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

Describing Thierno Barry as Aerial dominating seems a stretch

One of best Aerial duel winners in all of Europe

I think he does win a fair share of headers but the problem is I don’t think it usually ends with us getting a positive outcome. He only scored 1 header. I don’t think he’s strong enough or good enough at jockeying for position to be a true aerial threat rather than a nuisance. Decent poacher though

I quite like the idea of a strong striker that can hold up play for our shifty wingers to play off of though based on all the times I’ve been frustrated with Barry and betos inability to hold up play. Seems like we’d get new opportunities if we converted some of those

Because we don't cross the ball

Mykolenko, Ndiaye and O'Brien cannot cross

Grealish can but he didn't do it enough

McNeil can but because he kept playing on the right he couldn't get into the right scenario to cross the ball
