Comes on 80th minute, first kick and his foot flies into the Gallowgate 

Would have been an honour to walk away with Barnes’ foot. 
 

He didn’t look like he was easing himself back in at all so give that the toe injury was a bit of a freak injury in a way I’m really hopeful that he’ll be able to get back up to speed quickly

@Shearergol said he’s been ready for a couple of weeks now. I reckon he will start next week.

Botman for me but he is up there


Maybe I’m being harsh. But Botman returning hasn’t quite had the effect I was hoping for. Doesn’t seem as dominant as I remember and whilst he’s never been fast. He now looks like our slowest defender a lot of the time.  
 

Maybe it’s Pope after all? The defence not being able to play that bit higher and closer to the midfield is what’s made us so disjointed and open with massive gaps all over?
 

That and the 17 other injuries we’ve had :lol:

Yeah Botman seemed loads better before his injury.

Yeah said in another post yesterday I've noticed since coming back that Botman seems miles off it. Actually wondering if we miss Lascelles now because  Botman never seems to get close to blocks or tackles. He seemed more like last year's version in the villa game as he was pressing high and trying to nick the ball. But if I was watching him post injury only...I wouldn't be seeing a highly rated top level defender, I would have to say he looks fairly bang average and not in the irreplaceable bracket with Isak and Bruno anymore.

Brilliant work from Miley on that goal and the finish was peng.

 

Bruno's assist was fucking sumptuous too.

Not had a player who can reliably score like that for a long time. Isak maybe, but he's usually playing a different role.

Easily our biggest miss this season.

I rate Barnes highly, but I think the biggest miss is Pope as the sweeper keeper. The back four fall back and that creates all that space our midfield has been struggling to cover.

Someone, at some point, said he didn't have a left foot. Or at least it was a swinger at best. That was a beautifully controlled strike.

Whoever said that was wrong. He's scored over a quarter of his goals with his weaker (left) foot, hitting xG with it.  Click on "shot type" for the numbers.

I wonder how much crossover there is between people who didn't rate Harvey Barnes and people who didn't rate Anthony Gordon. Just because you play for a struggling club....

Fairly certain it was @LFEE who kept claiming he was one footed. 

I don’t think he’s two footed and still stand by that. Not in the sense of he doesn’t trust his weaker foot.

 

To evidence what I mean when Schar slides him through he should use his left but steps around to use his right. Same as he did against Villa. 
 

Small sample size I appreciate but as his minutes increase let’s see who is right. My money is on his preference to turn his body shape and use his right.

 

An example of a two footed player to me is Beardsley. You can’t tell which was his strongest foot and looked natural using both.

He’s not a genuinely two footed player. But they seem few and far between and always have been. 
 

I always remember Santi Cazorla being equally as good with both. Would even take set pieces off either foot. 
 

Then you have players that will dribble with both feet. But not necessarily shoot or cross on their weaker foot. 
 

Then you have players like Martins and Dembele. Who don’t know what their stronger foot is and are equally as erratic with both :lol: 

 

I might be mis-remembering. But I’m sure Barnes has scored a few on his left over the years. Like he’s happy to take it on and put his laces through it or try and place it like yesterday.

Ginola one of the best I've ever seen using left and right.

Could possibly be the only player to score a free kick with his weaker foot (for spurs) 

 

Saw lee Clark take a corner once with his left foot too
