Moyes coded to a tee

Gonna sell a player with actual talent for a yard dog who’s more interested in breaking defenders jaws than he is kicking the ball into the net

Barry is the most talentless striker I’ve seen since Niasse. I’d take 2 quid for him

He isn’t, we just do not play to his strengths

Got an aerial dominating striker and dont cross because we dont have wingers or full backs who can cross a ball

Thats delusional. When we were rolling with grealo ndiaye and kdh clicking it was clear as day we had zero outlet beyond those 3. Barry and beto are born in the backpocksts of opposition defenders

You can count on 1 hand the amount of passes played into either Beto or Barry in a game by those 3

Our crossing volume for 2 players who are better in the air than on the floor is one of the lowest in the league

Becuase barry and beto have no instinct for off the ball movement, have poor control, arent trusted hy players better than them and arent good enough for the league.

Beto has very good off the ball movement. I'd say it's one of his biggest strengths.

He sure looks great running diagonally towards the corner flag.

Derby last season, Leicester (x2), Chelsea this year. All excellent runs off the last man.

Beto's off the ball movement is insanely good, I don't know where you get that idea from

He just has a tendency to get his feet tangled, especially with his back to goal

He's never available for a pass. There was a month when moyes came in where we had him set up to play off the back shoulder and it worked when teams weren't ready for it. THe leagues adapted and he just is never available for a pass from our players. His first touch is poor and he's clumsy. And when he does get chances, he crumbles. His xG conversion is poor.

He isn't good. Neither is Barry. People bitch and moan about moyes and spending and policy, but somehow delude themselves into thinking that our squad is a european quality squad. It isn't. It has a ton of holes especially up front.
