2025/26 Thierno Barry

[pfim]

Guess we will have to just be glad of the finishing and feed him chances, hope his all round game improves.

He does look horrendously uncoordinated when on a bit of a break dribbling at the last defender. It like he knows he should take them on, but genuinely scared he will fall over.

Cracking finish today though. More confident he gets, might get a bit more arrogance and aggression out of him.

He's 6'5", look at Mateta running with the ball, it's a bit more coordinated but much slower...

He should be looking to release other players and getting into the box.

While his general play can feel a bit clumbsy at times I do think he's genuinely getting better over time. Maybe it is just the confidence of getting a few goals.

The lad’s been getting better with each performance. I see his confidence growing. Great finishes on the last few goals. There’s a player there. And we’re now going to start to see what happens when our side is healthy with Barry playing well.

He looks like he’s trying to run with a comically large beach ball at times, but he’s defo showing some strikers instincts.

Thought DCL was miles ahead of him in touch, hold up play, winning balls and bringing others into the game. That said, outside of the foot shot and finish for the goal were two moments of quality.

DCL was sharp in the first half but completely vanished in the second half

Could it be magic, Barry?

 

[Joey66]

Fed on scraps a great goal made up for him

The DCL stat before the game was an eye opener. Scored more already this season for Leeds, than he had in any of his last four seasons with us. That may have something to do with us being managed by dinosaurs who play anti football.

It’s a thankless task being an Everton striker in recent years. Horribly isolated up top on your own, and expected to create your own half chances.

Barry is doing very well all things considered. You wouldn’t swap him for 60 million Gyokeres would you?

DCL was consistently missing chances a PL striker should slot. Think he just needed some new scenery

Apparently he’s going to do extra training during the summer at the Copacabana!

 

[blue to the bone]

As i said the other day 10 goals a very achievable target for him.
A lot of improvements to make but scoring goals is his main job

 

[datblygu]

He did very well for his goal. I'm beginning to really like him.

 

[hoppy]

Starting to show confidence and scoring goals as well long may it continue

 

[Bluepablo]

Barry doing well, working off scraps.
