Quick one: Was it a poor header from Beto or just a great save? Been hearing different schools of thought on it.

It was a good leap, a powerful header, and directed down at the ground where the keeper would most struggle to make himself big and keep it out. On another day that squirms in under the keepers leg and Beto is the hero but Henderson did very well to get across his goal and keep it out.

Great header for me, does everything right, bullet header keeps it down and a great stop from the keeper.

The speed he's attacking the ball kind of limits where he can put it imo.

That Toffee TV ginger thinks its a bad header and the one that actually played footy to a half decent level as a forward thinks it was a good header.

For me, that tells you all you need to know.

Made a point last season about half time turning up and all our players would fall asleep, we'd look great first half then come out comatose.

Seems we've reversed it this year. No idea what's going on or why.

I got a lot of time for Ped to be fair but I did disagree with him there.

I'd rather this season's way than last season TBH (I'd prefer us to be boss all game, obvs).

I think he hoped the power in the header would would guarantee himself a goal , i wish it had gone in as it would have been a big boost for him ...just unlucky

He had unimpeded forward momentum and he failed to score from 4 yards out - a shocking attempt.

Beto is lovely - thumbs up on the stretcher - but not good enough.

edit: 'Unimpeded forward momentum' sounds a bit pompous - I just mean he had a clear run at it.

He had 5 players in front of him, including the keeper.

…..he properly gets up and ‘hangs’ but I don’t think he quite timed it, it went down and the keeper made a fine save but what happened next is history. Great angle on that cross, magnificent ball to attack from Ndiaye.

I am not sure the keeper saved it in as much as it hit his knee. Can't really fault Beto's header as that was the best place to put it. Fortune intervened first for them and then for us. Jack's block might have gone anywhere but fortune intervened and it went in.

….’hitting his knee’ is saving it, keeping it out is saving it. I thought the keeper did well in that instant. As Moyes said, Beto should’ve buried it.

I can't disagree with that. So equally Munoz' clearance was a bad clearance as it hit Grealish's extended foot?

Another ginger fella thought he should have buried it...

He was a defender, though.

It's pretty simple, our subs are better than our starters. Love Moyes but it's criminal putting Alcaraz on the bench, don't understand it one bit.
