I need to stop thinking he can get a call-up for Portugal someday.
If Eder can score the winner in a euros final for Portugal then anything is possible.

I just don't get how anyone can dislike him.Just one of the most likeable blokes we’ve had play for us in ages.

He's not the most polished, but he does some excellent things, always tries hard, is fast and strong and a really good finishers. We've had worse players who couldn't score goals. People need to get behind the lad. I always feel much more comfortable with him up top than I ever did with Calvert-Lewin. Hasn't he got something like 10 goals in 24 games under Moyes??
I think he was born in Portugal mate but plays international football for Guinea-Bissau (unless I've missed something, which is very, very likely...)?I need to stop thinking he can get a call-up for Portugal someday.

He only accepted their call up last October.Can't believe at 27 he only has 6 caps for Guinea-Bissau
Yeah, it's the born in Portugal bit that confuses my brain still haha. I should really remember.
Dom was a confidence striker that needed service to be effective. Nothing wrong with that and not his fault things turned out the way they did, but Beto imo works better in isolation if you play to his strengths. His holdup play was indeed overstated. I think he was a good outlet as he would run the wings and win the ball aerially but in terms of creation? Not very good. In fact Barry has done more than both in just a couple of games in that regard.I liked DCL as well but the myth around their respective hold up plays is a bit ridiculous. DCL’s hold up play was nowhere near as good as people make out and Beto’s is nowhere near as bad. I actually think their hold up play is of a similar quality with their feet and maybe DCL had the edge bringing a high ball down. The amount of times though I’d see the ball passed forward to Calvert Lewin and his first touch would be backwards back over the halfway line followed by a massive effort just to poke the ball back to the bloke who had passed it to him, then everyone starts clapping his great hold up play?
He's essentially admitting he's not the greatest but appreciates the support and will always try his hardest.Thanks for posting, what a great attitude he has in some ways you can forgive some of his short comings because you know he is trying so hard and has a great relationship with the fans compare his attitude to Maupay
