CincinnatiTakes three shots in draw
Barlow had three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Seattle Sounders FC.
Analysis: Barlow received another opportunity up front but had minimal impact on Cincinnati's attack before making way for Ayoub Jabbari. The forward failed to put his lone attempt on target, and that kind of production makes it hard to justify keeping him in the XI, both in fantasy and real life. With Kevin Denkey also available, don't be surprised if Barlow moves to the bench when Cincinnati takes on Nashville SC on Saturday.
Scores, assists as sub
Barlow scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Saturday's 4-2 victory versus San Jose Earthquakes.
Analysis: Barlow subbed on in the second half and played only 20 minutes, but scored his sixth goal in the season and logged his first assist to help Cincinnati earn the comeback win at home. The forward logged his ninth appearance off bench in a row and now has 18 overall, with five starts.
Scores as substitute in win
Barlow scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 6-2 victory over Orlando City.
Analysis: Barlow came off the bench and capped the home side's scoring with a one-touch finish in stoppage time Saturday. The striker now has three goals across his last 52 minutes of league action and is averaging a goal every 115 minutes this season. Those numbers have strengthened his case as a valuable depth option capable of complementing or replacing starter Kevin Denkey when needed.
Scores brace
Barlow scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus San Diego FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 90th minute.
Analysis: Barlow came on at halftime in Saturday's 3-3 draw at Snapdragon Stadium and delivered the most impactful individual performance of the match, first converting Evander's precise corner in the second half to give his side a 2-1 lead, before equalizing in stoppage time at 3-3 after latching onto Ayoub Jabbari's pass and rifling a finish into the net to deny San Diego a win. The American forward operates as an aggressive, physical target striker off the bench who thrives on service into the box and has built a reputation for decisive late contributions in manager Pat Noonan's system. Barlow has now scored four goals across 14 MLS appearances this season.
