2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[ToffeeTim]

We played far worse when he came on.

Mad how we just stop creating chances whenever he's on the pitch

 

[MerseysideBlue]

Well guess we can put to bed the "he gets no service" excuse now. As some have pointed out a few times, our team looks more dangerous when Beto plays.

He’s never in the box. Needs to be more disciplined I think.

There was no reason at all to be taking Beto off at that moment in time.

I think he plans his subs in advance. I think Benitez used to do the same.

After he came on there was one passage where he got the ball, played it left, can’t remember who but our guy then took the ball towards the touch line clearly getting ready to play for a cross, and Dom was just still standing at the top of the 18. There was zero desire to try and get on the end of anything. Almost seemed like he thought his job was done after playing a simple pass.

Unless Beto was asking for a sub as he hasn’t had a go in 4 months. But he was playing a good half and had just scored. Makes no sense to change it unless he asked for it.

Yep, he was still mixing it up, getting involved, occupying the centre halves.

I'd be shocked if it wasn't a pre determined game plan.

Tactical flexibility is not part of the Dyche style of management.

 

[dannyboy]

Beto is definitely the better option despite being really poor.

Ye never missed ab pen though did he.? Beto should have stayed on with DCL replacing the useless Doucs ..or any of our wingers taking Beto off was a big mistake wrong substitution as per usual

 

[carolinablue232]

Nope. Never won one either.

 

[Joey66]

Nope. Never won one either.

Nether did Beto that pen was harsh - why was he taking it ?

It was harsh so it doesn’t count? He shouldn’t have been taking it Joe. No one disagrees with that.
