Goal or assist every 96 minutes.

"jury's out" though.

 

Considering the time out he had for injury he's contributing nicely and you can tell Eddie is managing his minutes and getting him back up to speed in a staggered fashion. Full pre-season behind him and I think he'll post similar numbers to Gordon next season if he gets the minutes.

A ruthlessly efficient footballer.

He's been absolutely fine this season when fit, saved us plenty of points as well.

If he had the full season I think he'd be posting Anthony Gordon numbers tbh (perhaps with less penalties won).

Incredibly poor cameo I thought

I wonder if Howe has thought of playing Barnes as a central Striker, he's a great goalscorer 

[Menace]

He's not smart/technical enough to be a striker imo. He's very good at what he does - just limited on a lot of other things.

[Erikse]

I said it in a different thread. I looked through Leicester fans opinion about him, and the main complaint was inconsistency. That he gets lost in games. It seems like that's what's happening, one game he looks like a fantastic signing, and in another he looks like a pretty bad one.

The man's hardly played since he signed, Gordon didn't look the best at first give him a pre season first

He has started just 2 games as a CF for Leicester. I would assume that there's a reason for that. I think that it's easier for him to drive forward with his pace from the wing. It actually says that he started a youth game as a DM, maybe that's where we should play him?

He is at his best when he can isolate and use pace against someone 1v1 to cut inside. I mean it’s possible as a cf, just way easier on the wing hugging the line or breaking behind the LB/RB when pulling him wide.

Difficult to judge Barnes on this seasons performance.  Unfortunately it's been a bit of a wasted season for him.
