# Leicester: Fans rip into Harvey Barnes after draw against Norwich

**Plenty of Leicester fans rounded on Harvey Barnes as their [eight-match winning run](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leicester-city/spielplan/verein/1003) in the Premier League came to an end this afternoon.**

The 22-year-old wide midfielder [came on for Dennis Praet at half-time](https://www.skysports.com/football/leicester-vs-norwich/teams/408145) 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](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1376296/LiveStatistics/England-Premier-League-2019-2020-Leicester-Norwich) during his 45 minutes against the Canaries but [did not get any of them on target](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1376296/LiveStatistics/England-Premier-League-2019-2020-Leicester-Norwich), while he [did not record any successful dribbles](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1376296/LiveStatistics/England-Premier-League-2019-2020-Leicester-Norwich) and found a team-mate with only [13 passes](https://www.sofascore.com/leicester-city-norwich-city/Gnf).

He has scored just [once in 16 games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harvey-barnes/leistungsdaten/spieler/398065) so far this season, despite making [11 Premier League starts](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harvey-barnes/leistungsdaten/spieler/398065), and Jordan Blackwell of [Leicestershire Live](https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/leicester-city-player-ratings-norwich-3644665) 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](https://www.90min.com/posts/6517605-leicester-1-1-norwich-city-report-ratings-and-reaction-as-canaries-frustrate-high-flying-foxes) 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:

> Lucky to even get a point from that. That match showed that we desperately need a winger in January, Barnes was a joke. [#lcfc](https://twitter.com/hashtag/lcfc?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)
