Think dropping him worked, was more like the Beto we know when he came in, got stuck in and put himself about.
Like a train when he gets in his stride too, got the players in the side now to play balls behind, do that and there’s no stopping him
Rather he just boot it long form the off instead of having to watch him pass it back and forth with Keane for 30 seconds before he inevitably just boots it long anyway
Too much of a liability played that deep, positioning can be awful and has a habit of going wandering with no one to cover him. Probably why he looks better more forward because we don’t get punished as bad
Maybe he feels like he has to be the one to do it all by himself seeing how useless his teamates are but sometimes he just needs to play it simple after he’s dragged a few players towards him instead of letting himself get outnumbered
Usually a fan of his and think in the right set up he will slot but Jesus Christ he was dreadful there, it’s one thing if he’s not getting the service but he wasn’t even doing his usual of making a nuisance of himself by putting himself about
Absolute sausage this feller, brings unnecessary pressure onto us whenever he’s in possession because he has to wait an eternity for the cog in his head to turn before he plays the usual slow 5 yard pass into the left back or to tarkowski by which time they’re already getting closed down.
His decision making can be really poor sometimes, holds on to the ball far to long trying to take on 2-3 players too many instead of just passing the ball off after he’s drawn them in.
