Harvey Barnes

[STM]

Blokes a striker playing on the wing.

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.

The bench was probably the strongest I’ve ever seen it, even in the KK and SBR peak it was never this strong? The back four in both eras weren’t elite 

[samptime29]

Yeah bench was strong.

The lad looks mustard. Mentally switched on, can finish himself but knows when to lay it off to ensure the chance is converted. He'll be involved in so many goals this season if he stays fit, already looks a snip at £38m. End product and decision making looks 'off the scale' good, goals and assists in full flow already

Wasn't there was some character on here saying we shouldn't be buying relegated players 

 

Think it's a key strategy under the right circumstances. Really glad we got him. Looks such a seamless natural fit for how we play.

[McCormick]

So composed in the final third and his movement is top tier. Love him already.

[gbandit]

He’s a very intelligent footballer even though he mainly does the simple things to perfection

I knew his speciality was 1-2s but what he is good at is getting nice short pass off while accelerating to full pace in one seamless movement without seemingly making any passing motion with his feet

Expand  

Aye this is what I mean, he passes the ball accurately to somebody and is already ahead of the defender seemingly instantly. It's weird.

Thought he should’ve had a brace.
 

I’m sure Wilson appreciates Barnes laying that ball off to him instead of shooting himself.

Expand  

Little things like that will buy him credit for the future so it was a smart move ultimately - we already had the game sealed at that point.

[Mountain]

Already equalled Maxi's goal premier league goal contribution from last year in which he played 25 games

[duo]

The lad is clinical

That is intelligence

Absolutely thrilled we have this guy. The right player at the right time.

Nah, he's just a very efficient winger who knows when to press the buttons. He's criminally underrated out wide IMO.

[Erikse]

I think he was a bit too patient on that Wilson chance, and Wilson got too close to the GK because of that. Wilson probably should've scored still, and it was a great save. Barnes was amazing though, what a threat he will be.

Aye, I reckon the reason he didn’t release it sooner is he’s so used to shooting himself there and I think he was weighing up the whole time whether to go himself or release it even though he knew releasing it was the right move

His finishing is superb.

Leicester fans being genuinely chuffed he did well feels weird

That's why the second time around I was shouting "just go for it this time!" Better than hesitating. And he didn't hesitate at all that time around.

Barnes doing well. Tielemans just reminding us of what we won't miss

Looks like the entire front six is sorted for at least 2-3 seasons, unless we scout a relative bargain in the meantime.

hey Beth?

[Tiresias]

They hate tielemans lol. Feels like he;s their Wijnaldum, he may well be good for Villa (and i don't think emery will tolerate shit performances) but the reputation seems to exceed what he actually did, he did seem to check out for them for quite some time.

Honestly, I can’t understand why Villa signed him.  He was powderpuff every time I saw Leicester last season.  Leicester were one of those sides you get every so often where they go down but have some really good players.  Tielemans wasn’t one of them.
