2025/26 Beto

Has to be testing the keeper when through on goal. I know it was then given (incorrectly) as offside, but has to hit the target.

We can’t keep throwing chances away against everyone. Test the keeper as a minimum.
 

Add the payments for Beto & Barry - we could have got one number 9 that has more calibre than them two combined....
A 20 year old full back changed the game for city by overlapping & delivering good crosses their no 9 needed no invertation to try those goals - as usual our team stamina just ran out in the 2nd half again v a top side...
 
I agree those chances Beto had weren’t ideal and not every striker converts. I just don’t like that he’s so one dimensional. Has to be a perfect through ball or nothing else.
He's a Sunday league footballer if you look at his background, not academy produced hence why he's so raw. He's a great lad who strives to improve but the clear fact is his limitations will always hold him back so ideally we'll sell him and buy a more polished striker going forward (this isn't Chris
Wood!)
 

Should have done better with what little chances he had but Im starting to feel like asking him to be clinical is asking him to do something he's not capable of.

In terms of what he is capable of, I actually thought he did well today, was a nuisance to both centre halves in the air and made lots of good runs.
 
Bit if a high bar! I actually think he looked much improved today even if he didn’t slot one away.

Its not if you actually read what i wrote instead of taking one particular sentence out of context.

I literally put that i wasnt talking about haarlands goal scoring ability. I was talking abou the other stuff that anyone with two legs can do while up top.

Its not enough to do a run once or twice per match. You have to be constantly doing them for the whole time your on the pitch.

Harrland never stops moving while hes playing hes constantly drifting into space or making runs, the defence can never relax while their playing against him.

Beto on the other hand stands infront of the opposition cbs like a traffic cone for 90% of the match. He's genuinely useless on the break.

Yeah, but he’s probably the best striker in the world. Hes worth 10 times what Beto is. It’s like comparing Willie Falconer to Alan Shearer!

For what he is Beto did pretty well. The fact his all-round game looked improved today was a good sign. He’s not going to be up against such good defenders every week.

No, its not.

If i was comparing haarlands finishing with betos it would be but not just working hard off the ball.

Answer me this, is haarlands a better player then beto because he makes runs or does he make runs because hes a better player then beto?

Off the ball what is there that haarland does that beto cant do? Nothing. So why is haarland so much better off the ball then beto? Work ethic and persistence.

Beto stands still infront of cbs for the majority of the game she plays in haarland never stops moving and giving options to his team mates.
