No he doesn't play the same position as Barker, he's a right winger, Hayes played on the left. Always.Quote:

Most of those clips show him playing on the left. I think it’s only because McInnes likes to play with inverted wingers he sometimes played on the right.Quote:

He certainly played most of his games on the left for Celtic (not sure if he really played that many games for them) but always played on the right for Aberdeen, Hayes is very left-sided by the looks of it.Quote:

Hardly a ‘wasted talent’. The guy is 30 years old and knew his concession would be limited but is getting one big payday before his career comes to an end. He wouldn’t have made a lot of money previously so who can blame him warming the bench for a bucketload of cash.Quote:

He does float about now and again and pop up in different areas but he certainly played mainly right wing for dons.
Didn't realise how old he was, still another good player celtic have snapped up and benched though.Quote:

Seems to do a lot of cutting in from the left for someone who plays on the right "every time"
We are more than a match for Celtic and they can stop them playing for us against them so if Rodgers is sensible he would loan us Hayes to shop window him for the summer if Lennon wished to drop an ever improving more disciplined Brandon Barker who is improving all aspect of his game each week and was a Scott Brown (aye he's done) 50 yard run back from skinning a Swedish international and setting up a tap in for Stokesy yesterday. I never thought I would say it either but if we have a long term choice of hendo or Barker I would go with - Henderson. I'm too weak though. Barker is the real deal. So is Liam'sQuote:

100% agree he needs to be involved more and add more steel though.
My take on the Barker situation and comparison with Boyle.
When Boyle gets the ball I get excited especially if he has an open field to run into. That rarely happened on Sunday against a very good defender. Still he did have some good forward runs.
In the first half with Barker I was similarly excited, but it never happened for him. By the second half I was getting quite negative about him, then he does his great run and almost sets up the goal.
Having great potential is great. We just need to see more.
I agree that Barker needs to add more end product and goals to his game - and get as frustrated as everyone else as he seems to have talent.
One thing that he does though, is have a reputation for speed (like Boyle) and what happens in many games is that teams try to double (or treble) up on him - this creates space for the midfield / strikers.
e.g. Murrays goal v Hearts

Boyle has been playing 1st team football and a high level for a few year , and Barker hasn’t. Brandon has a lot of catching up to doQuote:

Tavernier will be having nightmares that Lennon plays two up top and gives Stokes a bit of free role. I doubt he will be overly concerned with Barker as he has pace too.Quote:

Tavenier will be greeting before the match starts.
I would think Celtic’s full backs have not been so quiet in attack all season as they were on Sunday.Quote:
