2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin


We have been ordered to keep them at bay - & Harrison has had a good chance wasted .....
I appreciate you're a Lewin fan boy but even you have to acknowledge a centre forwards job is to hold the ball up and bring team mates into the game, especially when you're going to be under the cosh for the majority of the game. If he doesn't hold it up then he's going to be isolated as their just coming straight back at us and naturally we will drop back.

The teammates need to come into the game. Just happened again at the beginning of the half, he’s got the ball and everyone is just watching him.

The midfield needs to do better also but to just blindly not criticise Lewin's poor performances is bias. The midfielders could quite easily argue, how are we supposed to control a game or offer support if you're giving the ball away every time it comes Into you? He's certainly not immune to criticism, or shouldn't be.

McNeil, Harrison and Young were all as bad as DCL today. We can talk about how hard they work and how honest they are, but on the ball when it really counts they give us so little. Absolutely basic stuff today.

Who’s Lewin?
 
Yeah frustrated by him today. Sometimes he did the first but right and held up then was just ridiculously sloppy…not good enough when you have to try and break the game up.

His hold up play is average at best. Today when we needed it most he was terrible. Not even the basic of just finding the right pass. Other teams spring counter attacks when their striker gets on the ball - we just get ready to defend again.
