You play your most in form players in their best positions. Barnes has started the season like a house on fire and is scoring from LW. Don’t want your time wasted? Don’t make stupid suggestions.

 

Not long ago I was told playing them both was a stupid suggestion.

 

I think you're impossibly stupid and lack basic comprehension.

I'm putting that on Howe.

 

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.

Poor decision? Barnes scored ghosting in from the left, for fuck’s sake.

[midds]

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

God. That Southampton player the other week already gave me Shelvey reminders. Please don't do it Anthony lad.

[Newcastle Fan]

Lets consider the last 4 games his pre-season and judge him after the international break.

Another man with a simple mind.

 

Yes, because he scored from there obviously means he couldn't have from anywhere else.

 

Did you even watch the Forest game? 

 

You make me sick.

- No overreaction there then.

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.

You have severe anger management issues. The fact three different posters have disagreed with your initial comment and you are still lashing out and insulting people suggests you should take a breath before posting in the future

Sadly logic isn’t @KaKa’s strong point.

Gordon was better when he went to the left against Forest and again today.

 

Barnes looked great both sides against Forest, and in particular was combining very well with Livramento on the right.

 

This is not rocket science.

Next time don't talk to me about being stupid. You started that kind of talk.

 

I don't need people to agree with me. No one agreed when I said we should play both. Now that narrative has vanished.

 

How about you take a breath and educate yourself, because you sound clueless.

Nope, you started whining about people ‘wasting your time’ because they had different opinions to you. Multiple people.

 

You’re coming across like a child. Log off for a bit

Your simple way of thinking is a waste of my time.

 

I'll stay logged on thanks, and might teach you a thing or two if you ask nicely.

Again not looking “unsettled”. Hopefully we’ll see more of what we’ve come to expect from him soon.

Exactly this I think, seen a few ‘heads been turned’ posts.. on the surface he doesn’t seem that type of character at all. A very ambitious lad who won’t be the sort to put in half hearted performances at any time, he probably needs a real rest but our wide options won’t allow it. The energy we got used to just isn’t there right now.

 

 

 

 

I wouldn't be surprised if he's not thrilled about being asked to play RW tbh. He is ambitious and he takes his England career very seriously. Anything which might jeopardise that would cause issues.

 

That said, he was still putting in the yards I thought, just didn't look like he knew how to play that wing and still get in on goal like he does from the left. He doesn't seem at all the type to down tools and go in a huff.

Isn't that literally what he did at Everton? 

 

Different circumstances of course, but still.

Maybe, I didn't really follow him at Everton tbh, but here he's been brilliant, ran twice as much as most other players last season.

[Menace]

I mean we're not chasing him in his car and abusing him...

[The Prophet]

He's putting the graft in, it's blatantly the lack of any kind of meaningful pre-season, he looks well off it.

[Roids]

he's somewhat limited as footballer so when the output's lacking it looks worse than it might do with other players.

 

needs to put some work in during the break

He isnt getting a break.

 

He needs a break.

[Elma]

Dead balls were decent, apart from that last free-kick. His best work today was winning free-kicks and relieving a bit of pressure towards the end. Barnes looks the more productive of the two at the moment though.
