Had 3-4 chances tonight and really disappointing not to see him score at least 1. Great at hold up and getting into scoring positions but question marks remain for me over how clinical he is in front of goal.

He’s got the second best chance conversion rate in the Premier League

Wasn’t his usual self today. Which is why those around him need to step up for when he isn’t
 

Igor Thiago

Backing him to get 2 on Saturday!
Frustrating night for him obviously and you could see his anger at missing those opportunities and he was getting involved in all sorts of nonsense with Bruno and the ref.
That first chance just needed smashing home like he did at the GTech against Utd , do that and he’d probably have had a hat trick !!

21 goals in the PL shows me how clinical he is!!!!

Not a great time for a performance like that with the Brazil WC squad announcement coming up.
Thought he looked a bit tired v Fulham too.
Needs a strong last 4 games of the season.
 

Igor Thiago

He made a couple of bad split second judgements, so what, not the first.
Agreed.
But still think it was the "wrong" game to do it in/fluff his lines.
Only one PL game, and it's at Old Trafford. Millions watching around the world, including Ancelotti.
A couple of goals (even just one) and it would have been difficult to ignore the clamour/hype for him to go to the WC.
If he finishes the seaon with 6 games not getting on the scoresheet, will be a lot easier to leave him out.

As it happens it wasn’t just him that let down my bet builder but if I’d lost because he didn’t have a shot all match I’d be fuming!

I didnt see him getting involved with Bruno and the ref.
I saw him walking away and Bruno shoving him and screaming at him and the ref, knowing he will never get booked for it.

I wonder why that is... Couldn't possibly something to do with him being the captain of Manchester (do no wrong) United could it

After yesterday I would point to Benham's mention in that conference a month ago or so about how 'any model worth its salt' would have upgraded Beto after his match against us last year when he missed three chances because he GOT those chances. He's not going to score every opportunity but he did get those chances. He will grow more clinical over time and he's already the second highest scorer in the league.
 

Igor Thiago

Looks like he needs a rest can’t really except him to play every minute of every prem game.
 

Igor Thiago

He was booked in the match against us earlier this season.
Only because the ref had no choice but to book him, he gobs off continually, much of it directed at the officials and gets away with it 90% of the time, especially at Old Trafford
 

Igor Thiago

Needs to be more clinical...was a great chance in the first half but a really poor finish . Good pen though

He keeps getting in the right positions, that is the most pleasing thing at the moment. When it clicks and he gets that clinical streak in him, he'll be unstoppable (and he's already pretty bloody good!).

Goal scoring chances lead to goals, and Thiago himself has said that he didn’t expect to be scoring quite this many ( which maybe just modesty on his part). He still has age on his side though so there’s a good chance he’ll improve even more. It looks to me like he has the determination to succeed.
 

Igor Thiago

Big man has looked a bit tired in recent games.
Totally understandable bearing in mind the amount of work he gets through, and minutes he's played in first full PL season.

Needs a couple of big performances (and goal(s)) in televised games at City and Liverpool to cement his WC squad place.....
 

Igor Thiago

he's had a big seasom ,probably a bit of mental burn out


Nah, all forwards miss chances, Haaland went many gams without scoring, he is usually on double what he is now .

IT chases everything, he runs after every lost cause and is quite quick for a big fella. I was watching him yesterday, he barely stops.

This. We can all see it as Bees fans, he is so much more than a 9 for us, compare to Haaland who spends 95% of his time in the same place and touches the ball 8 times in a game, Igor is everywhere and leads from the front like no one I’ve ever seen for us, bar Fola Onibuje

14th most minutes played in the Prem this season. 7th if you remove goalies. And that's off the back of an entire season out. He has been magnificent and no surprise if his legs are feeling it a bit now. I'd be f***ed after 15 minutes 😂

The blokes a pro footballer all he has to do is remain fit and ready for 90 minutes each week… I have to deal with arsehole all week long and have no option to say I am a bit fatigued

Sorty to hear this.
Have you seen your GP?
 

Igor Thiago

Something is a miss. Seems to have lost a bit of spark and form at the wrong time for him. Again though, the hold up play and off the ball was excellent.
He's missed a few chances yea I agree, it happens, all the top strikers go through that just ask Haaland, but to say he's lost a bit of spark is taking it a bit far, did you not see his celebration after the penalty? He's as up for it as ever and I'm pretty sure he will be even more up for it when he's on the same pitch as Haaland next weekend!!!

Apologies if posted before/elsewhere but Atletico Madrid are plotting an 80m euro bid according to official reports, direct from the club, in the Spanish media. Spanish language link here...

£80 million pounds as a start perhaps

What price do you put on him this season?
Currently he is completely un-sellable, especially if people are keen to be in Europe next season.
Nobody else is near to double figures.
I can’t be arsed to work it out, but without his goals I’m willing to guess we’d have been bang in trouble this season.

Just like we was going to be this season without 🐍 & Mbuemo's?

You are usually very sensible so I’m a bit surprised at this. 😄
There is no way we can sell him this summer at any price.
👍
I was just responding to your comment:

"I can’t be arsed to work it out, but without his goals I’m willing to guess we’d have been bang in trouble this season."

really.
In as much as you can't just work out how few points we would have had with none of IT's goals. As someone else would have played in his place. And who knows how many they, and our other forwards (in totally different circumstances) would have got....

Agree though that I dont want him to go. 👍🙂
