2025/26 Beto

[MikeH72]

Bit harsh, he headed it down which is textbook and the whole goal to aim at is a bit of an exaggeration

No it’s not.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Lads, I’ll say this just one more time. It was a terrible miss and it was harder to not score.

Good save by Pickfords international back up.

 

[Marcus Kendall]

Not having it. If Grealish wasn’t in the spot absolutely no one would be calling it a brilliant header

I didn't say it was a brilliant header but it was textbook and not a sitter like some have said

 

[Marcus Kendall]

No it’s not.

Ohh Mike I assume you've never played football in your life because if you did you'll realise he had the goalkeeper to beat and he had to attack the ball because of the height of the cross which makes placing it not straightforward

Obviously not, because it was Beto.

This is some next level delusion and twisting of events like, it’s like being back in the summer transfer window thread all over again.

You like to criticise our players Mike I've noticed. Beto might not be the best striker around but he helped us turn the match around in our favour and his header contributed to our winning goal so what's to moan about?

 

[Zigzigsputnik]

Think the header itself was dreadful, on another day would of cost us big time.

In my top 3 GOT discussions of all time this one.

As many people have pointed out already, on another day in the future he will do that and we won’t put in the rebound. Then the conversation on here will look very different.

We should be demanding better from our expensive centre forwards when presented with a free header 10 yards out in the middle of the goal.

Well it wasn't an easy chance and I've seen Haaland miss easier chances so I'm not demanding anything from a striker who is never going to score everytime. I agree we need better than Beto but to criticise him for that header is harsh imo. Plus we can't afford elite strikers so there's no point holding Beto to that standard and demanding it off him

Michael Keane would’ve buried that let alone an elite striker.

Haha you're on a wind up. Thanks for the light entertainment Mike

So we can only criticise the elite players?

No you can criticise whens it fair. Criticise Beto's first touch and lack of basic skill but criticising him for a header which wasn't a sitter and forced a good save from the keeper isn't really the right way to criticise imo
