Chai! Everton fans don enter wahala as their strikers no fit score goals. Na dat one wey be the current gist for BBC Merseyside where fan Natalie Bargery don talk about the struggles of Beto and Thierno Barry. As e be, the summer signing wey cost £27m never really gel for de team.
No be small gbege, Beto don only manage to net just two goals while Barry dey manage three. Meanwhile, dem dey look transfer target Youssef En-Nesyri wey don score seven goals for Fenerbahce this season, na im be say make dem try bring am come join Everton.
Bargery come yan say Beto na one kind one-trick pony. Last season na so so praise dem dey give am but as na wetin work for am don no dey work again, na so things don dey spoil. She gree say make dem give Barry more time as e dey adjust to Premier League level, but the pressure no dey easy.
Davids Moyes, the manager, still dey show small faith for Barry, talk say the boy fit shine if him fit develop his finishing skills. Barry dey still dey learn as e dey try to adapt to the physicality wey dey for Premier League, and Moyes believe say e go improve.
Moyes don also express concern say dem dey look for striker wey go fit change their fortune. The way things dey go, dem need better goal-scoring options before dem go enter relegation struggle. Na why dem dey eye both En-Nesyri and Callum Wilson from West Ham.
Beto don struggle for goals since he land for Everton and the fan base dey feel the heat. To make matter worse, their top-scorer na midfielder, Iliman Ndiaye, wey dey off with Senegal for Africa Cup of Nations, so no goals dey come from there too. Position no dey sweet at all.
Na just last two goals from Barry against Nottingham Forest lift hope say e go fit catch form, but that bad penalty miss for FA Cup don bring back doubt.
Moyes come talk say e need make Barry step up, but e dey give room for the boy to grow and learn since na his first time for dis kind big league.
Everton fans dey expect plenty from Barry as dem no fit manage another season wey be goal drought. Na wetin dem go do next for mercato go determine how the season go end.
