2022/23 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[MACCA75]

You said we didn’t sign a striker, when clearly we did. One who scored today.

I didn’t say that did I. I said we are relying on DCL being fit. (to give us half decent Prem worthy attacking options - McNeil and Rondon having to come on is weak)

 

[PhilM]

We won’t be seeing him for a while.

 

[perth_blue]

Extra week or so to work on fitness, suits me.

 

[ToffeeTim]

We won’t be seeing him for a while.

Maybe not from the start but having another striker on the bench even will help a lot. Bringing on DCL rather than Rondon can only be a positive.

No, I mean I don’t we’ll be seeing him or his groin in the squad for a while.

I haven't heard anything about a setback. Just that they want to let him get more training over the next fortnight.

It's easy to say now after we have the 3 points, but giving him the extra time off has proved the right decision.

We’re not relying on him. It will be good when he gets back, but Maupay is a reasonable PL forward.

DCL will give options and I want him back, but we signed eight players and rebuilt the midfield and defence. It was absolutely essential that we did that.

What you essentially want is a third in line forward. Who wants to come in for that?

 

[ForeverBlue92]

One more injury and we need to push him oot the door.

Becoming a dead weight, albatross, liability

 

[vintage-toffees]

Hopefully he hasn't had yet another set back

If he has we seriously need to replace him ASAP

Need reliability

 

[Nymzee]

Nice to see us jumping on the bandwagon again.

He is ahead of schedule on his return - Frank wisely has given him more time with the international break - after all you only rate him a a championship player

I wanted another attacker - ideally one that can play anywhere across the front 3. The squad is undeniably and dangerously thin in this area.

It is thin, but I don’t want to get a stop gap. We have done great work in moving on players that we can’t use.

 

[Runub]

Saw some post match comments from Lampard that DCL has no further injuries and was left out today as it was felt the international break would be beneficial rather than risk an early return to action

 

[Goat]

Just imagine this team when our King returns.
