Lush Vlad Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 That second goal FFS no need to put it there. But fuck it, have it in the stanch anyway. Felt very Suarez that finish. So glad he has taken this opportunity. We’ve not even missed Gordon and Barnes deserves so much credit. Just a ruthless finisher when he gets those sort of chances.

OoOGazOoO Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I have said it since he first signed for us, the way he is so direct is so different to many players. His second summed him up, I thought he should pass to Isak when he first got the ball, but literally drove forward with amazing directness, in between 2 defenders and that finish, well, unstoppable.

Expand Baffling. I posted about this in the dullard punditry thread, how can you be so wrong. Barnes is literally a winger who specialises in finishing.

Wish we still had him at Leicester. Good luck for the rest of the season. Unfortunately we won't be coming to St James park next season. Expand You'll be back I'm sure. Good luck with next year.

Probably because he is famous for being a one-two merchant rather than taking players on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Remember in his first few games he was often confused as to whether he should pass or shoot, and ended up making a mess of it. All that insecurity is gone (might have just been as he was settling anyways), and his instincts are mostly on point now.

KaKa Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Love the direct simplicity of his game, and his efficiency. Uses the overlapping full back so well, and when he's one on one I trust him most to slot the chance away, with a clean accurate strike and no fuss.
