McDog Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Just now, Ronaldo said: We needed a RW as a huge priority, we all know that. Time will tell how that pans out but if Barnes isn’t starting regularly for us something has gone dreadfully wrong somewhere, especially given the fact we sold ASM to finance the deal. Gordon can 100% play RW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Barnes he barely got the ball - was crying out for it and was free much of the time. But we kept trying to pass through the lines, which was easily dealt with by Liverpool. Bizarrely we didn't do what worked so well against Villa. Edited August 27, 2023 by duo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Displayname Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Just a reminder. He played 20 minutes today and still has 1 goal and 1 assist in under 90 minutes total for us this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloGeordio Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Last home game he assisted Wilson, also took one for himself in similar positions to yesterday. I thought he was caught in 2 minds and then the moment had gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I’m most concerned that it seems to be him or Gordon LW and Almiron x Murphy for the right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiston Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) When was the last time Barnes' even played right wing, he's firmly a left winger. Everything he does good is on the left. Edited August 28, 2023 by Aiston Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) To be fair to him he's very good at getting into these situations where he finds himself through the defence with the ball. He quick and makes some good runs. In just 90 minutes, hes had 3 or 4 of these chances. Probably more than any other player in our team the first 3 games.

Kanj Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I kind of always assumed Gordon would be the Almiron competition tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atleast we know he can be a threat if a game opens up. 8 minutes ago, Kanji said: I kind of always assumed Gordon would be the Almiron competition tbh. I'm also a bit uncertain about this, because I'm also still more convinced about Joelinton at left wing rather than CM (I said that at the end of last season aswell). Good to have options, but wish there was more competition on the right side. The obvious solution would be to try Gordon on the right, but maybe he's not as good there. I think Gordon is better suited for the right side than Barnes or Joelinton however. Edited August 28, 2023 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Watching the replay back, he looked well offside for the Wilson square ball. It probably wouldn't have stood if we score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, he would have been offside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novocastrian Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Must admit I wasn’t paying too much attention by the end but did Barnes contribute much? In my mind he’s only really effective running onto a throughball like against Villa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
