2025/26 Beto

[Toffeeslam]

Say what you want about Beto he will score goals

 

[bluestevon]

I genuinely love how fuming him scoring has made you Percy.

Go for a walk.... Or a wank.

And think of our goalscoring number 9

Got to iron his spirit of shankley flag for tomorrow I think.

 

[Efctrueblue]

Was excellent today

 

[Efcjake]

We shall see. Won’t be pinning my hopes on a striker whose fans are reaching to a goal against league one opposition as part of a 2 goal purple patch

On a scale of 1-10 how angry did that goal make you Percy?

Get behind our number 9

 

[PercyPlant]

Must take a lot of effort to be that thick.

So without the period where he scored goals he wouldn't have scored many goals.

Who cares if a player scores 6 goals in 6 then 6 without, or if they score 6 in 12.

Btw he's scored now 3 in his last 6 league starts, must be another purple patch I guess

I’m not thick pal, im just not convinced a striker with 13 goals in 63 appearances (in the league) is good enough, especially when his support is a kid who we don’t know about yet. It’s my opinion we need better, if you’re happy with Beto I have no problem with that, at the end of the season we can look back at this discussion. Do you have a certain target for goals that would justify your conviction that Beto is the answer? I won’t expect a high target, I doubt you’ll even give one, but let’s see.

Is a sub appearance the same as a start to you Percy?

No sweat, anything between 10-15 and I'd be happy assuming he splits time with Barry, 8-10 from Barry.

 

[heatmeiser]

Just say you're angry he scored mate

Haha, really weird isn't it

 

[Efcjake]

Haha, really weird isn't it

I love it when they resort to

"bUt He hAS 63 ApPeARanCes!!!"

That would be a great return from each

 

[YMJ]

I think this is the best he has played for us. Link up play was better. Seemed more aware of other players.
I am on record as saying I think Barry is the better footballer but I think Beto raised his game today and took on the challenge.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Think his nudge and dummy for our second was more impressive than his goal. Really smart play.

 

[Manx Blue]

His footballing ability is clearly questionable but the lad is returning goals & that’s his job.

Long may it continue Beto!

37 of those 63 were sub appearances, only 26 starts. On that kind of form he will comfortably reach double figures in the league this year, and thats not even factoring in how much his form improved post Moyes' return.

Just to add... 8 in 21 prem games under Moyes (or 8 in 16.6 games if you do it by minutes played)
