Substance over style. All day everyday.
Both have substance just different styles
asm always causes unreal chances we just never really had players to finish off the passes he puts in, look at games like the man city game for an example for how good he can be when he’s given the chance to be
You didn’t max isn’t just style he is both just not substance in the box he does other things
Not fun to watch
You would hate Zidane and Ronaldinho then😂
He’s an Eddie Howe type player Hardworking off the ball Good finisher and knows when to give a pass that’s why ASM never worked under Eddie
ASM never worked in general
asm always causes unreal chances we just never really had players to finish off the passes he puts in, look at games like the man city game for an example for how good he can be when he’s given the chance to be
Hes an every manager type player
@baskingball1526 he was to inconsistent. Barnes has shown how much better he is already. Maxi wasnt happy. Was clear to see
@@graemewelch123 maxi was very happy fym
Thanks for no cringe loop at the end. You're the Harvey Barnes of youtube shorts. No frills, just consistency.
😂

You guys have literally nailed how to get high quality player/football tactical insights to an audience in a snappy, simple and engaging format - keep up the unreal work team!!!
Hate to see him leave but I think every Newcastle fan is going to remember him for a long time to come. He was such an exciting part of watching their games
Completely useless player, all show no output. You can’t hide from the data. This is a financial fair play fudge to allow them to significantly upgrade without consequence
@shanemackk did you call him useless 3 seasons ago?
@@petestreet100 you mean the year he scored 3 goals … yes I have always thought it was all style no substance. Long mazy, attention grabbing runs and next to zero final product.
@shanemackk no end product but yet he created space for others and if only they scored from the chances he created 🤫
@@petestreet100 that’s a long bow and doesn’t line up with Newcastles wish to remove him
The Give-and-Go shots stat is exactly the reason I’m subscribed. Quality every time
the problem about Maxi's assist stats for ppl who don't watch newcastle play all the time, is that they won't know it's due to the likes of Willock and Longstaff missing a ton of absolute sitters. Maxi was also injured a lot last season when we also have Isak and Joelinton to play on the left wing, so he didn't get a lot of minutes, but last season had a pretty decent return per 90.

It's an unfair comparison to start with tbh. Any dribbler is likely to have much poorer overall stats than a 1-2 passer. Dribbling from a deep position is taking the game by the scruff of its neck. You have to ride more challenges and your final pass is likely to be under immense pressure. The benefit is often less direct - it pulls opponents out of position and opens up gaps for others to exploit. Hoping Barnes can be great for us anyway of course but I'm not having any negging of ASM.
I'm WBA and Harvey is wonderful. Put great shifts in with us . If you haven't seen his play while with us , please check it . I wish him all the luck in the world .. absolute class cherish him.
He’s a great player excited to see him play
Barnes is a darn good move for Newcatle. God barns it!!
NEW has made some shrewd signings this summer - quality over quantity
The only thing I’d say about Harvey Barnes as a Leicester fan, is that when he doesn’t score or assist he doesn’t really offer the team much, and only really contributes in a 1/3 of games, he’s a good player for a upper mid table side but he’s not elite imo, we will see what Ed can do tho Cus he’s transformed a lot of average players last season!
I've heard this a few times, I guess time will tell, especially the way Howe develops players - I feel the way Newcastle attack will suit Barnes perfectly and his numbers might end up being even better while Howe pushes him to massively improve his weaknesses, then of course there's the outcome what you're talking about where he goes missing and doesn't do a lot until he scores/assists which will totally be worth it if he can help us turn a few draws into wins
Hope he does good for Newcastle next season 🦊
The people who expect Saint-Maximin to be a Mo Salah type player, and criticise him for not being that, are a bit silly. It's perfectly fine for Howe to not want what Saint-Maximin is, but it doesn't take away from him genuinely being a great player.
Good video mate! Exact comparisons 👌🏼
I don't recall the opponent (Aston or Hammers) where Barnes had that great first touch on the sideline, immediately took it in front of goal and had a cool finish. Class player.
He’s been electric in preseason, really exciting signing
Very sad ASM decided to move away from the prem, great player
Excited for Barnes and what he can bring,but will always love Maxi. Was a bright light in our darker times 🖤🤍 Bit of a maverick on the pitch, but a great talent and a top bloke
One of those also played under Steve Bruce for a few years
JJ got a haircut, nice
I watched him play, seriously works well defending from the front, picks great passes, and poses great annoyance to opposition defenders
where can i find stats like give & go??
ASM is really effective against low block team and higher prifile team like man city
Over the moon with this signing
As a Manchester United fan I must say Eddie is cooking something tasty bro Livramento,Barnes and Tonali I do think you guys need an extra centre back tho
@@ItsJesssee definitely need competition for Schar & probably a Left back too. I'm just hoping we can get a top 6 finish and out of the groups in the UCL.
I wouldn’t mind targett at LB with burn and lascelles covering CB. Ideally we get a LB and a CB. This livramento talk makes me think we want an inverted left back. He’s a RB who’s right footed. At left back he would be intriguing
@@5aturnia definitely would be, I'd rather Tripps filled in at lb and Livramento got the RB spot if we get him, I'm unsure Targett or Burn can do a job as 1st choice lb in the UCL but they're absolutely solid squad players, I reckon we'll sign two more hopefully a CB & lb 🤞
Call me selfish but i want both 😔 damn you FFP
Harvey’s good lad! Give him more time for him to score many goals
I'm still taking Saint Maximan. He's output might not be the same but he offers you a runner up the field who can hold the ball and occupy defenders well. Barnes does not give you those things at all. At Leicester he consistently loses the ball, he's movement is good and he's an okay finisher but overall he ain't the better player
He just scored 1 goal AND assist in his debut after coming at 70 mins. Lessssgooooo....
