2025/26 Thierno Barry


Age and all, but there is no justification for that miss
Has played in 5 countries now I think, and scored in all of them.
He doesn’t deserve half the acclimatisation time people think. That said I’d have left him on. Called him over to the touchline, put a rocket up his arse in terms of effort, but left him on.

We’ve now thrown a game we were dominating whilst simultaneously having our shiny new striker even less confident than he was at kick-off. He’s been crap, but his integration has been appalling by Moyes.

If Beto starts against Fulham, then it’s going to be a very frustrating season until we inevitably change manager.
 

The frustrating thing is that if we are going to pump long balls to the number 9 then the two wingers have got to get up close to the striker to give us a chance of getting the second balls or flick ons. We're smashing it to the striker who is marked by 3 defenders.

It clearly doesn’t work and it’s lazy yet we persist with it . Years ago they used to call teams who played like that ā€œale house teamsā€.

We did the same first half in the derby and stunk yet second half we passed it a bit better and actually had movement.
