Thought he done ok today.
Done enough to start against Wolves.

Define useless in the air please
Last season in the league top three forwards for aerial duels won:
Paul onuachu - 61.2%
George Hirst - 58.2%
Erline Haaland - 53.3%
Barry only played 1 game so not a true sample size but its far from useless. Ill admit his accuracy in terms of who the headers went to wasnt alwasy spot on but alot of the game there wasnt a player closeby for the second ball which is quite common with our team.
As for falling over it really doesnt matter he controlled a long throw with no team mate within 15 yards and under pressure. allowing the team to advance. doe she fall? yes. does he enable the team to progress from our half to their box and score also yes. fans have complained for 4 years about dcl and beto not holding the ball up and it coming straight back. he done what fans have wanted for years in that instance

Was better than Beto was at Leeds. Operated in harmless areas though which needs to change. Could do with putting himself about a bit, and clattering some opponents, just to show willing.
Difficult to start games as the other team has its proper structure and is cautious. Beto could run around at the end because there was more space and they were taking more risks. Plus he knew he only had a short time to expend all of his energy.
Not particularly sparkling so far, but way too early to judge. If nothing else, they will have more footage to show him of what he should do and in particular where he should run. We had the ball deep or in midfield, his body shape wasn’t inviting balls in behind or down channels. He’s just a bit reactionary, rather than making it obvious where the ball should be played.
He’s new to us and the PL, but he is not new to playing professional football matches at a reasonable level. It’s correct to have some high expectations of the very basics.
Just think he should show more aggression. Give a few fouls away in their half. Gets the crowd on side and will just get him properly into the game rather than the periphery.

Was involved in the build up for both goals.
I think our current Frankenstein's monster of a system doesn't help him and there's clearly some adjusting to the league/club to be done.
Far too early to write him off and it may be a bit deeper inter the season before we see him really begin to shine.
Until then, we need to show something that out fan base is not good at when it comes to players - patience.

He’s still got to find his feet and learn to fight for the ball more but looks like he has technique and skill.
He’ll come good, just give him time.

Noise was he was raw, don't think he's raw. Just needs time. New club, new country. Lot of pressure on him.
Based on what?
He's not even played a full 90 mins for us yet.
He's not going to play 90 minutes anytime soon
