Zero Posted September 1, 2024 Share Posted September 1, 2024 I don’t think he sulked. There were a few occasions that might end up serious injuries, and he still went for it. If he was sulking he wouldn’t gamble like that. Give him some time to regain his form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have just put Barnes on the right as he looked better than Gordon there last game, and he's the one that is wanting to play and so should be fine to make the sacrifice of playing there. Poor decision. Except Barnes has been scoring from the left all season and literally won us the game today from there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted September 1, 2024 Share Posted September 1, 2024 He threw his arms in the air, geeing up the crowd near the end when we a corner. Think he’s just feeling flat. He’s clearly a massive confidence player, he’ll be back to his best very soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacrifices have to be made because the club are apparently incapable of finding a right winger. If Gordon is the one that has started slower this season, I think it makes more sense to play him where he is more comfortable. Barnes looked just as dangerous on the right last game. At the very least they should have swapped at times, but whatever! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted September 1, 2024 Share Posted September 1, 2024 I’d much prefer Gordon left, Barnes right, at least until we’ve seen enough of Barnes on the right to see how he gets on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least they should have swapped at times, but whatever! I see what you're saying now, but what I'd argue is you play your best or most in form players on their best position. Gordon is probably our best but Barnes is our most in form. So what Howe did today is reminded Gordon that we need him on the pitch but that he needs to perform to be in the driving seat for his position.

midds Posted September 1, 2024 Share Posted September 1, 2024 Don't think it would be the worst thing in the world if he pulled out of the International squad and use the time to get his body and mind a bit of rest. He looks tired and a bit listless, doesn't seem quite focused and looks a little laboured. The rest would do him good imo. I don't think it'll happen mind, he won't want to give anyone a chance to take his place which I understand. He'll want to play as much as possible, but I think that's half the problem, he needs a rest mentally and physically. Imo obviously Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How’s he supposed to ghost in from the left if he’s playing on the right? He also assisted Gordon from the left last week and Gordon scored ghosting in from the right.
