Big Dunc’s Fury: “He Shouldn’t Wear the Shirt Again”

​Everton legend Duncan Ferguson pulled no punches in a sensational “live on air” rant following Everton’s narrow 1-0 defeat to Manchester United at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on February 23, 2026. The Scotsman, known for his uncompromising passion, turned his sights on Thierno Barry after the striker’s toothless display in a match where the Toffees failed to find the net.

​Ferguson, providing expert analysis for the post-match coverage, was visibly fuming as he discussed the summer signing’s lack of application.

​”I’ve seen enough,” Ferguson barked. “You’re playing Manchester United at home under the lights. People pay good money to see a bit of heart, and Barry gave us nothing. He was bullied off the ball, his movement was non-existent—he’s had enough chances. If I’m David Moyes, I don’t play him again. He shouldn’t be anywhere near that starting XI.”

​The defeat, sealed by a second-half strike from United’s Benjamin Šeško, leaves Moyes’ side languishing in mid-table obscurity. Ferguson’s “live on air” demands have resonated with a frustrated fanbase, many of whom are questioning the recruitment of the 23-year-old forward. For “Big Dunc,” the performance wasn’t just poor; it was a betrayal of the grit expected at Everton, and he’s called for immediate action before the season slips away.
