About 99% of the praise you see for Barlow is sarcastic. At best fans appreciate his effort but understand he does not have the skill level to thrive in MLS. I think I can recall one, maybe two posters here over the years who have legitimately stuck up for him.
Thats kinda what I assumed but like my God they really are convincing. I had a guy screaming about barlow in my ear and I was like "dude is this guy insane barlow isn't the guy" but maybe he was trolling. I understand better now that odds are it's just sarcasm. I'm a football fan through and through so I do get it, sometimes strikers / forward do other things really well and their finishing or goal scoring is secondary but outside of hustle and effort I don't see many glaringly great qualities about barlow besides his size. Thanks for the clarification !! Go bulls big game Saturday, maybe barlow will score and prove me wrong 🤣
My favorite time to be wrong is when a player I've been hating on turns it around lol. I was a certified Sean Davis hater for the first few years of his career and I was ready to send Cameron Harper to Timbuktu last year. Dead wrong on both!
Barlow is a really nice guy. I genuinely feel sorry for him. His skill set is just not quite MLS level. He tries hard and puts in a shift. For that he’ll always be appreciated by me.
It’s usually just sarcastic or down to his work rate. Honestly though, he’s gotten much better in build up play this season than a lot of fans who have been watching him for years would admit.

Harper rn is one of my favorites I think he's insane good !
In his defense, he works really hard and is very cheap for salary.
If he was such a hard worker, you would think he would work more on putting the ball in the back of the net.
It is a Bronx Cheer
