2023/24 Beto


Beto needs to be able to retain the ball. It's night and day this, DCL holds the ball up well and allows us to progress up the pitch.

We're being pinned in too often here.
 

Do t necessarily think he’s been poor, but I’m baffled why he’s started him here and not against spurs.
Spurs play a high line and are susceptible to balls over the top / in behind which seems to suit Beto.
Against these we need someone who the ball can stick to and draw free kicks from their defenders which seems more suited to DCL.
Unless Dyche had more or less written this game off so thought it was one to give Beto a start.
