2025/26 Thierno Barry

Beto yh, Barry i respectfully disagree. Bournemouth are lauded for their attacking football and we created most of the best chances of the game through Barry linking well with our wide players.

All the fume in here is reactive to me. Barry had a bad game but if you actually look at the real key moments of the game - O'Brien sent off playing out of position for us at right back, Myko at fault for conceding at left back.

Then you look at Bournemouth and their two best players in my opinion were Truffert and Jimenez. It's easy to scapegoat Barry but he isn't the reason we lost this game. They had two class players in positions that can hurt us because we failed to address issues in the squad when we had the chance. Iraola is a good coach, he saw our vulnerabilities and exploited them

Barry is definitely one of three reasons we lost the game. He missed an absolutely sitter and his all round game was terrible throughout. A few 5 yard passes doesn't change that.

We can't go into next season with him as our first choice striker. It's a miracle we're as high as we are in the league with that being the case this time around.
 
Did you watch Beto when he came on? Fella can't even do a basic lay off for somebody. It's like watching an oak tree up front.
Football fans have no object permanence. If Beto starts against Utd we will all be begging to never see him start again.

If you don't like Barry fine, but insisting on Beto playing is just cutting off your nose to spite your face.
 
Even when he’s dreadful, within seconds of him going off and Beto coming on you immediately pine for Barry to be out there again. He was scoring goals late on in matches, now he’s being taken off earlier again and the team immediately becomes poorer for that sub.

For his faults he at least contributes to the team. Varying from miniscule to decent depending on his mindset.

Beto doesnt, has always been 5 yards off the pace. Apparently has no idea what the tactics are.

Im not sure he actually trains with the team
