I mean I don't believe for a second he was trying to nutmeg the keeper on that goal :lol:

 

Was a fair bit of luck involved there IMO.


I don’t know but it is a common thing when keepers are rushing out 1on1. They aim to make themselves as big as they can and the nutmeg finish is always there. I know of a few clinical finishers who definitely do it on purpose in those instances where the keeper has to run out and basically do the splits. Hard to tell if it was intentional here. Was half thinking he was going to put Gordon in for a tap in. Glad it went in

I watched him quite a bit when he was at Leicester. He isn’t flashy but he’s got great technique. Could fill in as a striker. Loves a 1-2 then opening his body up and tucking it away far post 60% of his goals are exactly that. Kind of like a right footed Almiron but he can finish consistently. He plays more narrow and isn’t quite as industrious as Miggy. Can’t remember the last time we had a winger with consistent end product.

He is boring TBF, he’s just very efficient and doesn’t bother doing anything that’s unnecessary. 

 

I mean even in his post-match interview he's boring, but I'll gladly take goals and goal contributions over step overs any day.

This is gonna sound very “play schar in midfield” but legit think Barnes could do a job up front, maximizes a lot of what he’s good at. 

He's always been more a finisher than an assist merchant. 

 

Agree he'd be good up top, but only if we are playing in the break.

Its definitely a good thing, I’m just saying efficiency is a big part of his style.

If i remember correctly he played striker for Rodgers last year next to Vardy/Iheanacho so maybe not a too unrealistic idea.

How many would he have scored if he was available all season? What’s he on now in what seems like about 6 games worth of minutes? 4? 

I felt he’d get 15 (all comps) pre-season.

 

Feel like that was a fair shout.

This lad certainly knows how to strike a ball.

 

Thought his slide to get on the end of the cross (by Murphy?) was stellar as well, was a great run into the penalty area.
