@brogan I seed from the start he will be a leading gole scoring but whdn he missed so many easy chances I change my mind glad he's proven me wrong
Barry's probably as good as most premier strikers and as most of us fans have been asking putting in the young ones is paying off George and Dibbling exceptional looking forward instead of worrying can't be bad
1 more season and the bigger vulture clubs are going to be circling 💯 percent he's just underrated IMO
Thierno Barry is in the form of his life
Barry’s star is on the rise and has been for months now as he continues to settle into Premier League football, starting to look like a superstar.
This is because he now has 10 goals and three assists in 13 appearances this season for Everton, which is a marked improvement on his eight in 41 last season.
Barry added to his goal haul on Friday night with a brace against Coventry, making it six in six, with only Chelsea and Arsenal escaping him.
Since his goal and assist against Newcastle in the cup, Barry has reached new levels, aligning with Everton’s winning streak, which has European football looking like a realistic target.
If Barry can show consistency and score to the same level he has been so far this campaign throughout, then he could quite easily be on for a goal return of 25-30 goals across all competitions this season, which would be a big success.
Everton are likely to sign another striker in January to help Barry, but it is becoming clear that this doesn’t need to be a starter; Barry has this on lock.
David Moyes’ patience has been vindicated
Barry hasn’t had it all good at Everton, initially he struggled and became a bit of a laughing stock. Even this season, fans had grown weary of how he was missing big chances.
But Moyes kept faith and has been repaid for this patience in Barry’s increasingly impressive return, which now has him the joint second top scorer in the Premier League this season.
His goals are finally catching up with the expected goals, which currently sit as the most in the league, and this suggests there is still some way to go. By getting himself so many big chances, the goals were always going to follow.
Barry is one of the best in the league, and soon that point will be common knowledge.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall performance leaves Thomas Tuchel with an uncomfortable question

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was snubbed from Thomas Tuchel’s latest England squad, despite his stellar performances for Everton this season. But he issued an immediate retort to this decision.
On current form, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall should have been nailed on to join Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the next round of Nations League fixtures. Tuchel has stated Dewsbury-Hall was close to getting the call, but ultimately, Jobe Bellingham was chosen ahead of him.
James Garner was called up from the Everton midfield ranks, but Dewsbury-Hall was also deserving, only to be snubbed. However, being the model professional he is, you won’t see the Everton man sulking. He did his talking on the pitch instead.
Thierno Barry strikes again as Everton come from behind to beat Coventry City! What did you make of that performance?

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall goal for Everton is a message to Thomas Tuchel
Everton are on fire right now, winning three games on the trot and sit fifth in the Premier League prior to a ball being kicked on Saturday. A huge part of this has been Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, with the midfielder becoming David Moyes’ best player and biggest catalyst for success.
That is why it was so disappointing that he wasn’t called up, because he is absolutely deserving. Against Coventry on Friday night, he continued this form with a goal, adding the third goal to make it 3-1.
It was a fantastic and emphatic finish from Dewsbury-Hall, and his celebration showed just how much it and the success Everton are having meant to him. The goal was almost a statement to Tuchel for leaving him out, striking with such power and anger, taking it out on the ball and Coventry goalkeeper Carl Rushworth.

It was altogether another fantastic performance that should have Tuchel and his staff cursing the decision not to call him up over Jobe Bellingham, for example. It is, however, a sign of how well Everton are doing that there are three representatives in the England squad and that there should have been a fourth.
As frustrated as Dewsbury-Hall must feel right now, the fact is that if he and Everton play like this consistently for the rest of this season, Tuchel won’t be able to deny him.
With the quality he has shown here, Dewsbury-Hall will have Tuchel asking the question, especially if the next few Nations League games don’t go well. The question will be whether or not the Everton man would have been a better choice.
Tuchel is often criticised for his team selections, and snubbing Dewsbury-Hall could end up being a big mistake. However, it does mean he will be fresh for Everton with two weeks off.
