2024/25 Beto

[MaximusEvertonius]

Beto is good when the exact thing he needs to happen with the exact perfect pass occurs. Clubs have easily figured him out and shut down the passing lanes to him. Absolutely no inventiveness. Chelsea’s a weak side this year and they’re making us look like League One here.

I mean.. Beto is cack.. but.. Chelsea have been decent with their pressing, and are 4th in the league, hardly a weak season from them

Cannot play him and Doucoure together

The difference in the way he tries to hold the ball up and the way Jackson actually does is chalk and cheese.

 

[Lanolin]

I’ve said it before and will say it again, to play up front for a side like us you have to be able to hold the ball up, it’s non negotiable. People living in a dream world where we just play glorious slide rule balls for him to run on to 50 times a game.

….its a basic requirement for any central striker, not just one who plays for us. Jackson has been excellent with his back to goal, it’s fundamental.

Beto has made the decision about keeping him or not an easy one.

To an extent yes, but obviously the less of the ball you have, the less you control the game, and the less pace you have in the side to break with, the more you need someone to hold the ball up. It’s a useful skill for any team, it’s an absolute requirement for teams like us.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Based on the past few weeks he will have to move on

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

That was a fantastic strike right there from Beto. That was the only thing I’ve seen decent today. Got to give credit, though.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

I know he will shoulder some blame for the goal but why not play to his strengths. He can't hold the ball up well but is a real threat playing on the shoulder of the centre back so play the ball over the top the one time we gave him space to run into with the ball at his feet and he gets a decent shot away.

Moyes blaming Beto for the goal. “He has to retain it…”

Moyes blaming Beto for the goal. “He has to retain it…”

I was surprised by that,not something he normally does. Pickford must take some of the blame,the defender was tight on Beto and knowing that he's not good with his back to goal giving it to him inside the centre circle in our half wasn't the best choice. Both centre backs had switched off as well. Jackson had all the time in the world.

Paving the way for departure. Possibly fed up of telling him
