Watching Becchio reminds me a little of David Healy. If the ball is
played up to him in the air, then 8 or 9 times out of ten he'll play for
the free kick/clumsily fall over (delete as appropriate) rather than try
and win the challenge. That is *incredibly* frustrating to watch.
Seeing him fluster in the build up towards Poleon's goal reminds me that
Becchio isn't an instinctive finisher. He hasn't got the pace of someone
like Beckford to create chances either. He doesn't seem to have anything
in him which can change a game (*) unlike someone like McCormack, Diouf
- who was brilliant on Satdi - or Somma. When neither Diouf or Macca
have been on the pitch, we've struggled to create that many chances.
As Rich points out, the majority of his goals are reactions to moves
started by others, hence all the tap-ins and headers from 6 yards out.
All goals are important - I don't think anyone is arguing with that -
but he's not going to be the scorer of 20-30 *quality* goals, which is
what we'd all like to see.
Wiggy.
* - unless he gets subbed.
