80 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Felt like he was trying to keep the peace with that second chance he created for Wilson rather than taking himself Went against his instincts and got punished. Glad he did the right thing on the next go Great game, the first of many no doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Thought he should’ve had a brace. I’m sure Wilson appreciates Barnes laying that ball off to him instead of shooting himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Wilson failed to convert it, it gave Barnes full permission to shoot next time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 God, just so happy for this lad. Seems like such a nice fella and an instantly memorable debut off the bench with all his attributes on show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 7 minutes ago, Leicester fan said: Great result Newcastle brilliant start to the season. I listened to the game on the radio hoping Harvey Barnes would get on so you can all see what he can do. He's a 100% honest player and I know your fans appreciate that. Hopefully we'll see him back at the King Power next season albeit he'll be in the wrong shirt. He didn't disappoint and gave us exactly what we expected. An effective directness with goals and assists at the end of it. Good luck this season, hope to see you back in the prem next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon_Geordie Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 He, and Gordon and the subs are gonna torture some teams in the last 15 of games. Pace to burn coming off that bench, either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miercoles Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 His finishing is so good, he and Cal are two guys where if they're through one on one you just know it's a goal. Isak on that list too of course, crazy after so long of having nobody that can finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isak doesn’t have to conserve energy knowing that we have Wilson to come on for 30 min+ of elite striker play if necessary, same goes for Gordon, Barnes, Joelinton etc. We’ll have a lot of rotation between games with the CL and all, but tactical rotation mid-game could be just as beneficial.

Yeah, Howe said as much, especially with the game going 10-15 minutes longer with the new rules in play. You need a good bench and today was the strongest I've seen in years.
