Re: Thierno Barry
I agree, so I dunno about the claims of 'studying lukakus game'.
He's just growing into the league. If you couldn't see it before now but you can see it now he's scored a few goals it's on you!*
*Not you specifically

Re: Thierno Barry
Yeah up until then he’d been watching videos of Hibberd, but since switching the tapes we can see a lot of improvement

Re: Thierno Barry
Watching videos of Lukaku's hold up at Everton would be a bad idea, watching videos of the Lukaku of the last 5 years would be a fantastic idea.
He completely transformed himself into a great back to goal player and bullied defenders

Re: Thierno Barry
Pretty much agree with you. At times on Monday night, I was a bit frustrated with him but the sign of a good forward is one who may seem not to be playing well but comes alive when he gets a chance and puts it away777Kidnappings wrote:I dont think hes playing particularly well still. Think hes still surviving on moments in games. However I do think we are getting more of them moments of good play and on top of that he does also appear to be a really really good finisher. To be fair to him that seems like plenty enough to work with

Re: Thierno Barry
He still largely terrible but getting goals and that’s what we pay him for.

Current form "wouldn't be enough to impress me" or words to that effect, from Moyes just now. Needs to do more.
Interesting.

Re: Thierno Barry
Which is correct, much better recently, but that’s not hard based on his first few months, nowhere near the finished article yet, but he is improving. Also it’s Moyes’ way of squeezing more out of him.

Re: Thierno Barry
Good management I think. Not lavish with praise, trying to get more out of him and remind him he still needs to improve in some respects. I think Moyes knows what he’s doing hereCods wrote:Current form "wouldn't be enough to impress me" or words to that effect, from Moyes just now. Needs to do more.
