Harvey Barnes (Out for a Month with a Thigh Strain)

[Guest]

That finish on Saturday was just so pure man. Wasn't dead in the corner but the way he hit it meant it was hard to get down to.

Yeah, just passed it into the net, love those type of finishes, so cool and calm.

His movement looks sharp as a dart still. Naturally intelligent player.

[CPL]

That run at the end to kill the game off was literally what we needed against PSG, Chelsea, and any game where we have been done in the last minute cause we had no bench for fresh legs.

[Aiston]

A few more parts of games and hopefully he'll be match fit.

 

His intelligence is there and clear to see.

[Joelinton7]

We have been deprived of one of the best wingers in the league for half a season. So good to have him back.

He’s a really clever player and seems to play with a lightness and freedom which is nice to see. Combine with liking to keep things simple and follow the textbook for shooting etc, makes him very dangerous.

For what feels like the first time this season we've been able to ease someone back into it. 

 

Feels like he should be starting next week though with Gordon moved over to the right?

I would 100% support that.

We look wayyyyyyy better with him. We don't shoot enough. Barnes will shoot.

[SteV]

It’s mad when you have a player who’s ran his bollocks off for 60/70 mins, but then you can replace him with an equally good ‘fresh’ player, that you look better as a team.

[Displayname]

Has Barnes ever tried playing as a forward? We are running out of options here and while Gordon may do a job there, I think he is so much better coming from wide.

Howay Harvey lad!

Thought he was very poor tonight

[James]

Weren’t some Leicester fans saying he could be a bit static and lazy. That’s what we saw tonight. Don’t see how he fits in a Howe team

[Amir_9]

Played an absolute stinker today. I have faith in him to come good and rate his ability to be a solid signing for us but that was fucking horrific tonight.

[Gallowgate Toon]

He'll be up and down while he builds himself up. He's missed a lot of football.

[Parsley]

Lacking sharpness and looks low on confidence. Won't be displacing Gordon any time soon on tonight's showing. 

[TRon]

Even before the penalty miss his game was really tentative and nervous. He's not a young kid, I'm worried he's got a Longstaff mentality, not going to lie.

[Aiston]

Clearly not match fit after so long out.

[Pablo123]

I think he'll be quality, just look at Gordon. Just a bit rusty.

[Geordie_once_removed]

This isn't really a reflection on his performance today, but still don't really get signing him.  LW was arguably our strongest position given the way we play and as much as I like them both Miggy and Murphy's should have been playing an impact sub in this team behind a new RW.

 

I like pie, and I don't mind saying I'm wrong. So hopefully in a year I can serve myself a big slice of humble pie over this comment.

[Big Jow]

Send him back to Leicester to be made into a bag of Walkers crisps after that penalty.

Yeah if he's not scoring or assisting he'll have his critics, can drift in and out of games and is more a clinical producer than great all round player/threat.
