2025/26 Thierno Barry


Is getting the odd goal here and there a striker coming good though? That seems more law of averages than actually doing a job.

To give him some credit, his hold up play is improving but he doesn’t seem close at all to actually scoring a goal.
I just meant I think he'll improve his all-round play in general, rather than ending up like Neal Maupay, or that Sandro(?) guy that we had, for example. It would be brilliant if everything just clicked for Barry, and he started banging in the goals for us.

Love that description. Reserve team striker. Lol.

Let's hope our lad Barry has a better career than bumwipe Maupay.
 

All the lovely control of passes counts for naff all of he doesn't do anything with the ball when he gets it.

I judge strikers on their ability to put the ball in the back of the net first and foremost.

Its a weird time without many consistent goalscorers.

Where have they all gone?

Well they're often marked by two defenders at all times now.

I think there's something to be said about it being easier to find your own space to score loads if there's a strike partner occupying another defender.

So often these days it's one lad static in the box while people move around him.
 

Would love to see us in a 4-3-3 with this lad on the wing. His movement is noteworthy. And he consistently beats the offside trap. Maybe he is a reverse Henry.
