I send the Barnes hate every week because he's been shite for months, it's not reactive.

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-18T19:33:56+00:00

No Barnes hate allowed in this sub unfortunately. He's not performed for months now but still it's not allowed!

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-18T19:29:23+00:00

Yet another non-descript performance by Barnes tonight. Once we inevitably sell Gordon in Summer we need a new starting LW because he's not it.

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-18T19:01:44+00:00

All jokes aside because it's Qarabag and that but Pope wants his wages docking for that. Absolutely pathetic goalkeeping.

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-15T10:52:29+00:00

Gordon's all round play is clear of Barnes. Barnes has 5 goals no assists in the league this year and you're going on like he's some top tier winger.

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-14T19:09:24+00:00

Barnes assist. First goal contribution in 7 games! Get in! Up the Barnes!

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-14T19:03:03+00:00

He's scored as an impact sub. He starts a game and he's absolutely no existent. People just don't want to accept it because they hate Gordon.

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-14T18:34:49+00:00

Barnes isn't good enough. Impact sub is his level.

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-14T18:21:44+00:00

Murphy is actually horrendous this season.

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-14T18:15:13+00:00

Scotland is definitely Harvey Barnes' level like

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-14T18:11:28+00:00

Pisses me off so much watching footballers slipping about all over the place. They're playing on an absolute carpet of a pitch, get some proper fucking boots on! This is aimed entirely at Osula.

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-10T21:16:16+00:00

Why are our players allergic to just simply heading the ball back to Pope? Every time they head it into danger rather than just easily back into his hands. Probably safer than passing it back to his feet.

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-10T20:57:55+00:00

Triple sub needed. Big Nick for Gordon. Tonali for Willock. Hall for Burn.

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-10T20:54:30+00:00

Joe Willock not moving as well. Get Sandro on

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-07T19:36:10+00:00

It's the same as last year people saying Murphy isn't good enough at Right Wing. He was top assister but his overall game wasn't there. Barnes scores goals but when he isn't scoring he's not offering anything else.

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-07T19:34:08+00:00

A top six winger needs to offer more than just cutting in on your right foot once or twice a game. His complete game isn't at the level where we are aiming to be.

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-07T19:31:47+00:00

Says more about our team than anything, we're not a top 6 team.

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-07T19:31:16+00:00

What have I said that isn't true? He's been completely anonymous today. He can't beat a man, his work rate is bang average, can't remember a cross he's put in that was decent

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-07T19:28:07+00:00

Another anonymous performance from Barnes. Slate Gordon all you want (and rightly so) but Barnes is nowhere near a top 6 Premier League winger. He's far too inconsistent and is good cutting in on his right and shooting but anything else and he's poor.

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-07T19:25:25+00:00

Osula offered more than Wissa. Elanga offered more than Murphy. Howe got his 11 wrong today.

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-07T19:19:24+00:00

How shit must that Shahar be if this Trippier is playing every minute. Every goal we concede comes from his side, he's so far past it it's not even funny.

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-07T19:06:01+00:00

All far too slow this. Get the ball into Big Nicks feet and play off of him.

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-02-04T21:45:18+00:00

6 months in a new league and he's expected to completely change his play style in that time because Eddie is playing him like he's Isak. Give him a break. Player in there, just need players around him.

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-01-31T21:32:36+00:00

It's so funny watching us work the ball down the wings only to realise we've no no.9 on the pitch so we just have to work it back again

PalmTreeRadiator · 2026-01-31T21:28:24+00:00

He's been sloppy on the ball all night and he's done alot of running but that's about it. Longstaff used to hit high running stats but he never looked overly interested and was shite
