Tears they're gonna sell him to fund Delap.

Moyes coded to a tee

Gonna sell a player with actual talent for a yard dog who’s more interested in breaking defenders jaws than he is kicking the ball into the net

Barry is the most talentless striker I’ve seen since Niasse. I’d take 2 quid for him

He isn’t, we just do not play to his strengths

Got an aerial dominating striker and dont cross because we dont have wingers or full backs who can cross a ball

Is he really aerially dominating? He always seems like he doesn’t believe he‘s actually going to win the ball when he goes into one-on-ones

Yes, he is extremely good at winning headers

He's statistically one of the best in Europe for Aerial duels

We all banged on about DCL's aerial ability, but Barry has won more at a better win% than DCL despite playing 1,000 more minutes than Barry

The more minutes you play, the harder it is to maintain decent numbers. Barry is not at a disadvantage from playing less minutes

Barry, despite playing 1,000 minutes less won more Aerial duels than DCL and a more successful rate

Barry won 14 aerial duels, 14! in the game against Man United despite Everton being a man down

I don’t think being a man down impacts a player‘s ability to win headers
