Re: Beto
This whole he plays better off the bench is just bollocks IMO, it’s the old “correlation is not causation” thing
That appears to be the case cos if he’s coming on we are chasing and trying stuff and putting balls thru all of a sudden
When he starts, generally we are playing crap boring football, going sideways slowly and getting grealish penned in by his 3 markers
It’s the system/ tactics, that is the correlation and causation of better performances, not the minute in time he enters the pitch
Barry is just objectively worse in every regard, as it stands. Maybe he will come good m, but for me that will have to be off the bench

Re: Beto
Not only that, but I thought he attacked the ball like few others in the league would be capable of. Fast and loses a marker with ease.
That part of his game is pretty decent to be fair to him. He doesnt always get on the end of it though, but when it does...

Re: Beto
Decent point about the change in approach when we're trying to save the game. If we play to his strengths he will score. It's crazy playing the same balls to him that we know he can't deal with.fxceltic wrote: ↑Sun Oct 05, 2025 4:57 pm This whole he plays better off the bench is just bollocks IMO, it’s the old “correlation is not causation” thing

Re: Beto
I didn't see the game as my kid had a golf tournament, but watched the highlights today, thought he attacked the ball brilliantly and was unlucky not to score.
Main thing is he created the goal by aggressively attacking the ball and if he can do more of that it'll make a massive difference to our game.

Re: Beto
We need to start playing to his strengths instead of launching the ball up to his head when there's 2 defenders on him.
last season he was scoring goals from that clever run off of them...our tactics need to be smarter.
that's on Moyes.
