2025/26 Beto

[BlueStevie35]

He’s a frustrating player, likeable guy but I’ve noticed in a few games he’s getting bullied off the ball really easily for a guy his size

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Beto can’t cut it. Now it’s for Moyes to change or we will struggle.

 

[Vedder]

He did himself no favours. Hes not getting balls in front to run on, but he's not making runs either.

But the whole "need a better striker" doesn't solve other issues.

Barry barely touched the ball when he came on

We go out wide all the time and slow it down.
We need to mix it more, than just out to Jack to than be double up on. Who then naturally slows it up.

Not too bothered by his missed chance. Headers are such fine margins, if the ball is a couple centimeters more to the left off his head, it’s past the keeper and in.

But I think he needs a game or two where he doesn’t come in at all to reset and understand what’s expected of him. You still put him in the squad in case of injury, but he’s way out of form and he’s also not fighting as hard as he could or should be. Lots of bad touches and less than intense pressing.

Barry barely touched the ball when he came on

Not the first time this has happened, either Beto is better at reading the game & anticipating were the play will be to get involved, or Barry's confidence is so low he's hiding

 

[Bilko]

Any other premiership team this lad would get a game in would you think ???.

 

[BigBeto1]

Can see us trying to offload him in Jan

 

[Nymzee]

The ball down the centre back from Garner was perfect for him and instead of shooting he donkey touched it, went wide, then tried to spin, fell over, and kicked it out of play.

Honestly think I'd have done better with it.

 

[EGWToffee]

Last night I heard some absolute poison being shouted at him from the crowd. Just no need for it at all. Mainly by big lumps who couldn’t do a lap of the 18 yard box. Frothing at the mouth using him as a scapegoat.

We all know he’s not the answer but I’d still take his desire and effort over Calvert Lewin who really did stink the gaf out for many seasons.

But seriously let’s not forget where we are.

 

[Sharpattack]

Truly abysmal player. He offered absolutely nothing last night. If I never see him in blue again it will be too soon.

 

[NathDogg]

He needs taking out the team, just start Barry for a spell, though he offered less than Beto last night.

Any confidence has gone from the lad, he’s not even being a handful and making life difficult for the cbs by running his backside off and putting himself about, which was a strength.

Not surprising when you can hear vitriol and abuse all around being lashed at him, some of it way over the top. The ultimate scapegoat for poor tactics and other poor players in the side.

He’s also packed in making any runs because the ball is hardly ever put in for him, our wingers keep trying to beat the same man 15 times, so the defence continually get set up and can defend the cross when it does come in easier and we don’t even put balls over the top to him now, everything is smacked right at him for him to hold up which we know is a problem.

We know he’s not the most skilful player, but if you’re not getting him bullying and harassing defences, or getting crosses into him early, then he brings nothing.

No balance, control and constantly falling over.

 

[Connor]

The ball down the centre back from Garner was perfect for him and instead of shooting he donkey touched it, went wide, then tried to spin, fell over, and kicked it out of play.

Honestly think I'd have done better with it.

Soon as the ball went over his shoulder, he should have been head down towards goal. Instead, He looked for the defender and played for a foul that never came

Awful.

He’s basically what would have had happened had we signed The Strac permanently

Seems to be getting worse, just a torrid performance last night, the original Bambi on ice performance.
