One of the best left backs in the league, so aye u21 is beneath him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing that as Sky Sports and others have been wheeling out the "World Cup starting XI" stuff over the last week or so that no-one that I've seen has mentioned Hall as even a possibility for the squad, it's all O'Reilly or Lewis-Skelly. Tuchel seems very unlikely to play James LB to accommodate Trent so I don't see any way Hall (save for perhaps Tino) won't be the starting LB in the summer if he's fit and has a strong rest of the season, even the mackems I know think Hall is England's best LB!

Not got traction as he’s not been in any Tuchel squad. If he’s fit and has a run of games up to March, whilst playing in Europe and potentially big showings against the elite sides, the narrative will change. Would say James / Tino and Hall / O’Rielly are potentially the full backs if fit come summer. MLS lost his place as he won’t be a regular at club level and Tuchel won’t care about not picking TAA because James is the guy he has full confidence in.

Cf Posted November 22, 2025 Share Posted November 22, 2025 One of our best players making us look like a better team shocker. Wrap this guy in cotton wool whilst also getting the maximum out of him. See also Livramento, V. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOTONEW Posted November 22, 2025 Share Posted November 22, 2025 He's absolutely one of our best signing, this era. So so good at many different elements of the game. But he can read the game so well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted November 22, 2025 Share Posted November 22, 2025 So happy to see him back. Think he’ll rightly be on bench mid week, but should be starting all prem games moving forward. Him and Tino are levels above and give us an attacking dynamic that teams have to be worried about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted November 22, 2025 Share Posted November 22, 2025 Giving him at least 50% of the credit for Barnes performance today. He's impossibly good going forward and it makes the left wingers job so much easier and affords them more options and space constantly. Tremendous performance.

Newcastle Fan Posted November 22, 2025 Share Posted November 22, 2025 Superb today and continues the form he had before injuries, hopefully we don't resort to anything stupid like bringing Tripper and Burn back to his and Tino's positions unless we absolutely have to.

Lush Vlad Posted November 22, 2025 Share Posted November 22, 2025 Could find space in a phone box with the ball. He’s always had good feet. But I’ve really noticed a few times this season. Just how good he is on the ball under pressure. Just shifts it past players with ease. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
