Quality attacker, like. Could easily be a consistent difference maker against 3/4 of the league's defences.

[La Parka]

Imagine him on the left for England...

[gbandit]

What’s the consensus among the “but why the fuck did we sign him?” crew these days?

Amen. 

 

We've got 2 viable (didn't say good ) subs who can take the weight off them but theres absolutely no reason* to not start Gordon and Barnes going forward.

 

*Unless Howe has a tactical reason, like using Murphy as a wing back.

when Wilson is back we could conceivably play him central with Isak withdrawn and Gordon and Barnes as wingers. We could play Isak as winger and Gordon as a 10. And this isn’t including Murphy or Mig coming in as well like today.

They are waiting until he has a bad game 

[Adam]

Still only scores at the Gallowgate end 

 

Worrying.

I always think of this.

The finish is ludicrously good like. He doesn't stick out a leg and just guide the ball, he perfectly like plucks it out of the air with a crisp hit into the corner. Crazy finish.

[gbandit]

He’s a better finisher than almost all strikers in the league 

[Zero]

Before the goal he nearly scored a screamer. Had it go in it must be goal of the week.

 

[ExiledGeordie]

I think he’s the answer to the RW issue currently (well that and switching sides with Gordon) until we get someone else in. Hes a natural goal scorer and I hope he gets a proper run on the team. He showed with that assist for Gordon’s goal that he can creat too. Sure he’s not going to beat a man like Gordon but we don’t really have that many who can pull something out of their arse and win a game and he’s one of the few players we have who can bang one in from outside the box. I think Tonali will add that shot threat from the edge of the box too but Barnes needs to be in the team for goals.

Hope you’re right but I’m not sure he can score from the right

That’s a fair point to be fair but surely he’s the best option vs Almiron and Murphy. 

[Zero]

Ask him to learn trivela like Quaresma then

To add to it as well - only seen it a couple of times but I much prefer miggy on the left as well.

I was certain that was heading in when he hit it

He's probably the best striker of the ball at the club, and hits it with both his right and left foot. He also has the curled finish and the laces finish in his repertoire.

 

Most wingers coming up in their youth likely played both sides as part of their development. It's not a magical conundrum that would suddenly dumbfound them and render all their abilities moot, when they switch sides.

 

Against Forest he did really well on the right and actually had a couple of attempts from there that he should have scored from, one in particular that he just snatched at a bit.

 

Really underrated player this guy is, and I'm not certain Gordon will do better than him on that right side. For the meantime we ought to switch them at points, like we did during the Forest game, so we can know for sure what combination is best for the team.

 

 

[Smal]

it's mad how efficient he is like. It's 6 goals and 4 assists in 916 minutes / 10.2 90s in the league for us since he joined.  If he can maintain a goal or assist every 90 minutes it's surely worth getting him in the team. 

 

Having said that Murphy is also really efficient tbf. 3 goals and 8 assists in 1305 minutes / 14.5 90s since the start of last season.

Just kidding of course. Very important player and seems up for it this season. 

[Tiresias]

Odd player really, I don't know if he's really a winger, he feels more like a striker but he's not going to hold up play, and he's quick but not lightning quick. He's not super skillful to get past players either, he's just smart in getting into right place right time like an old fashioned poacher. I do think back in the days of 4-4-2 he would be upfront alongside a big man who would take it down for him. Anyway really excited if he keeps playing like this does ease my concerns on our sharpness this season.
