Everton legend Duncan Ferguson didn’t hold back following the Toffees’ demoralizing 2-1 defeat to West Ham United. While several players struggled in the capital, “Big Dunc” reserved his most scathing assessment for striker Beto, whose performance he described as fundamentally lacking the quality required for a club with European ambitions.
​The Portuguese forward, who has struggled for consistency since his arrival, endured a nightmare afternoon at the London Stadium. Squandering two clear-cut opportunities before being hauled off, Beto’s technical deficiencies were laid bare. Ferguson, speaking as a guest pundit, pulled no punches regarding the forward’s future at Goodison Park.
​”With his feet, technically, he’s just not there,” Ferguson stated bluntly. “If Everton want to go far in European football next season, they need to let him go. You cannot compete at that level without a clinical edge.”
​A Performance to Forget
​The stats from the match paint a grim picture for the £25 million signing. Beto’s inability to hold the ball up or provide a focal point allowed West Ham to mount wave after wave of pressure. His lack of composure in front of goal proved to be the turning point; had he converted his first-half sitter, the complexion of the game would have shifted entirely.
