Plenty of Leicester fans rounded on Harvey Barnes as their eight-match winning run in the Premier League came to an end this afternoon.
The 22-year-old wide midfielder came on for Dennis Praet at half-time in the Foxes’ 1-1 draw at home to Norwich and failed to make much of an impact at the King Power Stadium.
Barnes had three shots during his 45 minutes against the Canaries but did not get any of them on target, while he did not record any successful dribbles and found a team-mate with only 13 passes.
He has scored just once in 16 games so far this season, despite making 11 Premier League starts, and Jordan Blackwell of Leicestershire Live said that “his dribbling was not as effective as usual, while his shooting was again off the mark” against Norwich.
Matt O’Connor-Simpson of 90min.com also took a dim view of Barnes’ performance, giving him only a five in his player ratings, and these Leicester fans on Twitter expressed their displeasure at the 22-year-old’s display this afternoon:

Sign a winger in January I beg Harvey Barnes isn’t good enough.

Lucky to even get a point from that. That match showed that we desperately need a winger in January, Barnes was a joke. #lcfc

Do you think Barnes was poor today? Is he good enough to be starting regularly for Leicester? Have your say by commenting below!
