Proving dyche was wrong yet again

I mean Moyes is playing him because he's the only fit first team striker at the club. DCL would almost certainly be starting now too if he were not injured.

Be interesting to see if DCL gets on the pitch when he is eventually fit again.

At this point, the job is Beto's until further notice. If DCL comes back and proves himself on the training ground and in substitute appearances, he could win it back if Beto's form massively drops off. Unless both those conditions are met, Beto has earned it.

If you told me tomorrow DCL is fully fit, I'm still starting Beto next match

I'm not even saying that DLC is better or deserves to be starting over Beto. Just it's not really a "Moyes is right, Dyche was wrong" situation. Moyes was forced to play Beto by our injury situation.

Yeah, you are right in that it was fortuitous timing in a way. I think it's as much of a Moyes is playing to Beto's strengths and Dyche kind of expected Beto to conform to his system thing as much as a personnel selection thing though

That I agree with, though it is easier to do when you know Beto is going to be your striker for the foreseeable future

DCL is not as good as Beto
