00:00Dominic Calvert-Lewin's latest injury, you've got Armando Brozier out as well. Beto sort
00:11of coming in, he got the brace against Leicester City at home. I mean, that was a great day
00:16for him. He's really trying to continue to prove himself. Do you feel David Moyes is
00:20the right manager to take Beto forward? He's come out and said he doesn't want all the
00:25credit for the goals, but there's certainly been a resurgence under David Moyes in terms
00:29of how many goals they're scoring and getting the fans, as you say, a bit more off their
00:33seats at Goodison. Yeah, in terms of Beto, I think it's playing to his strengths, to
00:37be honest with you. He's had some criticism, Beto, but I've always thought he's all right,
00:46especially off the bench, causing a bit of havoc. And he hasn't had that many chances
00:50to start under Sean Dyche. And if you're going to start, and when he did start, he didn't
00:55play to his strengths. And his strengths are getting the ball in behind on the deck,
01:01in between the channels of the centre-half and the full-back, putting it into corridors
01:05where defenders don't like going, where it's not in their lane, and him causing a bit of
01:11havoc. And that's what happened for both of the goals. And he could well have had a penalty
01:14as well against Leicester. So that's definitely one positive to say. It looks like David Moyes
01:21is trying to play to these players' strengths. If it was Dominic Calvert-Lewin, it was trying
01:27to get him chances, you know, one, two-touch chances. Ironically, that wasn't the way he
01:31scored against Tottenham, but a couple of other chances that he created for him in previous
01:37games for his injury, that was the way that they were trying to go about it. So I think
01:40it's definitely been a bit more flexible. David Moyes, you know, his asylum and that,
01:45he's given him a bit more freedom to say, go and carry the ball and make things happen.
01:51You can be a talisman, everything can come from you, even though he's playing off the
01:56left. And yes, for Lindsay, his pace crosses into the box and he put two great balls into
02:02the box against Tottenham. And, you know, they've given him a little bit of defensive
02:07stability in behind with Jake O'Brien. They say the two centre-backs are playing it around
02:12a little bit more, and that just gives everyone a little bit of confidence. So it's something
02:18that David Moyes knew he would have had to remedy. Look, strike situation isn't great,
02:23he couldn't get one over the line at the end of the transfer window because there weren't
02:26too many out there. And hopefully Beto stays fit now and Brogier comes back maybe a bit
02:32earlier than was initially expected, as you said to Mitty as well, to add bodies. And
02:37then you're waiting on Donna Calvert-Lewin to come back. So look, there will be a big
02:40burden on Beto. But Evan have just got to continue to play to his strengths and make
02:47him a real handful, because that's what he come in as, you know, someone who's raw,
02:52maybe needs a little bit of coaching. But, you know, some of his attributes that could
02:55cause issues were there.
