….its a bit of a nonsense point you make, you make it sound like Young replaced Beto up front.
If you watched the game you’d sure have noticed how we were increasingly open on our defensive left side. McNeil was poor against Cornet in the first half but he may as well not been there in the 2nd, they were walking through him. Dyche had to replace McNeil and Young’s introduction certainly improved us defensively.
Hopefully you noticed Ndiaye was the one who replaced Beto as central striker. An attacking axis of Ndiaye, Lindstrom, McNeil and Harrison finished the game. The type of players posters have been calling on Dyche to play, hardly conforming to hoofball. There is a discussion whether we’d have been better had Beto remained on the pitch but the replacement of Young at LB was clearly needed.
Regardless of all the ante-Young furor, I’ve not heard anybody suggest a better back-up LB option available to Dyche. He shouldn’t be near the side but sadly he’s the best Dyche has, the contrast was clear with McNeil last night.
Perhaps it’s more to do with recruitment than Dyche and Young.
