2021/22 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Seems that way from your posting and fingerings

No I just don't rate DCL as highly as others do nor as lowly as others do. Bog average to me and back to the point I still think in such a crucial game he was being me me me

Judge him when he plays.

Plays, scores, people still give him abuse.

He scored, so there’s credit for that. For the first thirty odd minutes, I thought he was good too. After that, he was poor.

That is what a striker is there to do... he should do it more often than he does

He wasn’t though, it was banter with a teammate

I actually got some hope from the first 30 today. He naturally tired due to a lack of game time. He still has his leap

Was the ref his team mate?

He was bantering with both the ref and Richy, it’s allowed. Why are you getting so pissy about it jfc

I’ve got to say I’ve been disappointed with him. I mean he’s lacked service (somewhat), but I think a better striker creates more and is more gifted with their feet.

I really think DCL is good in the air because of his height but lacks any other elements to his game - so it’ll always keep him in the Average category but with bright spells like 2020/21. The sad truth is that he is absolutely not Lukaku and even after all these years we still haven’t got a replacement striker.

He should have been brought off at HT and the shape changed. He had a good first half but with 10 men he’s a luxury we couldn’t afford.

Because I believe he was in it for himself rather than the collective. He gets the goal he is happy regardless of result and position we are in. IMO

Why him and not Richy, Iwobi, Gordon or Gomes?

 

[Nymzee]

Everyone so mad he scored a goal.

agree and rich should of played alone up front. we just didn't have a centre half to replace Dom with

Good case for Gordon or Gomes but Richie & Iwobi...just no
