Thierno Barry ‘bullied’ and Brennan Johnson underperforms again

Tom.procter was critical of Thierno Barry, as the Everton centre-forward was outmuscled by Arsenal centre-back Gabriel.

According to Sofascore data, Barry had 40 touches, one shot on target and managed to complete just eight passes all game, so he was totally ineffective.

Didn’t really expect Everton to get anything, but a disappointing display regardless. Such a gulf between the two teams. Barry was absolutely bullied by Gabriel. Johnson awful again

‘I’m a Moyes supporter but can’t follow his logic now’

Kmm.mace admits even as a Moyes supporter, it’s now becoming hard to defend some of his team selections.

Hayden Hackney, who was named Championship Player of the Season last year, is another young player who is hardly getting a chance.

I’m a Moyes supporter but can’t follow his logic now. Can’t understand picking players every week who offer nada . Charli should be on for Barry, who is sooo poor. Tyler should be starting rather than Brennan. Hayden needs to be getting a start too. Different team selection needed. I can only think point is being made to the ‘World beating’ Transfer team!

‘Nothing will change’ until the Friedkin Group leave

And finally, Ptrckbennett feels ‘nothing will change’ until the Friedkin Group sell the football club and fresh investment is made into the squad.

The Dell family have recently been linked with an Everton takeover, although it remains to be seen if the £1bn valuation is met.

The Friedkins may have to compromise on their asking price, which is pretty high.

There are few words to describe that performance! Alas until we are sold nothing will change so we need to be realistic! Barry, Johnson, Pickford and Jimmy G need a REST for a few games if we are to have a positive season whatever that may be!
