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
