No. 1, you haven't clarified anything to me at all. If you really want me to go into all manner of ways a small touch, however insignificant it may seem, can effect a ball whether it is meant or not then I can but we'd both be bored out of our skull and I'm not sure you'd understand the physics. No. 2, I'm not 'clinging on' to anything, I am using facts. Simple, truthful, concrete, uncomplicated, easy to understand, quantifiable facts. Not tenuous, theoretical, opinionated nonsense based on guess work and heresay. No. 3, your opinion of Barnes is for you to construct and that's fine. I have no idea why you think I should either concur or take this as evidence that the statistics are wrong. You spent a year trying to convince me and others that your opinion about Puel being a decent manager was correct; we all know how that worked out for you. No. 4, I don't know why you're so cross! I think you need to relax a little sunshine.
I don't need to justify my opinions about a player to you. Once again,. I'm not sure why you think I should. I don't care what you think or feel or pretend to know, I was quoting facts before you launched into your post. Don't play the victim, your post was both inflammatory and illogical. The irony of what you have written above shouldn't be lost on you but somehow, I guess it might be.Jeez, no wonder this place is so dead!
Hopefully you will be able to read this from high up on your horse...
Many posters have commented that Barnes' fresh air attempt from Saturday does not warrant an assist. I was just emphasising this point, which the majority appeared to agree with.
Having a difference of opinion does not equate to someone being cross, I'm most certainly not so I'm not sure why you have to end with trying to belittle me?
You could have come back and listed which games where Barnes has played so well in and you know, actually had a debate about things but it seems 'one-upmanship' is more important to you.
Him and Perez have been our two weakest players so far this season and if we want to break into the top 4, we need to improve on our weaker areas, seems something entirely logical to discuss.

0 goals and 1 assist don’t you know.We'd be better decisioning what Perez bought to the table rather than what Barnes did...
