Agree. I think Barnes has been key for us this season, but in a different way. I've loved some of his interventions more recently, but that 25 harder yesterday made me smile because he was buzzing with confidence and hunger.
More skill, guile and ability? Why single Barnes out?
Personally I think there are a number of fans who love to think they've spotted a donkey. Once they have that notion of a player, it's hard for them to see past that accept that time and earth doesn't stand still.
