I didn’t want to retain him but the point is he’s better than what we’ve got. He’s better than Beto. He miles better than Barry

People saying Beto should have scored. He hit a textbook header down at the ground with power. The goal keeper made a great save, and we scored from the rebound. I'm not saying Beto is the answer, but I give him credit for that contribution.
Barry is dreadful, what a waste of money.
Barry is 22, having made a step up into the most competitive league in world football. He's playing in a new team, new style of football, new country. I think he may need some time to acclimatise.
The problem is, he's very similar to Beto and we have little other option.
He's crap. Wont be here next year

It's like a slow bicycle race between two tortoises, this, but even in that context Beto is currently way ahead. He is at least affecting games occasionally. Barry looks lost. I can't really understand how our manager and our competent professionals have brought in so many players who seemingly cannot make an immediate impact - or even show signs of making ANY impact this season. Barry, Dibling, Röhl, and Aznou... That's well over 70m of...potential. I'm not sure we can afford such indulgence.

Whoever starts, the other one comes on and seems better.
Let's never have this discussion again
I'd prefer to be patient and allow players to have some time to adjust without expecting them to immediately make an impact. But you do you.
We'll see.
He's scored goals at every club he's been at, which says to me that he can adjust to different leagues and teams. I think the PL is a much bigger step up than he's had before. But I don't think we should write him off.

Honestly if Barry saw minutes with the same players I would not doubt his performance improves. I don't think it's all his fault. I think in most situations though Beto is a nuisance with the right lineup around him. Barry needs a bit more strength training.

That first bit is to do with your all round play and getting into a striking position, he is awful at that and not good enough to get in goal scoring positions. Once you have a chance on goal, leagues and levels mean nothing, you can either finish or you can’t, none of ours can.

He’s actually not similar to Beto. Doesn’t have his pace, desire or physicality.
