Lets see mate - my opinion is based on watching him week in week out for 4 years now - from the first game to last Saturdays game. He is without doubt the least talented footballer I've seen in a white shirt, and when you go on about his goals proving me wrong, I don't think they do. He's it's all rosy at the moment but what happens when the goals dry up?
And in terms of being a scapegoat , why do I need to say anything other than he did his job on Saturday because he scored. There was no need for a scapegoat because we won !! I'll tell you why I don't like watching him: 1) he has no pace 2) he has no acceleration 3) he is poor in the air when challenged 50:50. Loses out just about every time. 4) his play acting and constant victim act does my head in. I wish he would concentrate on getting the ball rather than looking for the free-kick. Really awful to watch. 5) His control his shocking, the amount of times he just loses possession is criminal. Also how many times does be handball - only reason he does that is poor control. 6) apart from free headers, free shots in the 6 yard box he hasn't got a clue. People will poit to Boro away and Millwall away but that's 2 goals in 4 years that break the mould. Look at when he was put through on Saturday , did he show a goal scorer's instincts, did he nell, he looked like Jackie Charlton in the opposition box. No idea. So it's mainly due to those things why I don't like watching him. Is ther anything I like about him He works hard but that's a given surely. And finally I repeat - we need to be looking beyond Becchio to progress.
