Irish Magpie Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Genuinely believe we've just upgraded the first eleven in terms of what the lad brings to overall possession and xG, very direct and swift when the openings arise. I'll likely miss Maxi's flair and trickery, but at the end of the day - workrate counts. (copyright: Eddie Howe) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Bittersweet I think. No doubt he'll make up for what ASM lacked, but I'll really miss the flair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Quote “Barnes is not stunning, nor does he show flashes of genius. You won’t find a stepover, or a cheeky finish, or many spectacular long-rangers. Barnes’ game is almost solely based around the simplest concept in football: the give-and-go. “He is a fine ball-carrier, but doubtless knows his limitations at directly beating his opponent. And as a goalscoring wide player, his main job is to get past the opposition full-back and score goals. Therefore, he compensates for his lack of trickery by relentlessly playing one-twos with team-mates. “Opposition right-backs have a specific task when playing against Barnes — don’t worry too much about him running at you with the ball, but be very wary when he knocks the ball infield and charges past you.” Bit from The Athletic article, courtesy of Michael Cox.

Pope Trippier Schar Botman Burn Tonali Bruno Joelinton Almiron Isak Barnes For now, I'd say so. The second XI needs some work, especially at the back, and we still look a winger light to me: Dubravka Manquillo Lascelles Dummett Targett Anderson Longstaff Willock Murphy Wilson Gordon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranna Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Now we can understand why Szobo and Maddison were not gonna be signed, they are mostly playmakers. Howe wants a lot of running/intensity on the midfield and on the wings, that's why he chose Barnes and Tonali. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
