2025/26 Thierno Barry

[blueblood]

I’m at a point where I would seriously consider playing Michael Keane as our starting number 9.

 

[Drico]

I'll take Henrik Larsson at this point...baller

I'd take Zara Larsson.

I mean we are talking about not scoring...

 

[johnjf]

Barry and beto are that bad i just laff now, every week,

 

[tommye]

My bogey-flicking accuracy is better...could land one on your forehead at 10 paces.

My forehead goes almost all the way back to my neck nowadays

 

[Bebeto]

At this point I would honestly stick alcaraz up top, surely cannot be any worse.

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.

It does when your other option is Beto who can't make those passes. We lose all control of the ball in the final third when he comes on, at a moment in the game where we need to slow it down and keep the ball.

I want us to sign another striker in summer but until then, we stick with Barry as our starter.

As for the reasons we lost this game - yh he missed a sitter. You won't see me deny that. But as I said we had one fullback sent off, and another give a goal away. Meanwhile their two fullbacks were their two best players. Doesn’t mean Barry didn't have a bad game, but I'm not going to hold him responsible for us losing considering the context of what I've just said.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Is he still sat in the stadium with his head under his shirt?

He knew full well we lost tonight because of his finishing.

Was quite alarming to see none of the bench comforting him. Least he feels something, I guess.

Tough love needed perhaps?

 

[Dag]

thats not what i am seeing
he’s key to
how moyes wants us to play as we evolve

but theres clearly a lot of room for improvement

When he goes deeper with no defender on his back he’s able to be involved. But that is not a hard part of the game. True, Beto can’t do it. But that’s not what i’m pointing to. With a man on his back the ball is lost.

I miss the days of Lukaku, Yakubu and DCL in that part of the game. (In all other parts og the game as well)

 

[Huyton Layne]

Probably the guy who rejected Haaland when he had a trial

 

[Huyton Layne]

It's got to the point where I'd prefer to play Dibling upfront than either of them, even if it's the Spain no striker formation of old, it can't be any worse.

Dibling, Ndiaye or George. All had a go there at some point in their careers. Why not, other two on the wings.

Don't worry, Moyes probably is as well lol

 

[MACCA75]

He’s just so clumsy. Still can’t believe we scouted him.

Ban worthy offence to be suggesting this in big 2026

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

One good I'll give him is he seems to be learning bit by bit...Beto, on the other hand.

Who had the final say on his signing?
