What I found interesting about Barnes today is that he did not seem to be a speed merchant who uses his oace to get on the outside of a full back. Instead, he seems more of a foot on the ball wide man who likes to come inside and get a shot off, or to work with the players around him to create and crsft changes.
He did have a go at the full back a few times, but there seemed to be a bit of variety about his play which was impressive.
He will give defenders something a little different to think about this season and give a different option to Burke or Phillips.
