Swear he got 20. I seem to remember he got 22 on the back of his shirt as that’s how many goals he was aiming for and he ended up 2 short

And I thought it was just me who hold this view.
There's a tremendous upside to DCL's game. Previous managers just played him like a Lukaku mark II where he done well to battle against central defenders on his own. I think we'll see the best of DCL when his direction of play becomes more focus on scoring goals rather than battling with defenders. For example, we don't dink enough balls over the top to exploit his pace. We don't provide enough crosses to exploit his aerial power. There isn't enough intricate play, ie quick one twos, inside the box.

21 in all competitions but I only use PL as you can get an inflated amount by playing weaker opposition.
I know, I’m just trying to push buttons.

They can't because they are nothing more than backward armchair pundits looking to get their kicks by slagging off our young players. They really need to get off their soap box and recognise they haven't got a clue about football or how to develop young players.
The real pundits, Alan Shearer, Gary Lineker, etc, all rave about this kid. Yet we allow these unremarkable forum members to post their negative views and then waste our precious time to counteract them.
We’re at the halfway point of the season and he has 10 in all competitions.
That’s 10 goals in 22 appearances in all competitions and 8 in 18 for the PL.
A good chance he could get close you know.
He’s started to get into much better positions.
I think playing with a second striker has helped him no end and has allowed him to take more chances in his attacking play.
Lads a baller!

Has everything in his locker apart from an ability to strike a ball with venom and accuracy.
That's something that may come and even if it doesn't it didn't impact the likes of lineker or Michael Owen too much. He is a couple of attributes away from being a Firminho.
Unbelievable the amount of stick I've seen this lad get.... instead of giving it to a kid who is busting a gut trying to improve who cost £2m.... save it for the mirallases and schneiderleins who cost far more and earn far more.

Does that mean we can subtract all of lewin a goals in the cups over the years ?
Was always going to come good for this lad eventually, given the right coaching and team set-up.
Fast as eff.
Strong as eff.
Wins everything in the air.
Pressing machine and general hard-working warrior.
Strong link-up and hold-up play.
Clearly excellent at following tactics & coaching.
That's a REALLY impressive skillset for a 22 year old Prem striker even if not banging in loads of goals, which is why some people have been saying he's a great player to have even before he went on this streak.
Movement and being in the right place at the right time, and being able to make that half yard of space in the box for yourself to get decent shots off, are *much* more important than finishing skill, and he has everything to be very very good at those things. IF that ends up turning him into a high-end goalscorer too then there's very very few gettable strikers that would make sense to replace him with. If not then he's still an extremely useful asset to the team.
Everton fans are always banging on about how we'll love any player if they'll run through a brick wall for the team. We have one. Stick behind him when he inevitably goes through a dry patch.

Depends on yourself. I prefer to use league games only as the quality of the opposition is more comparable you get a hat trick against a lower league club or a team of part timers it can skew the stats. My original post was 8 in 18 which was league goals only 10 in 22 is actually a better strike rate so I'm trying to give it the most balance.
