Harvey Barnes

[Yorkie]

What a fucking beauty of a strike that was. Whistles past the goalie.

[80]

Really weak performance tonight. They had his number from the first whistle. Was hoping he'd pull it around with a crack from outside the box, but it never came. Glad Eddie took the initiative and withdrew him. Tonight was definitely not his night.

[Ronaldo]

Don’t think he’s an away player tbh. Certainly not for where we want to be.

[Tiotes Witch Doctor]

Either scores worldies or does fuck all, no in-between.

[aussiemag]

We aren’t playing to his strengths. Needs to receive the ball with support players around him for a 1-2. Also he’s probs it better as an impact player until

He has a pre-season. 

[Whitley mag]

Decent squad player but doesn’t take us to next level, if only we’d been able to get Cole Palmer instead.

Apart from the games where he's been lively, but hasn't scored.

Imagine him and Gordon in same side… with Isak in the middle of them. Terrifying with right tactics. 

[joeyt]

That underhit pass to Gordon in the first half when we had them 3 on 2 was so frustrating

[Geogaddi]

He always looks better coming off the bench , West Ham and Luton been his best games for us.

[Holloway]

Started brightly in Eddie's two minute spell, misplaced that backheel to Gordon then didn't get a sniff for the remainder

[AyeDubbleYoo]

He's never going to thrive in games where we can't put two passes together.

He had a few sniffs but didn't seem to have any ideas he believed he could execute when up against their defenders.

[Holloway]

 Aye fair, what limited involvement he did have,nothing came off for him. One to forget

Still angry with that back heel decision! Isak would have been free on goal with a simple pass!

[TRC]

Barnes is quality control the game better and don't put out championship players and he will do well.

From what I've seen of him this season, he can do some strange things in the final third. I remember he made a mess of a big chance or two against Villa on the opening day, because of his decision making. That's the biggest flaw I've seen so far. His decision making still seems much better than that of Almiron though, who will make a mess of it 90% of the time.

I think looking for the pass is definitely a weak link in his game, however I'd back him to score when he does get a chance more than anyone else bar Wilson/Isak.

From the few things I've seen, I think his delivery is quite good when he does it in the right moments (seen som great crosses), but yeah, the decision making in those moments can be dodgy with him. My 2 cents.

I think that's something you can train to a degree. He'll not be one of those players who just instinctively knows what to do but he can certainly improve. 

[80]

I get the vibe he's genuinely not sure whether passing or taking a shot himself is more likely to benefit the team oftentimes. Partly as he's extremely good at shooting so the choice is less obvious than it would be for most players. But it is something he'd benefit a lot from resolving.

[Guest]

Lovely assist yesterday. Seems to have that in his locker running at speed and being able to dink a short little pass behind the defenders. 

[duo]

Just oozes quality in the final 3rd

[Whitley mag]

Thought his performance at Palace told us more personally, might be great at home when we’re on top of teams, but he certainly won’t be a game changer away from home when we’re under the cosh against better teams.

 

Decent squad player but at 40 million he was a luxury and money could have been better spent.

[The Prophet]

Bit harsh when a majority of the team were well below par at Palace.

 

Especially given he recently came on and pulled us out the mud v West Ham.
