Yesterday, Everton secured an impressive 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with standout performances across the pitch drawing praise from manager David Moyes.
Moyes particularly lauded Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, the £25m summer signing, for his exceptional form, having scored his third goal in the last four games. The manager also expressed his delight at Thierno Barry netting his first goal, hinting at the possibility of reintroducing Beto into the starting line-up.
In response to the win, Barry took to social media to thank Everton fans for their unwavering support, sharing a series of celebratory photos along with a heartfelt message declaring, “I told u this is my story,” followed by a blue heart emoji.
Teammates such as Iliman Ndiaye and Dewsbury-Hall showed their support and excitement for Barry, with Ndiaye playfully commenting, “Bon dodo,” translating to “sleep tight,” and Dewsbury-Hall echoing, “Told you!”
The post-match celebrations were not confined to just the players, as Tottenham Hotspur attacker Mathys Tel also joined in to praise Barry, expressing his admiration by stating, “I love to see you like this damn! DESERVED.”
Dewsbury-Hall emphasized the overwhelming support from the fans at Hill Dickinson Stadium when Barry scored, indicating a united front backing the rising star.
Barry’s stellar performances could potentially impact Everton’s transfer plans, as Moyes might reconsider his pursuit of a new striker in the upcoming January window. The success of Barry may prompt a delay in acquiring a center-forward, with initial reports linking Troy Parrott to the club.
Should Barry continue his impressive goal-scoring form, Everton may opt to postpone signing a new striker until the summer transfer window for a more feasible market. In the meantime, Moyes might explore short-term loan options to provide additional support to Barry and Beto, possibly considering an experienced mentor like Brighton’s Danny Welbeck for the talented France under-21 international to learn from.
