2025/26 Thierno Barry

Proper shift. Once we went to 10 men it was never gonna be about if he could break his scoring duck. It was about working hard, getting in shape, occupy the defenders.

Even when he tired, his last action was to throw himself at a Fernadez effort.

Excellent effort.
All of this can't be said for Beto who surprisingly just mostly jogged about - you'd expect him busting a gut here, quite disappointed from him.
 

Exactly what he needed. Wasn’t expected to get chances or finish. Just be part of the battle. Just enjoy working hard, communicating, backslapping and high fiving. Saw him telling the team to push out a bit a few times when he’d chased the ball into their half and made them slow down their build up. Hopefully growing in confidence and realising whilst he has to score very very soon, running yourself ragged goes a long way for Everton fans.

A couple of honest and likeable performances he’s put in now.
 

Won more aerial duels than any player in the league in just 3/4 of a game. Held the ball up well and kept posession and did a lot of clever blocking and closing down. Beto comes on and loses posession and then loses it again.
 
I must be watching a different game to all you lot.

I’m sat here thinking the same thing. Must of missed all this link up play admittedly I’m not paying 100% attention to the game but a couple of times I think he’s been poor.

We just need him to get hold of it to take a bit of pressure off, but it comes back as soon as it goes into him. Granted it’s a solid job playing upfront on your own, even more so with 10 men.

As I’m typing they’ve just said he’s won 14 duels so maybe we have missed it 🤣

Not too sure what game you lads were watching but he did great tonight. A proper shift in difficult circumstances.

As I said wasn’t fully watching it, but I did watch the last match where he also had a “great” game when the reality is he did ok. Imagine we had a player like Eze this forum would go into complete meltdown 😂
