I don't. I don't think the criticism of Beckford is warranted to be honest based on how he's being used. His touch was horrid yesterday. Absolutely terrible. That's something that can and should get better with continued training/playing. A lone striker he is not.
I envisioned that he be used with another striker. Will that happen? I don't know because Moyes is reluctant to use two up front. Right now, I doubt he gets to play with Saha as Cahill probably won't be dropped.
My short memories comment probably wasn't appropriate in this thread as it referred more to players like Rodwell, Yak, Fellaini, etc....
I kinda jumped on the short memory comment when it was more aimed at Neilers "just one game" comment, its often used after we have a poor performance when in reality, just like yesterday people are frustrated 1 game of many, not just one on its own.
And that ties in with Beckford, wasn't just yesterday which ws a problem, there are other games as well.
Luckily most people haven't singled out any individual players for poor performances yesterday, especailly those who more often than not give good performances, then you'd be correct to use the short memories line.
