I know people won't like this but I'd start Barry next game.
NOT because he deserves it, just because Beto is always amazing off the bench. He's like Trossard at Arsenal, useless when you start him, bring him on though and he turns into a world beater.
Seriously though, amazing result against a really good team, fully expected to lose that.

The lads confidence will be even lower than it is now he probably wouldn't even touch the ball against city. the lad just looks absolutely lost. felt sorry for dibling as he was no worse than any of the other players in the 1st half. but was glad charly came on and started making runs in behind so we wasn't as predictable And was full of energy which gave Jack and ndiaye more space on the wings. Bring on CITY.

Was gutted for Beto not scoring that header but Charly is easily our best #10.

Got to agree swan, they are both so ineffective when starting it's unreal. Beto, to be fair, made a difference when he came on, for a change he wasn't wasting passes and looked lively. That said, that header was absolutely shocking from a few yards out, he should have burst the net himself. Luckily, we got a goal from that passage of play so it worked out in the end. Thankfully!

If you watch that header again he does everything right. He gets his neck muscles into the header, heads it down and but for the keeper sticking his leg out and having a bit of luck would have scored. To say it was a shocking header is nonsense.

Agree Dean. When you watch the replay of that header he came from a mile off, his timing was perfect. I thought he was unfortunate not to score.
Im desperate for young Barry to show us all something but he just isn’t. There’s plenty of more time to I guess.

Not at all, it was terrible and he was lucky the defender hit it against Jack and it went in or it would have been another terrible miss from a terrible player. The keeper was already on the floor!
To say he did everything right is nonsense as he didn't hit the net, from 2 or 3 yards but there will be some of you that still hang out of his backside like he's Dixie Dean incarnate!
For the record, that was probably the best beto has played in quite a while, especially this season. But if that was Barry missing that then he would be getting no benefit of the doubt from fans.

To just rectify part of my above post, that should have said the keeper was almost on the floor.
