They are, and Beck is among the more limited. Ironking is being quite cutting in his criticisms of Beck, but he raises points I agree with (no shots, in the wrong place). He didn’t really offer much, he was often not in the right place and had to sluggishly react. Not because of lack of effort. We do have to expect players to be poorer than what we have been used to, but I still feel that Beck isn’t a great option.
It may be that Beck is still getting used to the team, and yesterday was the first time we had worked on trying to utilise Beck with the team, rather than aimlessly lump it up to him, so maybe he will look better when there is more of a gelling.
