opportunity to get some rest and recovery sessions and spend more time with Brendan who will improve his game 10x the amount Southgate could ever hope too. Besides, if you take out the centre forwards of Kane, DCL and Abraham, at the moment Barnes is competing with Sterling, Rashford, Sancho, Grealish and of course Southgate's favourite Mason Mount. They're all players that are ahead of Barnes right now or, in the latter's case, a manager's favourite. It's a tough ask him and did brilliant to get himself in the mix in the last squad. More to come from Barnes and he's a very gifted, exciting and raw talent but to miss out now is no great shakes on his part. Onwards and upwards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mickyblueeyes 2,343 Posted 5 November Report Share Posted 5 November Ashley Maitland Niles cant even get in the Arsenal side. Strange that from Southgate. It must be hard to see first team regulars behind a face mask - only explanation for it as he doesnt have "big club" bias. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RowlattsFox 1,981 Posted 5 November Report Share Posted 5 November On this occasion I'm more than happy for as many of our squad to miss the internationals as possible. Neither will make the summer squad so no point them wasting their time. 13 defenders I know its an extended squad but he is just picking as many as possible becuase he doesn't know who he's going to pick. clear show that he will be continuing with his 532. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Solihullfox 144 Posted 5 November Report Share Posted 5 November Good news that Barnes and Maddison get some rest but the flip side is do the players begin to think they are only going to get international football by going to a so called bigger club. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
