2025/26 Thierno Barry

[millow1878]

Thought he did well with very little to work off. Should have had an assist except for a very poor finish.

Not sure why everyone expects him to be prime drogba. Who by the way was playing in the French second division at the same age.

 

[millow1878]

The commentator on 5 live said he's scored 5 from 10 shots on target. Surely not.

From his last 10 shots on target.

He’s scored 5 in 9. Which shows you how little service he’s had.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

A non event today. I am sure he is frustrated

They seemed to suggest it was 10 overall. I know he went ages without scoring, but I wasn't exoecting it to be that low.

25 shots in total. 10 on target. 5 goals.

I am not sold on this guy at all, the only thing he did today was lay that ball to Dewsbury hall but other than that zilch

Should have had assist for KDH - He actually surprised me as i was half expecting him to shoot instead of pass. I will keep sticking to what i say - his goals mask his performances so,so much for me. Goals are off course what we want, but it's like he does not exist nearly before or after he scores. He needs to get involved a lot more.

That should have been 1- 0 a great ball by Barry...

I don’t really know my thoughts on the lad other than he’s young and dealing with a huge learning curve trying to play in the premier league


He does very little in the way of holding the ball up or making intelligent runs but he’s shown he can finish when the chances come and that layoff to KDH was perfect today and should’ve made it 1-0

What I do know, is I’d rather have him than Calvert-Lewin who has already peaked and has all the hold up play Barry doesn’t but can’t hit a barn door from more than six yards out

 

[james2805]

He did well again IMO, created our best chance on a plate for KDH, and some good touches on a couple other lesser chances. Tough game and did what was asked of him.

What should he have done differently for his ball to dewsbury hall?

In simple terms, when you haven't got limitless funds, if you have a striker that one has one single strength, it simply has to be finishing. So I don’t mind if he looks like he’s going to fall over when dribbling at a defender. Up to the manager and the squad to firstly tell him where he should be in the box, then to put the ball in there.

Nothing wrong with a striker slogging away (relatively) for 90 mins then the other striker coming on and scoring. A tale as old as time.

Its sound to not have a conclusive opinion.

Sit on that fence.

Hard for ANY striker in a Moyes team. He's all about centre-halves, not centre-forwards.
