Lotus Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I’m just happy whoever plays LW has to earn it because there’s another player right behind him with quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 1 hour ago, WilliamPS said: I thought he did very well. Surprised by comments that he drifted in/out as I thought he was busy and very involved in the attacking play. If he does well against Brentford he will keep the starting spot - that is how Howe has tended to work in the past - if you’re playing well you keep the spot. TBF, my comments were more about him in general and week to week. The front 3 were all very in and out of the game. Due to how we set up. But I thought they all did well to maximise the opportunities we had. Even if they were feeding off scraps at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Won the corner BDB scored from Lovely weighted pass for Tino to cross for the Isak goal Isn't a twat like Maddison 10/10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 He had a cracking game, hopefully he hits some form now and gets us CL. I don't feel its fair Gordon has been starting week in week out even when he's been a bit poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 If he's happy with his role, we have to keep him. If not, I think we'd get close to what we paid for him at least from someone like a West Ham or Everton in the summer. Not many clubs with quality like Gordon and Barnes in that position. Personally happy with whichever plays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 He seemed to play a lot closer to isak at times, almost like a 4-4-2. Thought it was one of his finest performances so far, should have probably had a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring in Europe next season will give him enough games that hopefully both of them can regularly perform at a good level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Barnes was absolutely class. His movement was fantastic and his tight dribbling is better than I realized. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Hasn't been shouted about as much mainly because of the performance of others, but he worked his fucking socks off. Him and Tino down that left hand side just made them worry all game long. Strong, direct, smart. I've not watched it all back but I'm sure he found Tino on every overlap. If he wanted to get to the line as well he got there. Of course he stepped up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Tino is rightly getting plaudits for his performances at LB but I'm wondering how much that is down to having Barnes in front of him rather than Gordon.
