2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin


Chris Sutton on Doms situation.

“Dominic Calvert-Lewin has virtually everything which you want as a number nine. He can run in behind, he can link play, he can hold the ball up, he’s sensational in the air. You think of some of the headers he’s scored previously. There aren’t many better headers of football than Dominic Calvert-Lewin,” he said

“For whatever reason, this season, the longer the season has gone, his confidence seems to have been sapped, and I can only compare to times in my own career, as soon as you start to overthink and hesitate, then you’ve had it,” he added.

“I suspect that’s what’s happening to him. There’s that little bit of doubt, and he needs to somehow get that confidence back.”
 

Looking at Solanke’s goal last night, Dom doesn’t have that in his locker. I definitely think there is a place for him in the team but not as a lone striker.
