Confirmed Signing Beto

[Kevsleftpeg]

Why? Maupay did nothing when he came on against the bottom team in football league.

He actually played well. Got on the ball a lot, found space in good areas, good link up play and helped create our goal. If he carries on playing like that (big if) he should be in the team.

Didn’t watch the game but my Leeds supporting mate was and said Beto looks for real. Hope he can make a big impact in the PL. Looks a handful on those highlights.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

….certainly played like football matters to him. Not subtle, his game looks more about application and physicality. He could make a difference.

Big old fashioned forward. Big Beto, stand aside Dunc.

Watching him actually gave me hope. Him with McNeil and Harrison creating out wide will see us right.

I’m not a great fan of maupay but think he’ll perform better in that space than doucoure

He seemed to raise the level of everyone else around him. God knows we need that!

Onana especially seemed to improve once Beto was on the field and he had a better outlet for some of his passing.

The way Betty took his goal was encouraging. Instinctual.

I hate Everton. They always tease you with vague optimism.

Watching this lad last night I couldn't help but feel I was watching Muhammad Ali morphed into a footballer. Speed, power, intelligence and aggression, yet graceful. Our season is saved - UTFT!

Anyone got a clip of his header and the goals?

That Ole Ole lark needs packing in.

Extended highlights. You get a sense of how bad we were as well.

Was going to reply to @Eggs to say a similar thing, when you get someone who does wholeheartedly apply themselves, it is kind of contagious and helps lift everyone.

It also helps that your teammates know you can put the ball in the back of the net. Obviously very early days given the opposition but if he can keep on scoring the confidence goes up, the negativity evaporates and those players can then chip in with goals as suddenly they aren't weighed down by the pressure of we probably only score one goal. Every chance was therefore built to almost a life and death scenario.

A crap R9 imitation which mens beto is actually good as i rate the fat Ronaldo as the greatest striker of all time

The best player of all time is your preference over Pele, Maradona and Messi. Generational players, the lot of them.

The best 9 of all time is fat Ronaldo barreling down at you, while you pray for deliverance from a higher power.

its absolutely criminal that R9 has been relegated to “fat Ronaldo”

Should have taken better care of himself after footy, then.

It sort of fits. Him rumbling down at you was like some three-hundred-pound defensive end who just recovered the oblong-ball, and is not taking no for an answer.
