Did you not see the headed attempt at the weekend… eyes closed, zero idea where the ball was gonna connect.

Yes, I saw one shot he took.
4th most headed shots and 5th most headed goals in La Liga last season though. His heading is fine:

What are the numbers like though? As I don’t remember La Liga really being a cross & head kinda league.
All I know is any time we’ve punted it up to him he’s failed with his head. For 6’5” it’s unacceptable. Beto is the same.
Top 2% of strikers in Europe for percentage of aerial duels won last season which is insane. Nothing's certain in football but that suggests he'll be at least good at that once he settles here.
Yeh I read that before he joined and though that’s great as we have a lot of attackers wanting flick-ons but so far… it’s like he’s wearing a helmet.
I know we have fairly polar opposite views on Barry but for me I just get the feeling he'll grow a LOT over his first year with us. Everything points to that for me - his age, him being a somewhat late bloomer, him not having had much good coaching yet, his physical profile, his history of stepping up to a new level every season for the last ~4 years. I'm just confident in the long run I think, I just think things will start to click.
Yeh his role this season should be the sub striker who is given time, but sadly Beto is crap so that’s not the case. Really need a more polished experienced forward.
Just hope he’s not picked up Koldrupitis from the training ground given his apparent lack of aerial prowess.
