Got neither a goal nor an assist and was at fault by and large for their first goal

Best of a bad bunch, maybe. We can and should expect better.

Still love him like.

Not getting an assist wasn't down to him. He was absolutely exceptional in the first half. He did switch off for their goal though.

He played a great short pass through to Beto when Beto missed the goal and the flag went up. I think Moyes was right that if Beto scored then VAR gives that goal, just.

The chance at the far post first half? There was way too much pace on that ball.

not that one - which I agree was too pacy, but the other one in the first half where he put beto through on goal from the right and the flag went up.

If Beto had scored I think VAR would have given the goal. I think he was just onside

I said the same yesterday Davek. People criticising Beto and making out that was a sitter have an agenda against him

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

I’m not sure if the facts bear this out or I see it more because Beto plays for us and I watch more of our matches, but it seems Beto finds himself in an offside position an awful lot. He’s streaky with scoring. And I don’t think yesterday’s attempts were all sitters. But it seems he’s unaware a good bit of his positioning.

If he can’t score then there’s zero reason for him to be in the team as he offers nothing else, it’s not an agenda, he’s just crap at everything else

What a f‘kin player.

I'm not arguing that we need better as that's patently obvious I'm arguing that criticism of him should be fair and not using examples which are harsh

 

[ElGato]

I meaaaaan

How can you watch this and it not being a smile to your face

 

[Del-boy]

Wouldn’t surprise me if City come in for him next summer. I’d be looking at Kudus sort of money. Iv rather keep him obviously.

You’ve never played/watched football. The ball needs that pace to beat the defenders and goalkeeper. They intercept slower ball. Beto is just never in the right place. He doesn’t anticipate or move well. We had equally good situations as City’s two goals and neither were difficult finishes. Haaland just gets in the right place over and over again.

A better striker scores. He reacts rather than anticipates. Lineker made a career out of scoring those type of goals. Both of Haaland’s goals yesterday were easy finishes, but he just gets in the right place to score over and over again.

He’s much better than Kudus.
