I think he was a bit too patient on that Wilson chance, and Wilson got too close to the GK because of that. Wilson probably should've scored still, and it was a great save. Barnes was amazing though, what a threat he will be.

 

 

 

Aye, I reckon the reason he didn’t release it sooner is he’s so used to shooting himself there and I think he was weighing up the whole time whether to go himself or release it even though he knew releasing it was the right move

Absolutely thrilled we have this guy. The right player at the right time.

Me too.

His finishing is superb.

Leicester fans being genuinely chuffed he did well feels weird

That's why the second time around I was shouting "just go for it this time!" Better than hesitating. And he didn't hesitate at all that time around.

Barnes doing well. Tielemans just reminding us of what we won't miss

Looks like the entire front six is sorted for at least 2-3 seasons, unless we scout a relative bargain in the meantime.

Not enough negativity in this post Beth, 3/10, be better

They hate tielemans lol. Feels like he;s their Wijnaldum, he may well be good for Villa (and i don't think emery will tolerate shit performances) but the reputation seems to exceed what he actually did, he did seem to check out for them for quite some time.

Honestly, I can’t understand why Villa signed him.  He was powderpuff every time I saw Leicester last season.  Leicester were one of those sides you get every so often where they go down but have some really good players.  Tielemans wasn’t one of them.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Howe’s been on him about how you have to keep the ball moving in Newcastle’s system and it’s been messing with his head

I can see why some people may consider Barnes boring but when you look at his goal involvements today he's just efficient, beautiful in it's simplicity.

 

First goal took a bullet pass in one touch out of his feet allowing him to play a perfectly weighted pass to lay a goal on a plate for Wilson.

 

Second goal he gets the ball 40 yards out, in 2 touches he's at the 6 yard box never needing to break stride and ensuring that he's able to get a clean strike away that has enough power that even a touch from the keeper can't keep out.

 

I think if you put ASM in those scenarios at least one would result in a missed opportunity. That's the evolution of the side in a nutshell, we don't need a winger to create something out of nothing anymore, the team creates now, we just need someone to get in the right positions and make it count when they do.

Did anyone have a morsel of doubt about him finishing that chance today? Clinical as fuck, should get a bagful this season with the creative talent behind him. Some sensational competition in that position, cos Gordon was brilliant too.

I was debating in my head whether he would put it in the near or far post. Had zero doubt it was going in though. 

[Ben]

With the games we have to play this season i could honestly see him getting 15 + goals

As soon as the pass was played, before he even took a touch to control it, I thought "goal".

Haven’t seen it back but still annoyed he didn’t do it when Wilson had his saved.

Poor form as an archer through, he lets go of the handle of the bow, and not the string.

[Gallowgate Toon]

He's going to be a monster for us in the final third.

Agreed! Thought the topless guy had better technique myself.

[cubaricho]

I think eventually he’ll be starting on the left with Gordon on the right in place of wor Miggy. 

 

It won’t be soon but if Miggy drops form that’s what’ll be done I reckon. Hopefully it keeps him firing and running his ass off.

Nothing boring about him at all!

 

Was exciting every time he got in behind with his runs. Love his movement off the ball.

[Andy84]

Absolutely no doubt he’d score when he went through

Relaxed when I saw him coming on at half time.
