Holloway Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Circumstance has led to Barnes having an opportunity to grab the lw spot, rather than him forcing his way in. I do think he played well in the final, not quite the fantastic performance some were getting carried away with, but certainly did more than enough to start the next game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrymac1966 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Barnes is improving rapidly his game play last week showed a new edge all round...very very happy with him offers a lot more than ASM did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) Another "problem" for Barnes is that Gordon barely ever gets injured. As long as Gordon is ready to play, he starts (atleast up until this point). Again, it's that awkward bit where we wish Barnes was an RW with an excellent left foot instead of right foot.

On the documentary Gordon was signed as a RW if iirc? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted Wednesday at 19:48 Share Posted Wednesday at 19:48 Very intelligent footballer with his flicks and build up play totally different from what gordon offers. Glad we have them both at our disposal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted Wednesday at 20:45 Share Posted Wednesday at 20:45 Cracking run of performances, deserves to stay in the starting 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted Wednesday at 20:50 Share Posted Wednesday at 20:50 Brilliant for an hour. Seems to really link up well with Tino and Joelinton. Totally nullified on the right. I get it was needs must tonight and Willock would always go left. But everything that makes him great is a strength coming off the left. But he can’t really use those attributes on the other side.

Sean Posted Wednesday at 20:59 Share Posted Wednesday at 20:59 As good as he's been, he's deserved/should have more goals and assists lately. Not a dig at him as it just seems bad luck a lot of the time, but the goals and assists will be flying in soon if he continues in the same way.

Newcastle Fan Posted Wednesday at 21:03 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:03 I like him more than Gordon lately, seems like he's got better end product and we won all three games he started so i wouldn't like to see him dropped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
