Sell Him and Forget It Ever Happened’ – Duncan Ferguson Demands Immediate Beto Exit After Sunderland Shootout Shamble

Everton’s FA Cup campaign ended in humiliation at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday, and club legend Duncan Ferguson didn’t hold back, singling out Beto for a “gutless” performance.

​The Blues crashed out to Championship side Sunderland after a dire 1-1 draw led to a historic 3-0 penalty shootout defeat. While James Garner had rescued the tie with an 89th-minute penalty, the shootout was a catastrophe. Everton became the first top-flight team in decades to miss every single spot-kick, with Beto’s weak, low effort easily smothered by Sunderland keeper Robin Roefs.

​’No Pride, No Heart’

​Ferguson, watching from the stands as a guest of the club, was reportedly “livid” at the striker’s inability to hold the ball up or show any aggression against the Black Cats’ backline.

​”It was embarrassing. You’re wearing that shirt, you’re playing a lower-league side at home, and you’re being bullied,” Ferguson reportedly told club media. “The penalty was the final straw—no conviction, no heart. If it were up to me, you’d sell him in January and forget it ever happened. He’s not an Everton player.”

​The defeat leaves David Moyes with a mounting crisis, as a threadbare squad now faces the rest of the season with zero cup momentum. With the January window open, “Big Dunc’s” scathing verdict has echoed the frustrations of a Goodison faithful reaching their breaking point.
