Aiston Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) When was the last time Barnes' even played right wing, he's firmly a left winger. Everything he does good is on the left. Edited August 28, 2023 by Aiston Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) To be fair to him he's very good at getting into these situations where he finds himself through the defence with the ball. He quick and makes some good runs. In just 90 minutes, hes had 3 or 4 of these chances. Probably more than any other player in our team the first 3 games.

Expand I'm also a bit uncertain about this, because I'm also still more convinced about Joelinton at left wing rather than CM (I said that at the end of last season aswell). Good to have options, but wish there was more competition on the right side. The obvious solution would be to try Gordon on the right, but maybe he's not as good there. I think Gordon is better suited for the right side than Barnes or Joelinton however. Edited August 28, 2023 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Watching the replay back, he looked well offside for the Wilson square ball. It probably wouldn't have stood if we score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novocastrian Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Must admit I wasn’t paying too much attention by the end but did Barnes contribute much?
