Though have to say I loved ASM and when we sold him his FB ref stats over the past year on assists, xAssists, chances created & progressive carries per 90 were actually really, really good. Like 90th % plus in all of those. He was entertaining as hell, but he also made things happen, even if he didn't score that many himself.

 

 

 

 

It wasn't meant as a shot at ASM.

 

I just love that gif. It's so funny.

 

ASM was one of the few bright spots during some very dark times.

Yeah loved everything about that 3rd goal. Our midfield hounding, Tonali nicking it away, Bruno threading a lovely ball back into Tonali who has the vision to pick out Barnes. Then Barnes just going prime R9 with the power and speed, step over and low left foot finish.

Loved him leathering one in with his left, he can generate power and score with either foot, definition of efficiency and class this lad, so glad for him he's finally getting a run in the team.

Would people agree that Barnes is our second best finisher? And best finisher off his weaker foot?


Definitely.

This is the player Eddie signed. His run in this team since Gordon’s red has been absolutely brilliant. Standing up and stepping up.

Wtf are you on about, you halfwit? 

Gordon right next to Bruno when the cup was lifted, going ballistic. He's enjoyed it all which was great to see given he missed it. 


Glad someone said it, just making shit up. Gordon was absolutely loving it.

In the league, he’s got 21 attacking returns in the equivalent of 22.6 games. Murphy-esque in his output.
 

Gordon has 39 in 56 for context.

Soon as he got the ball on that left flank and dribbled towards the defender, you just knew he'd make a yard and blast it into the bottom pocket. He's one of the best finishers I can recall us having at the club.

For his goal last night the palace defender literally does everything right. Then he Laurent Robert's it in-off on his weaker foot. He's nigh on impossible to defend against one on one like that.

 

Love players that use their weaker foot. As someone who claimed he was too right sided with his feet it’s great when they deviate and work on their weaker side. 

 

OG and first Man Utd goal all coming from his left also.

That's was another one of those where he knew he was scoring so may as well do so with aplomb

only ever heard that word in football.

Salah, Haaland, Isak & Wood are the only players with a better goals per minute this season. Lethal.

Why are they not showing min/goal instead. Everyone at 0.01 is so useless [emoji38]

Been trying to think ever since what goal it reminded me of. Kept coming up with Shearer for Blackburn v Chelsea with Gullit diving in because Shearer checked a second before smashing it in and realised just now it was a Robert goal against someone where he just blooted it through the keeper.

Barnes goal was way better than both. Power and accuracy unerring.

They've robbed him of an assist for Guehi's own goal :bob:

No surprise really, his stats were very good for Leicester prior to him coming here. Think he got 13 goals in a season? Potentially he can get 10-15 goals for us next season.


He’ll do that this season.
