2022/23 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[ParkhallToffee]

Nothing against the guy, but it does go to show how selling someone after one decent season for a big profit can be very good business.

It's not lack of ambition to cash in, it can be just smart.

I can agree he’s maybe not as good or effective solely as a striker but in a team there’s more to a game than scoring goals admittedly we need goals so IF Dom was 100% fit and firing I’d have Dom but as it is I’d happily keep maupay in the team over Dom now, no guarantee we will get the Dom of 19/20 20/21 which also had more creativity in the team in them seasons. So to use unequivocally is preposterous we can all use big words have you ever got the countdown conundrum?

You seem offended I used the word unequivocally but then used preposterous yourself?

No nothing offends me just thought the use of the word was a bit strong comparing the 2 players now a kane or salah then yes but Dom maupay not that gulf in class.

Keep seeing the rhetoric that he has only had one decent season. As if he didn't score 15 goals the season before that as well.

With the seasons before that him playing primarily as a sub and out of position.

Let's just ignore the facts though.

Calvert-Lewin and Patterson: we need in January a proper replacement for each. Neither Maupay nor Coleman are adequate for the rest of the season.

IMO Calvert-Lewin wont play again all season. Patterson will be out months...and a lad getting two major injuries after about 15 senior games in football doesn't make me think he'll be a long term option for us.

You literally have no evidence to back those things up. Huge assumptions to make. (And yes I know its your opinion)

You answered yourself there.

The thing with DCL now is: every time he feels a twinge or tightness there seems to be a decision taken to withdraw him again from training.

How far are we going to get with this feller if that's the case?

 

[Drico]

How much do you think it's Dominic Calvert-Lewin or Patterson's fault that they're injured, and how much is on the club?

There's no "fault" on the part of any player who gets injured - unless they are neglecting their fitness in some way (or ignoring consensus scientific advice, such as refusing a vaccination that can reduce the risk of illness). Patterson and DCL appear to be very unlucky - or there is something off in the club's training regimen. Sometimes, however, somebody's body or mind may simply not be cut out for the rigours of modern professional football. That's not to blame somebody - it's a simple statement of fact. Whether that applies in these cases is debatable. It's up to the club to make a judgement call in such cases.

Needs to start wearing lower stilettos.

I`d have thought the club would`ve worked this one out by now.

What a lexical paradox!

 

[AsiaAsia82]

I’m hoping the psychological benefits of playing with better players with more positive system might help with fitness levels for DCL.
I’m sure playing with the previous dirge in midfield and limited chances to score felt quite negative, let’s hope once back, the better coaching and manager and improved team mates create a positive stimulus to stay fit,

I guess I just dont really get the need to be so fatalistic.
