Don't be pedantic we signed him from Rangers .....

We signed Lukaku from Chelsea but it still doesnt make him an English Striker.

Luckily we dont have many 2 games weeks after this 1, so he will get a rest.

But we need options up there for sure.

It's not the 2 games a week that's an issue, as the players had a bit of time off after Palace

Beto simply isn't fit enough/doesn't have the body type to play 90 mins

Also, the majority of prem sides will swap their striker out at some point in the game except for City with Haaland because he's after the goal records, and Wood with Forest because he's bang in form and they have no one else

I am made up for Beto - but a certain Scottish striker only did score goals for us for a short spell - then fizzled out, Jelavich ... He is gaining confidence & puts 100 % in that will do me - our team is set up now under DM that suits him - Dyche played him & DCL all wrong ultra Defensive -

Rangers will suffer if Dyche goes there....

I mean I could think of another striker with a double barreled name you could apply that to.

One that people apparently want to walk back into this side.

He needs to conserve energy a little sometimes he is running around the whole defence trying to press alone which sometimes is pointless.
That's why is blowing for tugs around the 70 minute mark.

I'm sure whatever he is doing for the most part is an instruction from Moyes

Not so sure, he was like that under the other fella when he came on. (trying to impress too much)

Maybe he is the one who 'triggers' the press.

Just sometimes i think he can save his energy, right now we cant replace him during games late on.
Think the whole team is like that to be honest, give everything for an hour and then tire. Thats a squad /injuries issue

We definitely need another body to throw on around the 70th minute to give him a breather. Most of these dudes are about to be on their 5th game in a week and a half here. These stretches are the toughest and test your fitness. Thankfully Beto has not had too many games under his belt overall so I don't see him picking up a freak injury atm. Still need to get bodies back.

I don’t even think it’s trying to impress, I think he just doesn’t necessarily understand the concept of pressing very well. Moyes has improved it, but yeah he still sometimes goes on mad and unnecessary charges.

If you want to be pedantic we borrowed him whilst Chelsea loaned him.

I don't see him shattering his knee into a million pieces after kicking the ground in an awkward fashion is what I meant. Hopefully the ligaments are still fresh
