Exactly this. Beto is half-decent as our centre forward. But we need someone else to put pressure on him and come in at times during the season (and with 15/20 mins to go)
This thread beggars belief. I love the comments on the Yak and Rom. Basically our only top quality strikers in over two decades. Beto is probably not the long term answer but we don’t have the money to replace him right now. Goals should come...
Yeah, but he had the raw tools, I think. Imagine you added the old centre forward toolkit to his game? That sort of physicality you’d get from Mark Hughes, Big Dunc and the like. He could become a brilliant player if he puts in the effort and it...
And even if he doesn't improve, he's still more than capable. Maybe its a style over substance thing, Yakubu made finishing look a work of art but he didnt do f all else by the time he reached us. Just keep banging them in Beto lad.
Exactly. Back in days of yore managers would develop players and make them better. Beto looks the real deal as a finisher to me and if he adds to his all-around game he’ll be a top player in the league.
Well your favourite manager Dyche didnt get a tune out of him, and 17th was acceptable to you not top 10. He's scoring much more freely under Moyes.
We have a lot of rebuilding to do, 15 goal strikers aren't growing on trees anymore like the...
I do think Moyes is trying to play better football which Beto will need to adapt to. I don't think we should ignore Beto's strengths and weaknesses though like we did against Leeds. You do want to get him in situations where he is on the last...
quick look at the minutes beto has played each game since moyes took over compared to the amount of goals beto has scored.
If my maths is correct beto is averaging a goal to match ratio of 0.54

Fair play to him. Awkward as hell, loses the ball too much. But gets relatively decent results. Hopefully him and Barry putting pressure on each other and better service from our upgraded squad he'll improve.
