Everton manager David Moyes has sounded a clear warning to his underperforming forwards, Beto and Thierno Barry, admitting he may be forced to explore other attacking options if their goal drought continues. Between them, the duo has managed just one Premier League goal this season, leaving the Toffees struggling to convert chances despite solid performances in midfield and defence.
Speaking after Everton’s latest draw, Moyes expressed his frustration, stating, “We can’t keep creating opportunities and not finishing them. At some point, we have to look at other options if our strikers don’t start scoring.” His comments underline growing pressure on Beto and Barry, who were both signed to add firepower to an Everton side desperate to avoid another relegation battle.
With Dominic Calvert-Lewin still battling for full fitness, Moyes may soon turn to academy talents or consider tactical reshuffles to reignite Everton’s attacking spark. Supporters, too, are becoming restless, demanding more clinical finishing to match the team’s renewed defensive discipline under Moyes’ leadership.
As the season intensifies, all eyes will be on Everton’s frontline — and whether Beto and Barry can rise to the challenge before Moyes’ patience runs out.
