He played under 3 poor managers. Wwn he has a good manager he scored goals, and he looked better under a other good manager.

He was also injured a lot too.

It's a shame he broke down under Moyes really.

And yes Beto is having a great patch and might get to Dom levels under Carlo. He deserves to stay in the team.

Dyche didnt ask him to hit the keeper on every occasion.The goal is very wide and Bambi needs glasses!

His injury record alone is worrying to even offer him a basic contract TBH - I can see him heading to the far east TBH ... to get the money he is asking for ......

Your probably right on this one or potentially the USA. Like the lad hearts in the right place but we aren't exactly in a position to accept the potential risk of more injuries.

Going to judge him on not staying fit as well. Oh thanks for that goal we should be so appreciative that for once he done his job and scored one, if he didn’t miss chances we might not need him in desperate times, same for Doucoure and the others if they was better footballers we wouldn’t need a last game win to stay up. I will judge them on what they do overall not single games no matter how important a goal might be and the 2 mentioned aren’t good enough.

Yeah isnt a good enough mention that if he didnt score we would be in the championship? You can nit pick all you want and ignore his contributions but we would of been travelling to championship stadiums this season. Theres some mad narrative about Dom where people act like hes done absolutley nothing for us, and people refuse to accept all the other circumstances behind POOR goal scoring form (sometimes his fault sometimes not) people will sit here and criticize dom for not scoring when hes been injured a season "oh look he only scored 5 goals that season" even though he missed a total of 37 games that season due to injury, he was playing for a manager who slaps his players, who didnt play beto (which i said he said ALL season) in a 442 his main formation his entire managerial career because he "wasnt good enough" and thats just the last manager, who gets praise for keeping us up? Yet dom gets critized for not scoring enough and when he did he kept us in this league.

Yeah you can't actually say that. Who's to say we wouldn't have scored more without him? It's impossible to say. But he did score against Palace and he has scored 17 in 4 years. Take the whole thing into account, if a team's MAIN striker scores 57goals in 9 years, wouldn't you say that's not a great striker?

Not replying to that as if you actually ready instead of jumping on bandwagons you'll see the 4 years thing isnt fair. Whos to say if we had better managers he would of scored more? But no cant ask that can i? Beto scored how many in a season and a half before moyes came in? Would his stats of said he was good enough to be our main striker? Not at all. Same with dom under dyche. He plays 2 games for moyes and scores a goal. (admittedly a third of his entire tally for the season up untill then)
 
I like the new defense tactic of "if he had better managers he would have scored more." The fact is when given chances to score under said "poor managers" he failed to do so. Putting the ball into the back of the net has nothing to do with the manager. Getting the ball played to you might but scoring doesn't. He's a poor finisher outside of the 6 yard box. Missed a lot of goals others in his position convert.

Time for him and Everton to part ways.

Its not a new defence logic its a logical defence. I'll just go off your 6 yard box logic, ok so hes a bad finisher outside of the 6 yard box. So we play a style where hes is in the oposition HALF by himself nowhere near the 6 yard box. Does that sound like good like the manager plays to his strength? No. Moyes comes in and second game he is scoring from the 6 yard box. Hmmmmm. Carlos comments on dom (a good manager) echos what you say about 6 yard box dom, and look at the results. Beto before moyes came looked more like a wwe wrestler under slaphead. Then once again a better manager comes and look at beto now when we play to his strengths and actually implement ATTACKING runs into training for the first time since before dyche and now beto is a clinical finisher (even him under dyche when he had shots was not clinical at all and more likely to give a foul away) but yeah managers have no say on how a player plays obviously...

The main issue is he did himself no favors by missing a lot of quality chances. Regardless of the build up play, when the ball was at his feet he didn't finish. That's his job, finish chances. Several months of not converting has nothing to do with tactics. It boils down to the players ability to stay composed and finish. He didn't. He's been stealing a wage for some time and its best to move on. He doesn't score any of those goals Beto has scored in the past 3 games. He's proven that he can't score those goals. Nothing to do with tactics. Sorry

Are you thick? Dom had one purple patch and never before or after has come close. I've watched with my own eyes how Beto, given Dom's minutes, has converted his chances...shock and awe. Tactics play a part but players have to be able to finish the chances. Dom doesn't finish, look at his stats.

Not worth arguing with you, you think Dom's lack of goals is down to manager. Never said it has NOTHING to do with tactics. (small part) At the end of the day its down to the player who is the one kicking the ball. And in Dom's case it very rarely was into the back of the net.

Take it you didnt read that article no? Take it you didnt read my comments saying its doms fault he didnt finsh aswell no? Take it you didn't read YOUR OWN comment about it has "nothing to do with tactics" no? No point arguing with you, you are right friend.
 
When fit and confident, I think DCL adds a lot to a team - aerial ability, holding up the ball, bringing others into play, getting us up the pitch etc... - but sadly not the one thing that he needs to in addition to all those, clinical finishing on a consistent basis (yes, I know that most strikers other than the elite rely on purple patches). In some ways I wonder if he has become an 'off-the-bench' option, which he has never been here because of our lack of options and I doubt he would be happy with that longer term.

I honestly do not know where he will end up. In terms of staying in the Prem, if not with us, it would surely have to be as backup somewhere if a bigger club, as I can't see him wanting to go to a promoted side just to be first choice. If Wilson leaves Newcastle as expected, would he go there to be back-up to Isak? Perhaps Silva would fancy him at Fulham similar to getting a couple more years out of Jimenez. Don't think anyone of any note from France or Germany would come calling - perhaps a mid-table Italian team? Can't see any Saudi sides splashing that much cash on someone who misses so many games (albeit less than Neymar!)
