Well, there is that. Or now we have a real threat on the right, we could drop him in order to try a misfiring player in a position he's never tried before.
It's a real poser, that one

Did you forget we signed Tete?
I think the times Barnes has been on his best form were when he had Chilwell or JJ on good attacking form playing behind him - a full back that will make runs, get behind him, double up and even go beyond him. He's good at that close play with a full back and using that space to find opportunities.
Hopefully the new left back helps him get back to form.

Wout makes Florid Garth’s team of the week. He did a good job on Kane considering he was on a booking for most of the game.
In the days of yesteryear, strikers such as Chelsea's Ian Hutchinson or the great Peter Osgood, and a good many others, sacrificed themselves on the altar of hubris, vendettas and chasing lost causes. They have been replaced by those who work by the motto: Pick your battles - you'll play longer.
This was a tackle of such precision by and magnitude by Faes that it not only won Leicester the ball but created a goal out of nothing. Best tackle I've seen in years.

Agreed and it has certainly proved your point thus far although I think I made this comment before Tete signed. Kristiansen has proved an absolute game changer and has protected the weak side of Barnes game. It is great to see Barnes with his confidence up ,if he now starts to knuckle down and work hard on his delivery the sky really is the limit imo.

Rodgers basically outright admitting Maddison is ****ing off in the summer:

First time I’ve really thought about him leaving. I’ll be gutted. What a player.

Perhaps he will leave and go and not play for someone else.

We only have Tete until the end of the season too.
Not many of them are actually playing regularly.
Not sure Vestergaard or Soyuncu will be missed. They've not here now.
Evans is always injured.
Until very recently Nacho, Mendy and Preat have hardly played either.
I think this is a positive thing. These players are on high wages and need to move on for us to progress.

I absolutely think Amartey should be given a new contract.
He's not kicking up a fuss when not playing (as far as we know) and he's good enough to be 4th/5th choice centre back - which is the role he's meant to be here for. It's not his fault he's been overused. When he's played the odd game, he's been adequate as cover.
We need someone to be down the pecking order in that position and I doubt we'll find much better that's willing to play that role, so as long as his wages aren't too high I'd renew his contract for sure.
Even if we could bring someone in to replace him as that squad player role, it would probably cost us more and that's not a good use of funds.

He was signed as a midfielder who could play at right back. He only ended up in central defence when we had no other options - despite playing well there for Ghana.
