2020/21 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[DanB90]

No way he gives up Carlo’s project to go and play for Peps cone-layer.

 

[MikeH72]

Should have sent him on loan tho and bought Diego Costa.

@BarryThompson1 wants to replace him with Edin Dzeko.

 

[MikeH72]

Think we need to remember too we’re playing Fulham not Bayern Munich.

Fulham are either the worst team in the league or a dangerous threat that drew with Liverpool and have been unlucky depending on which day of the week it is on this forum.

I wouldn't necessarily read anything into his body language. He's a proper team player and he's just watched his mates pull off a big win. He's going to be happy even if he's feeling really sore.

That said, I really hope it's very minor and he only misses 1 or 2 games.

its not so much his body language but the ease with which he walked which gives some clue as to potential seriousness. There was no great discernible hobble and walked off unaided.

Having a scan on his hammy this afternoon according to SSN

Wrap him in cotton wool and save him for the derby.

Rodriguez and King should have enough between them to beat Fulham, with Gylfi and Richarlison coming off the bench if needed.

Yep, which is nothing unusual, people are having a panic thinking this scan means its very bad, its a scan that is always done on this type of thing, hopefully its not to bad, Lewin maybe played it safe now knowing what he thinks a hamstring feels like, after playing with it v west ham not knowing with never suffering one before

Three weeks is a grade 1-2 tear, I think it unlikely he'd be walking so freely with that tbh, maybe hobbling badly would be more normal with a tear.

You can never tell without scans so it's only speculation, we'll have to wait until Carlo's pre Fulham presser for any chance of something more definite. I would guess he's tweaked it which would definitely rule out Fulham, possibly City and Liverpool too if we're sensible, but the pressure to manage rather than rest it properly could means he may play earlier than he really should.

Muscle injuries are hard to predict as you say - Wilson walked off the pitch for Newcastle recently and scans have shown he's had a partial tear and out for 8 weeks whereas looking at it you would have thought just a minor strain/pull.

Hopefully the lads alright we need the troops back.

He’ll probably end up as our all time premier league top goal scorer which would be an amazing achievement given the likes of Ferguson Cahill Lukaku etc.

It's quite an achievement for a Championship standard striker!?

We play City next Wednesday, I wouldn’t play him against them either

 

[Guru888]

Just be back for the derby, they are there for the taking

 

[bullybeef]

Saka would be a great buy for us

Saka poo

No thanks.

Is it just me that thinks DCL is a better striker than Garry Kane?

...don’t know Garry but surely he must be.

I like DCL, but Kane has got a bit more to his all round game. Has also scored 20+ goals for the last 7 season on the trot and that's some going.
