He started quite poorly, but came good in the end. Love his passion at full-time! If Dundee Utd sign Forrest, they best buckle up for the Alan Forrest Show. It can be frustrating at times Soto made a lot of mistakes but he was nowhere near the performance level of Chukwumenka when he was taken off after about five minutes. The young man was doing a lot of running and, even if it didn't end up with anything positive, he was tying up two defenders at the same time. Also I feel his presence meant that Edwards had to make that interception leading to the own goal. Personally I feel he's a bit too lightweight for our game but then again the likes of Holt and Omeonga are not exactly behemoths. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i've noticed about Soto is, he's deceptively good in the air for a lad his size. Hard for the lad to be getting game time when our forward line are playing like they are so it's tough to judge him as he'll still be getting used to the style of play here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thruthenight Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Soto has a massive amount of potential, and I reckon if we're somehow able to get him back in next season then he'll be great for us, but his instincts don't seem to be to do exactly what we need him to do. A lot of his centre forward play is flicks, rather than hold up play, which doesn't work nearly as well in our wider shape where no-one is guaranteed to be near him when the ball is launched long. He's clearly talented though, and would fit in well given the time, but with only 9 games left in the season then I'm not sure he'll get it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes he would jump despite being far away from the ball. Maybe mind fucking the opponent is part of the deception If he can sort out the heavy touch and look a little less frantic, he may have something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabianKnight Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I did note a challenge near the end where I felt a card would have been appropriate for the Livi player, he went through the back of a united player and the ref waved play on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crap rule that imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy when you had Watt running over to the Livi fans giving it the big jump and landing with arms stretched out taking a bow, celebrating his goal with Motherwell, and he didn't get booked, but our own player does when going over to our fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither our official report nor the BBC have any cards recorded other than the one given to Niskanen. Suppose we'll have to wait for the referee's report. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That snivelling toad of a ref couldn't wait to haul the card out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
