2019/20 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[bicycleheader]

On second thoughts let’s not go to the Dominic Calvert Lewin thread. It is a silly place

 

[Toffeelover]

He's not that impressive, tbh. He's ok. Better than the dreadful player I'd previously had him pegged as.

Just think, compare him to other forwards we have or disposed of, that counts a lot.

Scored some decent goals has the lad:

Lukaku was our best forward since the 80s. We had him at a time we never had a pot to piss in. Now when we do have money we have DCL. It doesn't make sense.

Averaged nearly 1 in 2 games for us, yet some people don’t want him back? I judge a striker by what he should be judged on - goals. Yes his first touch and workrate wasn’t the best, but he sure made up for it in other areas. Without doubt the best striker we’ve had since the 80s.

...didn't have a "hilarious" goal scoring celebration though. Obviously not in the DCL class.

Are we digging people for their celebrations now?

DCL has improved and definitely earned his season with us next season however he still needs to improve in front of goal.

His young and no way the finished article because if he was we would have won on Sunday, but he is getting himself into goal scoring positions now the finishing needs to improve where at the start of the season he looked out of his depth.

He is improving which is encouraging

Everyone knows being mean and moody is the making of a top striker duh

Loving @davek comments here, GOT's very own James Dean ' a rebel without a cause'

As it happens, it does get on my tits a bit, yes.

Can't believe that mate, you always seem so easy going and placid.

I'd have never have guessed something would annoy you, Dave.

It's just that I think if you score a pat on the head and a handshake should suffice. There's a quiet dignity in that.

My rule of thumb: the more elaborate the goal scoring celebrations, the less talent there is.

Not disagreeing that Lukaku the best goalscorer we've had since the '80s, but if goalscoring is the only thing to judge on then is Dom's 1 in 2 this season so bad?
