2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[JimmyJeffers]

Do think Pickford kicks long far too much and not sure if it's through instructions, or he just has rushes of blood, but most times it is a useless tactic.

It’s 100% instructions. One of the few times we played out from the back led to gana hitting the post and the offside goal.

He wins nearly every header as well but teams aren’t that bothered as there’s no one there taking a chance.

He doesn't

Be amazed myself if he plays for us next season would not surpise me he is gone in January. Very good at looking after himself sure his next club appreciate the effort more than we do.

He doesn't

It's incredible that we can't even implement dinosaur tactics correctly, in that when we lump it forward to DCL, the amount of times there's nobody meaningfully supporting him to win a flick on is close to zero.

 

[Connor]

He’s our best striker still, but the system doesn’t suit him whatsoever.

He’s winning flick ons and holding it up well, but he’s got no one near him most weeks.

Play two up front with Beto as a space creator or get Ndiaye behind him instead of McNeil.

We're struggling implementing Dinosaur tactics because maybe the players have evolved but the Manager has not.

Nice stat but means zero. He got bullied all over the place yet again today. Played like a kitten.

Teams are happy to let us do that. Guess all that matters is we get through the season.

You said he doesn’t win headers. I proved he does so it does mean something. It means you were wrong.

"Wins nearly every header". You're clearly watching something else mate. Hope you enjoyed Beto showing how to score btw

I didn't say that. Of course he wins headers. Sometimes. Sometimes he does it well. Today he got bullied off the park.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

I didn't say that.

I mean, that's literally what you said.

I think Beto should start next game btw but we’ve done this dance before and it doesnt end well.
