He needs a fair and decent run now. His rival was/is an automatic on the team sheet when fit, even if stinking L4 out. Give this bloke the same blind faith to prove himself.
How does this deal work then?
Indeed.
And confidence starts to drop as the games go without goals and fans get on their back - Maupay spoke of it.
We don't half need a midfielder who can pass a ball forward. There's no nous/creativity in this side.
That said, I'd be playing Calvert-Lewin every single time before Beto. Beto at best looks like a useful battering ram late on.

Totally agree with this, our midfield have been allergic to the football since James, he was the last proper bit of class we had in midfield, totally affecting and dictating how we played.
I’ve been very disappointed in how we play our wingers as well, there’s no real width or urgency, and they seem to ignore any overlapping runs til it’s too late.
Beto will score goals in the right system, we need more of the Newcastle set up for that to happen, but dyche seems hamstrung (no pun intended) when doucure is missing.

He needs a run in this side. Then judge him more. Yes he had a poor game like others on Saturday. He needs better service too.

We didn’t buy a 22 year old. We bought a 25 year old.
I’ll cheer for him but for that price, at his age, he should be better

Maybe get him in the u23s and give him a month of consecutive starts, bringing off him at 60 minutes, to prove that he's too good to be playing at that level. I don't think he's stand out amongst the u23s though sadly.

I think he tries too hard. As mentioned above, he needs playing time to settle in. He’s gripping the club too tightly right now.
If we have to wait 2 years for him to get to Mykolenkos level he's been a failure its not like Mykolenko is class he's just better than he was which isn't hard because he was awful for ages! Its too early to say he's no good but its stupid saying just play him more aswell because when he plays he doesn't look up to it. He needs to improve and he's not just going to get given 10 games of looking like a lost puppy he needs to show he deserves it.

Easy to forget but it can take foreign players a year to settle - not all of course, but some. Hence the bias towards PL players.
No doubt he was bought because of the payment structure and we aren't splashing out on another striker anytime soon.

Just hope McNeils 5 months is not the 6 months we got of DCL under Ancelotti as hes been woeful for the majority of the season but hes not been the only one.
It's a fair point.
But when you consider he started the season injured and has hardly had a breather since it's understandable he has t hit the heights.
When you factor in his partner has been incredibly sick over the past year its amazing he's performed at all. The very fact we've had to rely on him due to insane squad building isn't the players fault.
But McNeil has been poor again recently so since he came he's probably had more bad games than good so who was right? For every one player we can name who people thought was awful and proved us wrong theres about 10 who looked awful and were awful I'm not saying Beto will turn out that way but its not people wanting to be right its just people saying what they see.
