2025/26 Thierno Barry


He doesn't look great but hauling him off does nothing for his confidence. Especially when his replacement is no better. Just give him a full 90 next time. Where's the harm?

It's a shame we pissed the league cup up the wall. We could have used that to rotate the squad and gain confidence.
Beto was stripped ready to come on about 52min , I don't get it , if he was subbed at HT fair enough or the usual 65/70, waste of a sub window for me. Beto did nothing but to be fair to him on this occasion all he had was hoofs of Pickford over his head

His reputation was enhanced by Beto’s abject cameo.

I dont think he looked terrible. Wored hard and had some OK touches. He needs time and we need to get better as a team playing to a strikers strengths. Guy already looks like he has weight of workd on him, he's not being managed properly in my view. Needs time not bit parts
 
Where has this dude gone? His current heading ability is akin to Seamus:

It's honestly worrying for me how many people think he had a decent game last night. In what way? Is this how low the bar is now?

I am not the kind of person who bothers with xG or whatever but we have to use statistics when it comes to actual performance metrics.

He missed a sitter my 8-year old daughter would score​
He lost 6 out of his 9 aerial duels​
He lost 6 out of 6 ground duels​

That means he lost 12 of his 15 duels (80%)

19 touches all game and only 3 in the opposition box​
2 of his 2 dribbles he lost​
6 of his 11 passes went to the opposition​

He also committed 3 fouls and got a needless yellow card.

Where is the good stuff?! There used to be the occasional idiot complain about Lukaku on this forum. This kid hasn't the ability to lace Lukaku's right boot. He is also 2 years older than Lukaku was when he came to Everton but he 'needs time'.

Nil Satis Nisi Optimum? We know we are nowhere near that anymore, but we also should expect a player earning an incredible wage to have at least 1 shot on target so far this season (he has zero).

He just doesn't look a good player, granted Beto is no better this season but at least Beto showed us last season he has goals in him, Barry has poor positioning, he can't hold up the ball, doesn't run with it either, in 10 games (304 minutes) he's had 7 shots made 37 successful passes and won 21 duels I just don't think he's cut out for this league
