2024/25 Beto

[Lanolin]

But DCL is not a goal scorer as such so to continue relying on him is and has proved detrimental to the club

Again, I agree to an extent but not completely. We could only say it had proved detrimental if there was sufficient evidence we would have got better results with Beto which isnt the case. It’s a coin toss, DCL is loads better in theory but Beto looks more likely to nick a goal - how it would balance out in reality is debatable

With Broja looking lively & clearly a better footballer than Beto (better touch, seems to be able to hold the ball up)

Beto is probably now 3rd choice when we play 2 up front, & potentially 4th choice when.Chermiti is fit

 

[Rita_Poon]

Even on the bench today? Or is he being kept on ice for Jan 1st?

 

[GoldenToffee]

Wouldn't mind seeing him and Broja together.

Doing what like?

 

[Zatara]

Looks like he'll be off on a loan with obligation.

 

[Verbal Kint]

He is definitely on his way if we can get a loan or better still a buyer...

Him or DCL.

Doing what like?

robbing banks

 

[HKContractDave]

Will be his chance next week as Broja can't play against Chelsea

 

[Vintage]

Wouldn't mind seeing him and Broja together.

They would make for a lovely couple

 

[edge]

They would make for a lovely couple

They would cause havoc.

 

[yuppie blue]

should be in the side, if only for his fight

 

[jonnyg]

Thought it was risky to bring him on for DCL since he usually can't hold it up, but he did well today. Was dreading VAR looking at that tackle though.

 

[brownmola]

Did a MUCH better job battling for those long balls vs their center backs instead of just falling over. Needs to do that every time, cause havoc.

Absolutely, the lad should be an absolute beast for centre halves to ply against given his height and build, but has previously been such a pushover for them. I thought he played a much more ‘English’ game today and looked much better for it!

 

[Bryan+]

His absolute psychopathic tackle yesterday will either endear him to Fabio Dychello or he will never step foot on the Goodison pitch ever again after that cameo.
