"The Toffees drew 0-0 in a dour match against Burnley on Saturday, with Beto starting as Barry - who has established himself as Moyes' first-choice striker - coming on as a second-half substitute. Beto and Barry both forced smart stops out of Burnley goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, though the duo have just two Premier League goals between them this season."
"He's played well. He's improved. We've tried to give him a run of games to see what he can do. But ultimately our centre-forwards have got to score goals because if you're a number nine, having just one goal, and Beto's only got one [league goal] too, that's not good enough."
"And while former Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is shining for Leeds, both Barry and Beto rank among the 10th-worst expected goals underperformers among players who have netted at least once in the Premier League this term. Beto has underperformed his xG by 3.4, while Barry has underperformed by 1.8."
Everton drew 0-0 with Burnley as Thierno Barry came on as a substitute for Beto, with both players forcing saves from Martin Dubravka. Barry and Beto have just two Premier League goals between them this season, with Barry's only Everton goal coming on December 6 after his move from Villarreal. Both forwards rank among the worst xG underperformers who have scored at least once, with Beto underperforming by 3.4 and Barry by 1.8. David Moyes says the centre-forwards must score more. Everton collected 56 points in 2025 after a managerial change earlier in the year. Nottingham Forest sit 17th after a 2-1 loss to Manchester City, but their squad quality remains strong.
