From the source

Harvey Barnes has been splitting opinion within the Newcastle United fanbase for some time now. His goalscoring ability is undeniable and the winger continues to pop up in important moments, but there are some questions about whether he does enough across the rest of a 90-minute game.

Barnes was at it once again yesterday against Crystal Palace, scoring the Magpies’ second goal after having a rather anonymous game up until that point, which once again raised some rather pertinent social media discourse from Newcastle fans about his overall impact.

The first thing to note is that it’s very difficult to criticise Barnes no matter what you might think about his overall game, simply because there’s always a chance he pops up with a goal, even in his worst games.
