alexf Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Did wonder if his first pen was abit of a fluke. I guess that probably answers it. Look great if they come off but there's a reason people don't go that high with pens often as the margins of error is tiny. Apart from that I thought he tried hard to say was still running hard even in extra time and that assist was perfect. Clearly suits that role more. Just have to see if we can adapt to it in the long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we looked better on the ball in general. Found it easier to work space and find a man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I feel bad for him like, he gets a lot of rough treatment, which isn't punished, then the moment he's stronger than someone else the ref gives a free kick. Don't think he's in great form, but when he manages to get those little pockets of space with movement off him he's great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how things work here, Gordon put a great ball in to grab an assist and put us ahead, then he's shite and should be sold tomorrow for not finishing what looked like a sitter. I say looked because I didn't see if the defender got something on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandrotastico Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 2 hours ago, PCW1983 said: His ball for Barnes’s first goal was sublime. A beautiful pass and definitely something we see very little of in our team - that kind of vision. Otherwise, I found him poor again. He refuses to attack a header, he rarely sprints into the box to attack a cross and he still jumps with his head under his shoulders. He needs a to toughen up, play quicker, mix up his game and release the ball earlier. Technically, he's great - but he needs to grab the game and do more.

He was fine when playing behind Wissa but once he was pushed up front by himself all his limitations as a 9 became apparent. Numerous times in second half we countered with pace on the wings and he was jogging slowly from the centre circle about 20 yards behind, nowhere near the penalty box. Happened loads last 60 minutes and everyone around me was screaming to get forward with some urgency. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
