'He can say I told you so': Moyes impressed by Everton striker Barry
LIVERPOOL: David Moyes said Thierno Barry had proved his point after the Everton striker’s double inspired a 3-1 win against Coventry on Friday.
David Moyes praised Everton striker Thierno Barry after the young player's double inspired a 3-1 victory against Coventry. The match was tied early in the second half when Yann Gboho scored for Coventry. However, Barry responded by netting twice in just five minutes to turn the game in Everton's favor. Barry has already scored ten goals this season, surpassing his total for the entire 2025-26 campaign.
Moyes noted that giving away a poor goal was unfortunate, but Barry's goals were crucial for the team. The Everton manager said, "He can smile at me now and say I told you so and that's good." Barry, known for missing chances last season, has been more clinical this term and is now an important player for Everton, currently leading the league with 10 goals.
