Beto lets down two Everton teammates as horrifying numbers emerge from draw vs West Ham
Beto has heavily struggled at Everton so far this season.
To date, the striker has only netted once in the Premier League this campaign, during the 3-2 win over bottom-placed Wolves, and has shown no signs of ending this drought anytime soon.
Against West Ham, Beto was poor once again, with the striker eventually hooked by David Moyes as they drew 1-1.
The match was no doubt two points dropped, with the striker’s failure to find the back of the net becoming a massive concern.
Beto has only managed one shot on target in last four competitive matches
One of the biggest concerns regarding Beto, is his ability to get himself into good positions.
The striker is rarely finding spaces to have an effort on goal, which only adds to his awful performances.
Now, a shocking stat has emerged, explaining that Beto has only managed to have one shot on target in his last four matches in all competitions.
This totals to 234 minutes of football on the pitch, which has seen the attacker produce few results.
- Beto has already played eight times this campaign
- However, he has only found the net twice in all competitions, with one coming against League One Mansfield
- His last Everton goal came at the end of August in a 3-2 victory over Wolves
However, it isn’t as if chances aren’t being created. Everton’s Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are first and third for key passes in the Premier League this season, showing that there is creativity in this side.
Considering Beto cost Everton £25.8million, he is massively letting down his teammates with these horrific stats.
If Moyes wasn’t considering dropping the striker before, it must now be one of the key questions on his mind going into the Crystal Palace game on Sunday.
Thierno Barry needs to be given a run in the starting XI
While Thierno Barry hasn’t shone either when he has played for Everton, Beto cannot keep starting for the Toffees in his current form.
Barry simply has to be given a run in the starting XI to see if he can finally end the Merseyside club’s woes in front of goal.
While the attacker is still adapting to the Premier League, Beto’s form has meant that time is running out for the summer signing to achieve this.
Therefore, against Palace, Barry must simply start, as he surely can’t do any worse than Beto.
