David Moyes Applauds Beto’s Work Ethic and Predicts Return to Goal-Scoring Form

David Moyes has publicly commended Beto’s work ethic ahead of Everton’s match against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. The praise comes during a challenging time for the Guinea-Bissau international, who has struggled to find his goal-scoring touch this season.

Struggles and Commitment

Currently, Beto has netted only one goal in the Premier League. His difficulties on the pitch have been evident, particularly during the recent international break, where he notably missed a crucial opportunity in a World Cup qualifier against Ethiopia, resulting in a 1-0 defeat.

Manager’s Insights

Speaking in a pre-match press conference, Moyes emphasized Beto’s hard work and dedication. He stated, “The boy is mad to do the work. He’s a brilliant lad, and his dedication is second to none.” Moyes is hopeful that Beto will regain his former goal-scoring prowess.

Adapting to a New Role

Since Moyes’s return to Everton, the tactical setup has evolved. Beto, who was the primary forward in the latter part of the previous season, now shares playing time with newcomer Thierno Barry. Moyes noted that the current style of play might be affecting Beto’s opportunities.

Situation with Dwight McNeil

Moyes also addressed Dwight McNeil’s decreased playing time this season. The 25-year-old winger, who transferred from Burnley for £20 million in 2022, has only featured for 19 minutes of Premier League action this season. He recently played for Everton’s U21 team, but they faced a significant 5-1 defeat against Bradford City.

Moyes remarked, “He has to keep pushing to get into the side. We’re trying to improve in the attacking areas.” Despite the competition, Moyes believes McNeil has the potential to contribute significantly.

Looking Ahead

As Everton prepares for their match against Manchester City, both Beto and McNeil’s situations will be closely monitored. Fans remain hopeful that with hard work and dedication, both players will make notable contributions moving forward.
