It will be far better for him and for us that he did. There was little he could contribute this season, and he will get invaluable everyday experience to hone his craft. Much like Branthwaite.
similar formation id say
in 13/14 martinez lined the side up in 4231
——-McCarthy—-Barry
Mirallas——Barkley——-Deulofeu
—————Lukaku—————
could swap out Deulofeu for Pienaar , Osman or even McGeady depending on what Martinez was going for...
at the end of the day with Beto, it's not really about how effective he is with bringing others into play, or his first touch, or his ability to stay onside.
what really matters is that when he bangs one in it is really fun to chant Ole Ole Ole...

it's also hard to look 'busy' when you're effectively playing a training exercise masquerading a a football match. england dominated possession and...
he looked really good under Lampard, and the side itself was a lot stornger than the previous year up until some point in November
then Patterson got injured, and the team itself struggled, and Dyche absolutely did not fancy him
think the lad...
to some extent yes but Barry, McCarthy, Barkley was a stronger midfield than we have now, with the likes of Osman and Gibson as very able deputies
I don't think you cant count the lieks of Ndiaye and Dibling as midfielders in this day and age
no of course, i was kind of being tongue in cheek anyway
just got a bit of a soft spot for Alcaraz. NDiaye aside he was vastly superior to any of our attacking options last year but barely got any starts because of the transfer clause it seems...
