Exactly my point. Proven top class players who struggled to adapt to the league at first. Yet we expect Barry to just hit the ground running? No one disagrees he needed hooking at half time on Sunday. But also doesn’t mean we need to write him off like some people are.

Im not sure it’s a lack of motivation. The ask of Barry and Beto on Sunday would have been completely different. Moyes will have given Barry instructions based on how we could win the game from a starting point of 0-0. He might have been told to keep to certain areas of the pitch, only press at...

Not saying he’s ever going to reach the same level but maybe important to note that even Thierry Henry struggled when moving to prem. It took him 8 games before he scored and even then he didn’t really get going until Christmas. Numerous interviews in which he has spoken about the difficulty...

I think he loses the ball quite a lot - often in dangerous situations - which isn’t great for us as teams who struggle against transition at times. I also think he struggles following instructions and generally with the tactical side of the game - which is why Moyes isn’t sold on him. He...

Club need to look at the corporate situation, pricing strategy and lack of a general sale in the summer. Crazy the amount of seats, given the demand is there. They’ve created a bizarre set of rules where it’s nearly impossible for season ticket holders to bring friends and family for a one off...

I don’t rate him but he changed the game today. Problem is, he starts the next game and stinks the gaff out. Would love to see the Charley we saw today every game.

absolutely nothing wrong with that quote if you provide the wider context of the conversation.

Haha. If people like it sound, a few venues catering to that is great but it’s every single venue. You can’t hear yourself think. Miss the black horse

My biggest gripe is the venues around it. Just want somewhere I can have a pint and talk with my mates. Not some Jonhead on a guitar blaring down my ears.

People’s expectations of atmosphere just because it’s a new, bigger stadium are crazy. Plenty of games at goodison like last night. The issue is made worse by the fact people are still getting their bearings. Plus lots of games have been moved for tv so fans are passing on or selling tickets...

I imagine this is the reason Thierry Henry decided to highlight him on Monday Night Football after the Brighton game.

WSL rules mean that they have to play two games a season at the men’s ground. Obviously this was in place before a women’s team had their own top level ground,

I think he should still start on Monday. With our inform creative players feeding him. Not doubt last night will have knocked his confidence so would be good to show a bit of belief.

Never ever understood why we bring young strikers into games like this when you change the whole team around them. It’s always poor; the team looks disjointed and doesn’t create much. Does nothing for the young lads confidence too. He’s looks far better with a better side around and that’s...

To some extent maybe it was. There is every chance that he wasn’t a priority and that money was earmarked for another position. However, we couldn’t find a suitable player in that position so it was decided to take the opportunity to purchase Dibling now, rather than wait and potential miss...
