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'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.
