adminFollowing Everton’s disappointing 2-1 loss to West Ham United, club icon Duncan Ferguson delivered a brutally honest critique. While many players underperformed in London, “Big Dunc” aimed his harshest criticism at striker Beto, claiming the forward simply doesn’t possess the quality needed for a team aiming for European football.
The Portuguese striker, who has struggled to find consistency since joining, had a nightmare outing at the London Stadium. After missing two clear chances and getting substituted, Beto’s technical shortcomings were exposed. Ferguson, serving as a guest pundit, didn’t mince words about the striker’s future at Goodison Park.
“Technically, with his feet, he’s just not there,” Ferguson said candidly. “If Everton want to go far in European competition next season, they need to let him go. You can’t compete at that level without a killer instinct.”
A Day to Forget
The match statistics painted a bleak picture for the £25 million signing. Beto’s inability to retain possession or serve as a target man allowed West Ham to continuously build pressure. His lack of poise in front of goal was a critical turning point—converting that first-half sitter could have completely changed the game.
