2025/26 Thierno Barry




Gonna need to see him burn about a dozen clear one-on-ones before I can start comparing him to DCL in that regard. His work in the air and link up play is as good as Dom’s was already though.

He’s getting maybe one half-chance a match at the moment. He is fighting for confidence but his teammates don’t have confidence in him either so the early balls are never coming. In the meantime though he clearly makes us better than Beto and should continue playing as many minutes as possible. One goal could open up into a few quickly.
 
He’s slowly improving but still well off the required standard. I applaud Moyes for sticking with him for a few on the bounce, though. The optimist in me says there’s a world in which he comes good enough to be unquestionable first choice by next season.
There definitely is a world in which that happens. I think he looks like a decent footballer in a general sense and he’s got some good points, it’s definitely not out of the question that he shows himself to be a decent PL player. He doesn’t look like a goal scorer though and that’s an issue for us at the moment. Turn him into someone who can score 10 and add more players who can score around him and he could work out but I’d be surprised if he turns out to be a 15 goal a season player because he just hasn’t shown how those goals would come.
