Sempiternal Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 This is gonna sound very “play schar in midfield” but legit think Barnes could do a job up front, maximizes a lot of what he’s good at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always been more a finisher than an assist merchant. Agree he'd be good up top, but only if we are playing in the break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) It's a bit annoying that we got both him and Gordon on the left and no one decent on the right. superb from the bench today. Edited March 30 by Newcastle Fan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its definitely a good thing, I’m just saying efficiency is a big part of his style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 How many would he have scored if he was available all season? What’s he on now in what seems like about 6 games worth of minutes? 4? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i remember correctly he played striker for Rodgers last year next to Vardy/Iheanacho so maybe not a too unrealistic idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Green Balls Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 He really is the anti-ASM. Like Indiana Jones when he shoots the swordsman flashing his skills. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upthemags Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 So thrilled for the lad just watched back his goals - would be a much welcome grace if he can build on this form for the final push this season... We could use a miggy-esque purple patch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 3 hours ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: He is boring TBF, he’s just very efficient and doesn’t bother doing anything that’s unnecessary. The way he explodes into the space Isak left when he dropped deep to get the ball for Barnes' first goal was absolutely fantastic. Isak then delivers an excellent through ball for him to be in one in one for the goal. The ball from Isak was top class, but for me the run from Barnes is just as exciting. In fact the run is so good it encourages the pass from Isak. Actually quite enjoy Barnes' more direct style and dangerous off the ball runs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon is perfectly fine on the right. I wouldn't mind seeing Barnes-Isak-Gordon on a regular basis. I suppose Gordon up top when Isak needs a rest. edit: Posted right at the same time as the intelligent fellow above. Edited March 30 by McDog Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is/was the biggest weakness of ASM's game, once he got the ball he was electric but his movement without it meant he didn't really tend to receive the ball in great positions.
