2023/24 Beto

[NilSatisOptimum]

Can we give him a bit longer before we decide he is useless.

You joined here 11 years ago and I assume you have followed Everton for longer and you still have optimism in the fan base. Astounding!

 

[GrandOldTeam]

He's raw, but he's a real presence. He needs time to settle before we can be conclusive.

He'll be doing Calvert-Lewin the world of good too.

I'm enjoying that we have another number 9 for when Calvert-Lewin is unavailable, or for when we need another option.

I think if we had him last season we wouldn't have gone down to the wire to stay up.

 

[Zeitgeist]

Would have gotten him on 10 mins earlier

 

[Mrtallywacker]

A disgusting one to be fair, Your Eminence.

Indeed my son, but he will be judged as he would judge others.

God bless.

P.s give Beto some time and patience and I think we have a very capable striker.

 

[Firhillfill]

Two seasons in Italy where he scored double figures in each.



Lucky his fee was £21.5mil then isnt it?

Ah, as long as it was only £21.5m

 

[dockroad]

His shirt looks two sizes too big for him. I know he's a big lad, but no need to be giving him XXXL shirts ffs.

At least he's not wearing Rondon's shorts

 

[GoldenToffee]

I'm personally not seeing anything that others are mentioning here.

I thought he was supposed to be rapid yet haven't seen him sprint; I thought he was supposed to be brilliant in the air, yet he's winning about 50% of aerial duals at best; I thought he's supposed to be a decent finisher but he's already got at least 2-3 clear chances horribly wrong.

He seems to just plod around the field not doing very much.

Let's have it for what it really is: He must have been the only striker available on a no-downpayment deal that was willing to join us in our moment of desperation.

Not writing him off because he's barely played, but initial impressions aren't making me very optimistic.

I think that's quite a fair summary, and I hope he comes good because he appears to have a good personality and mature head on his shoulders.

The bloke on Toffee Tv was saying that Beto looks ok when he starts games but
is a bit of a lard when he comes on as sub.

Cutting edge analysis from Toffeetv as always.

 

[teppic]

These days I'm just suspicious that clubs are unloading players they don't want to us.

Really hope he improves.

No mate. Everton fans don't need time to make an assessment. After one half vs the worst League Two side we knew straight away Beto was boss and was going to save our season. After a few sub appearances in the Premier League it's obvious he's total crap unfortunately.

By the way, Harrison is probably the best right winger in the prem.

 

[Thomasc]

He’s come into a much tougher and quicker league.

He needs a bit of time to settle then adapt. Once he does that he will be an asset IMO.

He’s been involved in one way or another in 6 league games in total, mostly off the bench.

Definitely a massive improvement on an option to when DCL is missing or unavailable.

Also think just needs get his first prem goal to settle him down, is what u say getting the team to play to his strengths and him having more of a connection with the squad that will hopefully come with time

 

[witchdoc187]

Might need more than one start and a handful of sub appearances to completely adjust to premier League football

 

[Rita_Poon]

Will be fine, now the midfield seems to have found its level they'll start to learn where he wants the ball and work to get him in. Absolute faith in him.