It's weird. From what I've heard about Saint-Maximin, I expected him to dribble everywhere and do tricks, but I didn't know he was so generally creative. Sure he can't shoot at all, but he's overperforming compared to his xAG, plays a lot of progressive passes (springs from deep positions?), he's 95th percentile for long pass completion, 96th for assists, 88th for key passes, 97th for passes into the penalty area, 77th for through balls, 96th for shot-creating actions via live passing and 94th for goal-creating actions via live passing. Whereas Barnes on the other hand cannot pass at all, but is in the 90s for a bunch of shooting related stats, and ranks highly for goals created via fouls won and defensive actions. I really expected Barnes to be more of a neat and tidy wide playmaker type with little direct carrying.
Lifelong Toon fan. Like 40 plus years. Was not a big fan of ASM. To me he looked like even he didnt know what he was going to do next.Barnes is by far a better player. A great signing for us. He'll score more this season than ASM did in the last four. He had his moments dont get me wrong. But look how Barnes has slipped in like a velvet glove.
He is absolutely mad on that wing it’s been ages since I’ve seen a winger that dosent do daft skills and just gets the job done
Hey, pls explain if/why and how sabitzer is a good transfer for dortmund.
Saint Maximin is French, he’s obviously built for these flashy street skills, but Barnes is the classic English baller who isn’t classy but very productive
Really could see Newcastle go far in champions league this year this signing and the tonali signing a big one as well
JJ's fresh haircut makes him look slightly less insane, but only slightly.
Omg I quite literally did a spit take when he said “dribbliest boy of all”
Under-rated player for sure
While I love your videos (and correct me if I’m wrong!) - every “why x signing” video is always positive. Surely there are some mistakes being made by clubs?!
Everyone who’s screaming at Newcastle for selling their ‘wonderboy’ for some ‘average’ winger will look so stupid come end of the season, i recon barnes is gonna be class for us, he’s the perfect player for Eddie Howe
ok..still waiting
@@bani491 he’s been injured lad behave, scored on his debut and he assisted, looks good to me
Eddie Howe already changing the system. Focus on defense last season finishing 4th and now adding the technical players needed for a better possession base team this season like it was at Bournmouth
Barnes probably doesn't stand out much in practice. But he's just always in the right place at the right time and tends to make the right decision in those critical moments. It's why highly skilled freestylers aren't professional players.
Going to be a corker young Harvey. Maxi was the good looking skilful player with not much end product. He served us well though. Up the Newcastle revolution. The giant is awoken 💪
New Castle United is doing some of the best recruitments after take over
Great signing for Newcastle.
I’m so glad I bought him on fifa career mode
The thing is sure he scored once but that’s just bc of his play time he didn’t have much time on the pitch
it a lost cause. Newcastle lack of goals is already showing. Letting Maxi go was an mistake literally.
Completely ignoring that ASM had five assists to Barnes one?
Will do well
Interesting. I saw some games last year and thought ASM was amazing. Numbers don't lie though.
I really like Saint maximin. If only his finishing was better he'd be an elite player
Will both Wilson and Isak start then?
That shirt looks wrong without Adidas stripes on the sleeves.
If ASM can pass and have a good vision he would be top 5 left winger in the world
Maximists need to see sense. ASM was good comparatively.
Calling Dr Barnes, the goose is moosing about again, thanks Doc
The thing with these dribbly players is that they are deadset on dribbling past defenders, hence not making the right decisions when they need to pass or whatever. Look at Grillish, Saka, Silva, and how they dribble yet pass or run when they should
According to Tifo, every signing this summer is great 🙄
nice haircut JJ Bull
Newcastle will be scary this season.
Flash versus cash. I'll take cash, thank you.
I'm tired of explaining this to people
Whey aye man
So went from a dribbly boy who donated balls to the fans behind the goal to a player that sits on a sideline untill he can contribute to the game, got it.
And that's why 2000's is more memorable than now in terms of football. Such a boring game to watch 90+min game without exciting part
He gonna score an equaliser
Saint Maximin is playing the wrong type of football if all he does is run
Having watched ASM a lot I can attest to a fair amount of cognitive distortion re. his performance. Although he can be “exciting to watch” he is actually way more “really, really frustrating to watch”
No idea why Liverpool didn't sign him
because we're better and will stay better
Do you still think that way?
Why do you look like courtois
Asm tricked all the players on the field including his team mates. His passes can't connect 50% of the time
JJ's eyes are bluer than usual
Really could have used him against City to create chances for Harvey get the ball stolen off him every time Barnes. Of course this dweeb likes Barnes so much.
Noo saint maximum
I liked maxi he was certainly entertaining …. Harvey is a step up in the end product…. HWTL
Dan james but better
Very well said young Craig Ferguson.
Nice to get £30m for a guy no one would take for £5… Saudi corruption going strong 👍
I thought i heard "white" players😅
😂😂
✊🏻the chosen race
I thought you said white players
Lmao, I heard "white" players
Barnes is like Salah. Not flashy but clinical. But idiots rate Salah lower because he's not flashy. Hopefully, now young players and Academy coaches will use Salah as an example of how to be a legendary winger.
