Harvey Barnes

[Holloway]

He's given the team fresh options and impetus in attack,and he'll get better

[Ginola]

He seems to have developed a good connection with Isak already, has found his runs a few times in the last few games. We've got goals across the board with Barnes, Isak and AG too

[Ben]

Better choice than Maddison 

[Ikon]

Has been better for us in general play than he was for Leicester most of the time imo. Great to see. 

[Erikse]

Perfect in our system. Really unlucky with his injury.

[Whitley mag]

Was getting slated in the match thread for poor decision making early on funny old game.

Yeah, thought it was harsh. Though he did hesitate at certain points early on and fluffed some great positions, but he is such a threat.

 

Great runs into space, gets his head up and finds passes, and is a threat to shoot from range. He's proving to be a great addition, particularly with Gordon looking like he can be just as effective on the right.

[Danh1]

Shit because he doesn’t wear a head band and do 12 step overs when he has the ball 

[RodneyCisse]

He put it on a plate for someone today when probably could have taken it himself, maybe a Gordon chance?

[HawK]

I thought he linked up well with Anderson

First half?

2nd Gordon took a touch when he should have shot first time. Mind can't really have a go as Gordon was excellent.

Going past players time after time.

[Skeletor]

Much as I hate Klopp, he knows a player when he sees one and he wanted Barnes a while back. Boy's a baller.

Would suit Liverpool with his directness.

He also wanted Jamal Lewis once ?

[Sibierski]

Jamal Lewis was broken by Bruce. Shame he was one of the few players Howe couldn’t rescue after Bruce era, because he was a good attacking LB at Norwich. 

[Mazzy]

Could we see him and Anderson called up for Scotland before the Euros perhaps? McCoist mentioned it during the game, I think both would struggle to break into the England squad regularly.

Barnes with a season without injury under Howe might, especially if we ship Southgate after he fails with the best England group in forever.

Is this lad’s game developing under Howe. Feel he’s carrying the ball better than ever and passing better but I didn’t watch him a ton at Leicester

He's way more involved than I expected him to be based on his Leicester days. Rodgers must've been tactically instructing him to stay out of the game. 

[Adam]

I loved the Anderson overlap today. Teams have to defend inside due to Barnes ability to shoot. He had a lovely run today similar to the Fulham winner where he just runs at the defender then suddenly goes around the outside. Lots more to come as he builds those connections with Isak Gordon etc. 

[Smal]

The Anderson/Barnes partnership reminded me of the peak Willock/Joelinton combination. They were great together. 

[Guest]

Some of his little through balls today were lovely. Quality player.

[TRon]

He's the polar opposite of Maximin. None of the outrageous skills, but 4x the end product.
