2025/26 Beto

[Chewbacca]

He is the very definition of “awkward to play against”

 

[NeilMorepies]

Top 10 Premier League Scorers (2024/25 Season):

1. Mohamed Salah: (Liverpool) - 29 goals
2. Alexander Isak: (Newcastle United) - 23 goals
3. Erling Haaland: (Manchester City) - 22 goals
4. Chris Wood: (Nottingham Forest) - 20 goals
5. Bryan Mbeumo: (Brentford) - 20 goals
6. Yoane Wissa: (Brentford) - 19 goals
7. Ollie Watkins: (Aston Villa) - 16 goals
8. Matheus Cunha: (Wolves) - 15 goals
9. Cole Palmer: (Chelsea) - 15 goals

People demanding 15 goals out of Beto this season by the way, these are the only players to achieve it last season. If he hits 15, that's great company to keep, not an expectation.

On the other hand, how can we be expected to challenge for the top ten, if we don’t have a top ten striker?

What position did he finish in league strikers last season?

Score goals and all will be forgiven. Played a vital role in the second goal as well. Well in Beto

Maybe we should ask Arsenal, who have seemed to do it.

Of all his many mistakes, Dyche not rating him was one of his worst.

You mean Arsenal who have been trying to sign a top striker for a couple of years and who have finally signed one?

I wasn’t sure if the step over was legit or he just missed the ball, but he did it two or three times in the game so I’m going with it just being fantastic play

I mean Arsenal who don’t have a player present on that list but finished second last season.

Liverpool won the league without a top 10 striker. Hope this helps.

I’d say he meant it. I’m more impressed that he held the defender away from the ball brilliantly so Ndiaye had a tap in. Fantastic goal

Genuinely think it would be mad to let him go, think he's such a useful player and he never hides

We need the coaches to do their jobs and work on him with the attacking players we now have his first touch has got to get much much better because so much is going to break down if it doesn’t

 

[trueblue84]

Just pointing out Beto has 2 goals to his name already Percy.

Are you still standing by this?

But he's 27 years old. That's like a goal every 13.5 years. Just not good enough!

What’s his goals to minutes ratio under Moyes? I bet it’s in very good company with central strikers across the league.

….he certainly passes my CBs on the bus going home theory. I think opposition CBs talk about how much of a handful he is after games.

So what you are saying is that having a top ten striker is pretty meaningless, unless you play with a striker as a focal point for goals like we do?
