Henry was impressed by Barry during Everton's win against Brighton last weekend.
“You mentioned (Jack) Grealish, (Iliman) Ndiaye played well as well, but Barry – I like when you have a striker that can hold the ball for you, and invite players in, go on the counter,” said Henry.
“He’s mobile. He’s always been a player that people doubt at the beginning, but they end up liking him.
“I like what he does already there (in the build-up to the first goal). What I like is what he does after. When the ball arrives with Grealish, you know what is going to happen, but look at his movement to take away (Lewis) Dunk.
“If he stays there and tries to battle with him, that ball would never reach anyone. It would have been too difficult for Barry to score, but he moves to the first post and frees that space for Ndiaye.
“The run of Barry, and him holding the ball, allowed that (Ndiaye goal).”
