AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I believe he’s a good player, just Gordon making the LW his own (and his injuries) have scuppered him. More difficult decision because of the stakes in the final, but generally I would play him as much as possible while Gordon is out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 1 hour ago, r0cafella said: I don't want to sidetrack @Cfexcellent player ratings thread but the Harvey Barnes rating which seems to be a c at the time of posting got me thinking. Did we overpay for him? Nah, that’s going rate for his output. Just we clearly had Gordon set as RW, but he went to Euro u21s, smashed it up, then came into season with confidence. Barnes injury and Gordon made LW his own. I believe a good fee is still there for him, because he’s a one in three LW if played regularly, which attracts clubs. Needs to produce final run of games, stay injury free, for us to get that though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Thought he was decent. It’s always going to depend on how often we can get the ball to his feet in a dangerous position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I don’t think he ever does much in general play. Not great on and off the ball. Pretty weak. Not got a trick. Quick’ish without being proper fast for a winger. But then comes alive near the box and was unlucky not to score tonight, to go with his assist.

Lush Vlad Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Fair play to him. If there was any doubt about the final. I’d say he’s bagged himself a starting spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Just now, Newcastle Fan said: Good assist but still seems a bit away from full sharpness today. I thought he was very good. He was up against in my opinion one of the best right backs in the league. On Sunday he will be up against one of the worst defensive right backs in the league. He will torture TTA.

andycap Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 He seems to come alive when he is one on one with his opponent and can run or lay off the ball to then receive it. The one thing he has is quality and a brain can find players with something out of the blue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Displayname Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Involved in anything remotely dangerous tonight for us today. He isnt a player that can do everything by himself, he needs to be one of many threats we have which leaves him some space. Cant complain about what he made with what he was given today.

Kanj Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Nobody gets much joy off AWB. Barnes is canny with the cute and tight creative shit. But fuck me if he’s got one pop at goal Sunday it’s breaking the net. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Harvey. He is a very good player, maybe not elite. Eddie needs to get him minutes and figure out a path going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Trippier sucks at left back. Lesser of two evils putting him in his most comfortable position. Tino arguable has had more good games at left back than right. But his crossing is a weakness on both sides, but atleast he can carry the ball and I'd rather have him 1v1 on Salah than pretty much anyone else in the squad.

Trippier is even more painful at LB watch his England performances and Tino is the better defender facing Salah.

David Edgar Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 He was involved in 3 of our best chances yesterday. Header and a shot in the first half. Both on target and needed saving. Assist for Bruno. He has legit world class reading of the game in the final third. There is a hell of a player there which we are not maximising to facilitate Gordon.

mattypnufc Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I mean when he's on form he's good, but not a chance he's Gordon levels in terms of overall game when they're both on it. Had his best half for us in a long while last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had his best half for us in a long while last night. Two quite different players though. There's times where Barnes > Gordon and times where Gordon > Barnes, depending on the opposition. It's the Miley / Joelinton argument again, obviously Joelinton is the better player right now, but Joe can be so ineffective at times and you wonder if Miley would be a better fit. We should never in a million years be considering selling Harvey Barnes btw, I'm not sure we could find a better player to take his spot in the squad without taking a gamble on an "unknown" forrin (or going huge on someone obvious).
