Great start to his NUFC career both pre-season and now his official debut for us in the league. Have a feeling in certain games he will be very effective. However I’ll judge him after a full season. Going to be interesting viewing how we are this season against a team that parks the bus. Still not sure Barnes is the answer on those occasions but who knows as he seems to have a history of some good long range shooting. 


when you park the bus, the thing that unlocks are the long shots or the intricate 1-2s and a snap shot. He’s made for that.

Don't want to pile on him, but had a real sinking feeling when he messed that up. Need to see it again, but not sure what happened to him - to me it looked like his legs were giving out underneath him as he ran.

He looks really insecure when he's through the defence. Did have a very instinctive goal against Villa when we were 3 or 4 up, but other times he looks too hesitant. Need a bit more determination in those moments. Will probably be better with time.

Think Maxi would’ve constantly slowed the attack down the way he often did thereby allowing the opposition to get 2 men to him. 
 

If HB had squared that ball all would’ve been well. Very fine margins. He’s got some improving to do but I think we all knew that.

He’s used to playing first team football, now finds himself on the bench and feels like he has to make a major contribution every time he comes on. Totally understandable but it doesn’t have to be a goal, an assist can be just as important. That shit decision of his not to pass the ball to Wilson felt like him trying to be the match winner and it cost us big time. Just a shit decision that he hopefully doesn’t repeat

We needed a RW as a huge priority, we all know that. Time will tell how that pans out but if Barnes isn’t starting regularly for us something has gone dreadfully wrong somewhere, especially given the fact we sold ASM to finance the deal.
