Gabriel bullied Thierno Barry in Arsenal's win over Everton.

That's not a startling statement. The Brazilian is a beast of a centre-back, and Barry isn't the first, and won't be the last Premier League striker to emerge from Gabriel's pocket at the end of a game.

However, there's a wider problem for Everton. If it isn't working with Barry, what next? The severe shortage of strikers looks like it's beginning to catch up with Everton now. David Moyes did all he could to get one during the summer, but how costly is that going to be for the club?

We've seen before with Barry that he is a striker who plays off confidence. That self-belief looked like it was slowly draining out of his game at the Emirates. The longer the match went on, the less impactful he was.

Everton might now have to go for a slightly unorthodox 'Plan B' option in their forward line, just to relieve the pressure on Barry. But what that might consist of is anybody's guess.
