I like DCL, but he's a football dinosaur. By that I mean, his greatest strengths are scoring on crosses. Crosses are considered as low probability scoring chances, think it is about 1 in 64 crossers that results in goals. Secondly, he scores very few goals with his legs, and the most effective crossers are cutbacks, or more generally crossers that come along the ground. Most goals are usually scored with 1 or 2 touch.
If DCL does not stumble the ball into goal, or head it into goal, then he needs to use at least 3 or 4 touches to get control of it. He generally offers very little in the game, except that he can take down the snowballs that Pickford distributes, and be a classic target man. However, this is quite outdated. So to get the most out of DCL, we need to rely on a style of play that is outdated and not very effective. Because he has neither the technique nor the intelligent movements required of a modern striker. He is quite one-dimensional.
