2023/24 Beto

[dublinbluenose]

Struggling to make an impact. His touch and control has to improve and quickly.

 

[StHelensBlue]

I hope I'm wrong, I really do. However, I think he's a very poor player. His control and finishing is abysmal.

He's crap but every now and then he'll force somebody into an error that we pounce on.

 

[Blue_Eagle]

I don't think Beto has done anything different to what DCL normally does to be fair.

Might be a formation thingy majig

Harsh.

 

[N0L1M1TK]

Beto needs to be able to retain the ball. It's night and day this, DCL holds the ball up well and allows us to progress up the pitch.

We're being pinned in too often here.

 

[Zezti]

I thought he made it a tough game for the CBs so far.

 

[lieneverton]

Assuming another 15 mins and then we'll see DCL.

They’re playing the same formation.

He needs to hold the ball better. He’s less of an aerial threat so he needs to be much better with the ball at his feet.

His pressing and work as been fine.

 

[Kurt.]

He’s doing exactly what I guess he’s been told to do tonight… get yourself about and make it uncomfortable for their back 4 … I reckon Dyche will change it around 60 minutes and get DCL on

 

[MrD]

He looks like he's never been shown how to control a ball

 

[MisterJ]

He's doing his job really well

Keep him on till the 70th minute, then bring on Dom

 

[Bedfordblue]

Do t necessarily think he’s been poor, but I’m baffled why he’s started him here and not against spurs.
Spurs play a high line and are susceptible to balls over the top / in behind which seems to suit Beto.
Against these we need someone who the ball can stick to and draw free kicks from their defenders which seems more suited to DCL.
Unless Dyche had more or less written this game off so thought it was one to give Beto a start.

Controls it further than I can kick it

 

[pfim]

Tough opponent, but it’s the type of start that doesn’t get you another for a while.
