2024/25 Beto

In 30 mins he was on, he was brought down on edge of box, got 2 of their players booked, hit the bar and goal ruled out by the width of nats googly bits. 60 minutes of DCL was zilch. I'm not saying Beto is great but at the moment he is on the verge of starting and deserves some credit.

Exactly this.
He looks nowhere near PL level but when he's on we make chances.
Same as whenever we throw Keane up top.
It really shows the limitations Dom brings.
We keep talking up Dom as having better hold up play, and that no one would score goals with the service he gets yet here we are again this week with a donkey and a centre half getting in better positions given half the minutes Dom is getting
 
There is no doubt in my mind that Beto has to start and we need to play the ball ahead of him -- not repeat the DCL tactics.

In Italy the ball was played ahead of him and crossed into him -- he scored.

Certainly not a sitter with the ball smashed at him -- did well to get on the end of it and very close. World class finish for the (not) offside goal.

He has to be given a fair chance now and then see if Broja can be an impact sub once fit...and Chermiti.

Move to 442 soon i think...we need to be winning games and scoring goals.

It just shows me Dom isn't providing enough at the position. He has to score or create more chances. Even taking into account the style we play, I don't think he is effective.
 
Was on the pitch 30 minutes, smashed a more difficult than it looked at first effort off the bar, scored an absolutely brilliant take down and finish only for the abortion that is VAR to decide his nose being 2 mm bigger than the defenders was enough to change the decision on the field, and skinned the defender and left him for dead only t be brought down when clean through in what should hd e no doubt about it been a straight red.

Play the lad until Broja or chermiti are fit and give him that time to show if we keep or flog him

Calvert Lewin is one of the worst strikers in the league. Not a great option for comparison.

Not a great option to compare to but it’s what Dino dyche perseveres with and I don’t know why?As a striker he’s awful as is his form again! on top of that it looks like he will be out the door and we won’t get a penny from whoever he goes to. For any 1 of these reasons he shouldn’t be starting he is offering us sweet FA.on the other hand Beto puts himself about is more capable of scoring,makes things happen and gives opposition defenders something to actually think about and will probably still be here after lewin has gone.
 
He's a strange customer, he looks like he won a competition to get some games in the EPL. He is clumsy, has no idea how to win a high ball when he is challenged and then, just when you decide he should never be a professional footballer, he produces a finish like the one he had ruled for offside today. Never mind the fact that he was, marginally offside, the first touch and the finish were way beyond Calvert Lewin's capabilities.

He’s got a knack of getting in the right place at the right time.

He certainly disrupts the defenders.

No way DCL scores that disallowed goal either.

Play him.

DCL is not remotely arsed

We don’t know if Dom would or would not let’s be honest here, we don’t know either if Beto had been a step back that he would have finished so well. Same with the header off the bar, he scored from the same distance last week, Dom definitely would have today, any of them would
