2025/26 Thierno Barry

[SuperKev91]

So in your world Beto is an accomplished footballer. Great hold up play, dominant in the air and takes a wicked free kick. He should be playing for Barcelona or Borussia Dortmund...oh wait.

Not what I’ve insinuated at all but claiming Alcacer does any of that in 2025 is even worse .

You mean now Alcácer couldn't trap a bag of sand. Because both Beto and Barry struggle to hold up the ball and don't consistently show a grasp of the basics any footballer should have.

Hojlund
73mins in Serie A
1 game, 1 goal, 1 motm.

Like I said - Could'nt hack it in the Prem Lge or play their system.

This is a bizarre hill to die on. Neither Beto or Barry are currently what we’d expect up top (Barry I believe will be). That doesn’t make Paco f’ing Alcacer the answer. Even in his pomp he’d have struggled enormously in the prem with his physicality.

Very weird argument.

He scored 10 goals + had 2 assists in his first season at United.

It appears as though United is the issue rather than some of these players.

As for Barry, 2nd half of the season I expect him to deliver. Its too soon now to even do more than monitor his progress.

Let's wait to see Barry's first Prem goal this season...and wait...and wait.
But you never know the players might let him take a Pen. Oh and by the way even though off topic for this thread I was suggesting Alcácer over Beto. But at the moment there are several Champions strikers who do a better more effective job than Barry.

You are off your rocker son. I cannot emphasise enough he has played the equivalent of *two full games* for a new team and you're sat there tapping your watch. TWO. Hardly a goalscoring drought is it you balloon. He's been involved in every goal while he's been on the pitch in that time too.

 

[alpethsm]

Should start against wolves, the half time sub for Moyes is very uncommon, he must have been really frustrated by Beto.

He looks a bit more accomplished than Beto but it's definitely going to take some time.

We will see! When ice, wind, rain and 6in of snow blizzards come in Dec Jan and Feb just how good he really is then! Will keep this quote from you and show it on here to determine who was right! This guy is not the answer to a Everton Top 6.

Lol christ literally doing the cold rainy night in Stoke line. You might be better off just watching reruns of 90s matches, I think you're still stuck in that era

Also none of our current players are meant to be 'the' answer to an Everton top 6, not even Grealish. They're all stepping stones. We're in a transitional era, a lot of fans need to accept that it's a long multi-stage process to get back up there consistently

Played at Stoke City and it's not that bad in winter! Was going to say a snow covered Hull City early Jan in a FA Cup game. .

Rather you than me tbf

Anyway I hope I'm right and you're wrong, let's see by the end of the season

 

[GoldenToffee]

By default (Beto being so bad) our starting striker now.

 

[millow1878]

Much more effective than Beto yesterday.

 

[Efcjake]

Need him firing them in soon

 

[TheBigIguana]

Do people understand that he was really good last year in the second best league at just 22 in his first year there? We should be shouting from the hills for him to start over bang average Beto and expect that in time he’s going to score goals in a strong attacking team like the one we’re sticking out there. His involvement in the game is fine and he has not looked overwhelmed at all. It’s just about minutes. He should be getting them!
