SheppyFox Posted 25 October 2020 Share Posted 25 October 2020 (edited) Interesting lineup. Only concern is Barnes shots per goal, it isn’t flattering. Edited 25 October 2020 by SheppyFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay one last post then I’m out because the negativity on here is ridiculous. look at the arsenal defenders, they are calamitous and the thing they don’t like is balls in behind and tricky strikers. Barnes is a David Luiz nightmare. Slim and nacho, I think he’d be fine but Barnes offers something he can’t handle. But sure let’s just assume we want Barnes as an extra defender (despite the fact defending is by far his worse attribute) Edited 25 October 2020 by Lambert09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkie1999 Posted 25 October 2020 Share Posted 25 October 2020 Bit of kick in the nuts for nacho man if you ask me. Decent showing in the week then replaced by a winger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Man City made us look better than we were that day. But the point is Rogers got it right v Man City and wrong v West Ham.

FoxesWalk Posted 25 October 2020 Share Posted 25 October 2020 (edited) On the face of it, we are showing them too much respect. But let’s see how we actually come out of the blocks, we may well outnumber them in the middle of the park with that lineup.

Guest ttfn Posted 25 October 2020 Share Posted 25 October 2020 I got the logic for the Man City game. I don’t get this at all, Arsenal are there to be got at. Reminds me of Man United last year where Rodgers picked a team and formation to counter the name on the opposition’s crest rather than the players wearing the shirts.

Guest ttfn Posted 25 October 2020 Share Posted 25 October 2020 I will say though that I think Barnes is a striker in the long run and I am looking forward to seeing him play there. His finishing is dreadful but he has everything else to be a top level centre forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravel Posted 25 October 2020 Share Posted 25 October 2020 You're all mistaken, Kasper will play a false 9 and Barnes between the sticks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let's see how the game pans out before judging, as people lost their minds in the first half of Man City and we won 5-2. Admittedly his tactics were awful against West Ham though! Doesn't want to lose 3 on the trot but go a goal down and we are f....d ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody would have complained if it was Vardy instead of him. Barnes has the potential to be ruthless and I think the arsenal cbs will be worried Of course we wouldn't have complained with Vardy playing the Vardy role. But Barnes is not Vardy, not even close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban.spaceman Posted 25 October 2020 Share Posted 25 October 2020 People are going to have to get used to some extreme changes to line-ups and unusual formations. Injuries have ravaged the squad and we are in the middle of a huge fixture congestion. We’re not gonna see a full strength XI until at least January, if we’re lucky. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumbleFox Posted 25 October 2020 Share Posted 25 October 2020 I suppose we’ll have to wait and see. The one plus is that if it works (and aye, it’s a big of) it does give us a way of getting Praet, Maddison and Tielemans into the same team. Come on you foxes.
