"Ultimately then, when you're trying to reach the top levels, any small opportunities that come around, you need your forwards to take them. We need him to come up with goals - that's part of the job if you're a number nine - but we're happy with the way he's playing. He's certainly beginning to get used to the Premier League and being at Everton."
"Barry joined the Toffees from Villarreal for £27m (€30m) in pre-season and has appeared in all 13 of their Premier League matches this campaign, starting six times. But the Frenchman has failed to score - or even hit the target - from 11 shots in the competition thus far, with a total expected goals (xG) value of 1.63. Barry has earned praise for what he offers out of possession, though,"
Thierno Barry joined Everton from Villarreal for £27m (€30m) in pre-season and has appeared in all 13 Premier League matches this campaign, starting six. The French striker has failed to score or hit the target from 11 shots, posting a total expected goals (xG) of 1.63. Barry's off-the-ball work and selflessness have earned supporters' backing and confidence. Everton beat Manchester United 1-0 despite Idrissa Gueye being sent off, and lost 4-1 to Newcastle where Barry had a goal disallowed. Everton travel to Bournemouth seeking a bounce-back; Bournemouth also lost their last game and coach Andoni Iraola anticipates a difficult test.
