So unlucky on that FK mind. Would’ve been a class goal too. Your being harsh plus he's much better cutting in on his left than anything he does on the right. Given we don't create many good chances he has to be starting from the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTONEW Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 He's been outstanding for us. One game it doesn't click and he's being doubted again. There where many more to blame before him, and he was very positive throughout. He doesn't hide, spots overlaps, and actually shoots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 He's been class but always struggles in the faster games where more strength and explosiveness is required. Just not his game. Nearly scored a peach still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s minor point tbf and Harvard is one of the least of my worries currently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him coming centrally is probably a factor to why we have no cut backs from the byline from that side. I echo you though, this is the least of our problems ATM.

Dr.Spaceman Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) He should be going with England, not sure we've got anyone else like him. Hate it when we take 5/6 of the same type of player and 2 of them don't get any meaningful minutes whatsoever.

HawK Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 If I was Barnes I'd go all-in on Scotland now, he'd have a place in the starting lineup for a few years whereas with England realistically this is not really the case. Bit like all the England-born in the Ireland squad of '94, I don't think any of them have any regrets at all from what I've heard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choose Scotland he likely get to start every game in a World Cup at a peak age play against Brazil. Will likely get a Euros and another World Cup before he retires. Him and Doak either side will make Scotland a much more dangerous prospect. They basically fell apart in the Greece game once the outlet of Doak was gone.

kenlau88210 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 My bad. I re-watched it again, the cross by Barnes was not terrible actually. But I wish he could put the ball in front of Elanga's path and made it easy for him to tap it in. Still, Elanga's finish was poor indeed. Well, it wouldn't change the outcome anyway, and he did score a cracking goal tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 He'd be great for knockout football I could see Scotland getting through the groups if he decides to play for them. He has the goal threat that Scotland don't have in prior tournaments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OoOGazOoO Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Come on guys, the ball from Barnes was fine, I think it's more people trying to find an excuse for a shocking miss from Elanga, than anything else. It was maybe a tad behind Elanga but he should have had his second there no questions asked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
