2024/25 Beto

[Cels]

Just give Beto a proper run of games ffs. He smashed a header off the bar and had a goal disallowed today, so at least he's getting in and around the action and causing problems for the opposition.

​

 

[knowing your history]

Has to start next week.

Completely forgot he spun away from Bednarek (which was on the edge of being red card).

West Ham CBs aren't the quickest so he could get a bit of joy against them.

 

[SJB]

He'll start against West Ham then we'll remember how bad he is and we'll be saying Calvert-Lewin has to start the next game. History repeats.

 

[The Littlest Yobo]

Start him. Maybe have the manager actually talk him up rather than condescendingly tell him what he needs to do. Would rather him than the completely ineffective “striker” we have who averages 6 goals a season who wants £150k a week.

 

[Leylo]

I know but got to try something Calvert doesn't look arsed at the moment

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

More confidence and at least has a bit of passion. DCL looks lost.

 

[Bkk Andy]

Ok, he was a touch offside, but DCL couldn't replicate that touch and finish in a 1,000 years. It's time to give Beto a proper run. Even if he proves he's not good enough, we're not losing much, if anything, from what we have today.

 

[BlueInNZ]

Despite his limitations I bet EPL defenders would face DCL than Beto.

 

[NSNO1878EFC]

Once Chermiti and Broja are fit, I’m not sure Beto will see much game time. Wouldn’t be surprised if he left in January actually.

 

[evertondotcom]

Beto is a nightmare to play against because no one knows what he’s going to do. Beto included.

The way he skinned the CB today and left him for dead was impressive.

 

[TheBigIguana]

He should play more. He’s bad but he’ll score. Modern day Niasse if we let him be and he wants to. He wanted to today and was a bit unlucky.

 

[Walken]

Looks a more likely goalscorer right now, whether that is the case if he starts will be the question. Worth a go imo

 

[Gilbert..]

Start him just for the hungry to play aspect alone. Its like we're an inconvience right now for calvert lewin bless him.

 

[Harryflashman]

He'll start against West Ham then we'll remember how bad he is and we'll be saying Calvert-Lewin has to start the next game. History repeats.

I think he’s look poor when he’s started but when you’re talking about DCL you’re comparing him when he was trying , something he patently isn’t doing at the minute. That changes the calculations

 

[blueblue]

The argument for keeping DCL in the team ahead of Beto is getting weaker with each game.
I don't know what is the issue with DCL but at the moment he looks absolutely toothless, almost disinterested.

Beto, on the other hand is now playing the way we would want our striker to full, full of endeavour and commitment. He may be limited in certain areas of his game but even those will improve somewhat if he gets regular game exposure.

I have been a big fan of DCL for years but now I can't see any reason for him to stay in the team.
