Barnes not taking any more Pens

[bWize]

According to Gus...Doesn't sound happy

 

[DumLum]

Gus' fault as he shouldn't even be on the pitch.

 

[Bruntburger]

Exactly this

Exactly.. It's been staring Gus (and everyone else) in the face for ages now and Gus just continues to play Barnes because he can't admit he is wrong and lets his ego get in the way imho

I think removing him as penalty taker does show that he knows he was wrong.

 

[Jesus Gul]

He was solid last season though in penalties...Mr Reliable

Missed one v Saints year before?

 

[nevergoagain]

just drop the c u nt

All sorts of THIS

 

[Mellotron]

I don't see why we even bother with penalties anymore.

 

[guster]

We seem to score more when they are powered, we miss the ones we try to place in the bottom corner.

That was Chris Wood

just drop the c u nt

off a bridge

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Murray missed a few for us also. Barnes should take no more, low to the left every single time. Hammond took a good pen first time around.

It was Reading, but it was well saved. He beat Pepe Reina from the spot last season, but doesn't take them with the same authority anymore.

 

[nwgull]

Miss was bad, but for him to then pass the rebound straight back to the same side where the keeper was still on the floor was incredible.

 

[veade]

So next week when Craig misses we will slag him of shall we .... Whenever i heard a goal scoring chance It's Barnes in the right positions more than Craig is

Barnes has sent his penalty kicks low to the left, low to the right and scored and had them saved in both directions. His last one, v Leicester, went the other side. He actually has a fair bit of variety in his penalties. Probably too much, should stick to his leeds/liverpool tactic.

So next week when Craig misses we will slag him of shall we ....

Experience this season (Leeds) would suggest not.

Just ego? Nothing to do with workrate and everything else he adds to the team? I don't disagree that he could do with some time on the bench but Gus picks him for a reason and Dobbie in front of Painter would have been very weak.

Never said 'Just ego' but he is clearly blinkered when it comes to Barnes and refuses to smell the coffee (which I think is down to some ego). Dobbie or Hoskins must be wondering what the f*** is going on sat on the bench every game whilst Barnes gets to start every week and produces very little (even from penalties) I like Barnes, but it clearly isn't working

 

[stss30]

He didn't look confident at all today and it was a terribly weak penalty. We'd be much better off getting one of the centre backs to smash it and hope for the best.

 

[Sussax]

It was a bad pen, but the rebound was unforgivable.
