2024/25 Beto

[Joey66]

Hes no threat whatsoever. Runs around like a headless chicken. Absolute joke of a so called footballer.

I saw better CF in the semi pro league back in the 1990s - more adept better in holding the ball up & a greats scoring record - Beto would have missed another pen last night ...

Was sat near the dug outs last night and was quite shocked after Southampton scored to hear Ian Woan scream, “Beto! Beto! That’s all on you!!” Not sure how that is leadership or helpful in any way.

After that, both Woan and Dyche were hammering him the whole game as a succession of hopeful/hopeless balls were launched in his vague direction and he unsurprisingly struggled to do anything with them. As they were clearly blaming him for everything, I wasn’t surprised they took him off, and even less surprised that Ndiaye struggled even more to do anything with the “passes” now launched up to him instead. Strangely, once McNeil had been moved into the ten role, I’m sure we might have seen the best of Beto - or at least finally played to his strengths - but by then of course he’d been dragged off.

It’s absolutely no surprise that his confidence is shot.

Ironically the best i have seen of Beto was the last ten minutes agaist Tranmere, when sherif came on and played in a partnership with him, looked a different player.
Then again Dyche had left the game by then so he will not have seen it.
He is limited but thought he did OK last night
Fail to see how anybody could look good on there own with the ball getting lumped up to him with two central defenders on him and no support, not just Beto anybody in that position.

Just not the standard required.

How much did he cost again?

A good example of why we are in the mess we are.

I saw this too, woan and dyche were berating him all half, no idea what they were telling him to do, dyche was making some sort of hand gesture like go forward sideways back? Beto looked like he wanted to chin them, don't know what he was meant to do spent the game chasing the ball like a dog with a tennis ball with their defenders playing it between themselves with no help from anyone else

If they're telling players to go forward sideways back in not surprised they all look confused

I thought Beto did okay yesterday. He got mauled a bit by their defence, and played a couple of decent through balls for Jesper Lindstrøm to mess up.

 

[DL100]

i dont think he should be fully judged until he has 5-6 starts in the Prem.

handful of starts and appearances here and there isnt enough for a striker

 

[Professor Toffee]

I think his name should be omego

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Beto is clearly not that great but his three goals this season have come on 83, 86 and 92 minutes which suggests to me the one thing he can do is grind down and outlast defenders with his physical style.

If you’re going to start him it totally wastes what little he does give you to then bring him off, especially if you’re not replacing like for like.

2nd touch is a tackle. Sunday league standard.
Then again players at that level have a far better touch in fairness

Absolutely abysmal player as we all knew after we'd seen him for about 10 minutes.

 

[JJK]

Whoever scouted him should be embarrassed.

Keane could probably do a better stint upfront than Beto

I genuinely don't doubt that. He can head , strike and control a ball better .

The only thing that Beto has over him is pace. I was actually astonished that Dyche didn't put Keane up top when he took Beto off.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Still can't get over that header from the Ndiaye cross.

Mesmerising.
