2019/20 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[paulbefc]

His all-round play was decent there, but finishing like his is going to cost you.

....great progress this season, if he continues to improve he’ll be a full England international in the next 18 months. Terrific prospect.

I know it's the minimum we should expect but he left it all out on the pitch tonight. He's never going to be clinical or a great goal scorer but he does do a lot of the dirty work creating spaces that better players can exploit.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Not a premier league goal scorer. A utility player who could link up with a proper forward poacher but if I was a GK and I was one on one with him I wouldn’t be concerned at all because he’d just kick the ball right at me.

Thats the problem. Had a purple patch and he was being talked about as the new england sensation. Hasnt scored since.
Need to stop bigging him up to something he isnt even close to.
Hope hes on the training ground for an hour after everybody else is done, working on his finishing. He needs to.
Still just raw potential

....not bigging him up, I rate him.

Not sure if they said he has 15 PL goals, but that’s not bad with a game to go. He wasn’t at his best, he didn’t make the most of situations and he should’ve buried that header, but those CBs will have hated being up against him tonight and his teammates will be chuffed having him in the team.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is just a black Brett Angell.

Need to improve his finishing then he’ll be fine. Still need an experienced striker as competition though.

In the next 18 months? So your saying hell come good after 5+ years in the first team

He's been around the team long enough now to at least show some real consistency

 

[Mikey O]

DCL is a keeper and first choice. Definitely need a third decent striker; would have liked for Kean to have grasped a chance, but not happened.

Rashford has 17 this season. 10 last season, 7 the previous season.

Now...not saying DCL is on par with Rashford (he's not) but if we're talking goal return, it's very good.

But in order to dismiss a striker is to judge him on the upcoming seasons. He's set a bar. He doesn't reach it, he'll get judged.

Doubt he’ll ever better this seasons goal tally though
