Thierno Barry has been an utter failure at Everton after his £27million move from Villarreal in the previous transfer window.
The Toffees lost Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the summer, and the French youngster was bought as a replacement.
While fans will admit Barry needs time to settle in the Premier League, his recent performances at the Blues have been woeful.
David Moyes has also been unable to rely on Beto to score goals, leading to somewhat of a crisis at the Merseyside outfit in terms of their form, but it looks like the 23-year-old doesn’t understand the severity of the situation in L4.

Thierno Barry takes Everton swipe with new Instagram profile picture
With the Scottish manager under extreme pressure at the Toffees and facing the threat of being sacked, the players need to come together for him in the coming weeks.

Instead, it looks like Barry has taken it upon himself to be selfish and to showcase his frustration at the Hill Dickinson Stadium by changing his Instagram profile picture on 7 November.
The France Under-21 international’s new display photo on his social media platform is now a screenshot of him looking dejected on the bench at the Stadium of Light during the Blues’ 1-1 draw on 3 November.
Barry was abysmal against Sunderland, missing one big chance and subsequently being hauled off at the 57th minute for Beto.

The former Villarreal striker seems completely out of touch with the reality of his displays in L4, with Moyes justified in benching him.
It wouldn’t be surprising to see the Blues go into the market in January for a new number nine as the Scottish manager has been unable to rely on his current options at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
David Moyes needs two new players in January
Moyes undoubtedly needs a new striker at the Hill Dickinson Stadium in the winter transfer window after Beto and Barry’s failures.
Everton have struggled to find the back of the net consistently this season, leading to their lack of form in recent weeks.

Another position the Toffees should look to strengthen is left-back, as Vitalii Mykolenko’s early-season struggles have not subsided.
James Garner has had to play out of position to cover for the Ukraine international, with Adam Aznou seemingly not trusted by Moyes, making defensive reinforcements a priority for the Blues.
