2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[MACCA75]

I’m not a fan of him at all, and failing to get a shot away when clean through was embarrassing - but his all round game today was excellent, it’s a shame he can’t be like that every week.

Shame Dyche played hoof ball his confidence is shot - a team will be in for him now!

Nice finish...then terrible finishing for the rest of the game...and that moment at 3-1 when he out of a challenge with the GK was embarrassing.

Think most on here would think it's good to see an instant improvement from the Dyche DCL to the Moyes DCL, while appreciating that it needs to be seen in more than one game.

But to condemn him for not clattering into their keeper in a 30:70 challenge at best is agenda desperation at its best.

Get your @Davekprism© and your @ Davekblinkers© here folks.

I'm so glad his sparkle has returned. And there I was, along with others, calling him for all the useless lummoxes in the world.

Played well today even ignoring his fantastic goal

 

[Toffeepot]

He created the goal himself today catcher tbf to him so I don't see how you've come to that conclusion.

Because he was involved in the game and was getting enough chances to go for it. One chance every two games gave him nothing

Fingers crossed

Hopefully today’s the start of a more productive and consistent goal scorer. Such massive relief for him. It was so obvious isolating him would yield little. Simple but effective fix by Moyes.

 

[allen]

Really pleased for him today. Such a quality goal.

He tends to find streaks of goalscoring form - so, like every time he scores after a barren run, I’m hoping this marks the start of a streak.

 

[ElGato]

Proper nuisance no.9 today, held the ball up well, ran the channels, sniffed out positions in the box.

His finishing is still pretty woeful and he looks frightened to death in front of goal

Easy to forget that no striker puts them all away. Look at Watkins at Villa, he misses plenty of guilt edged chances but he keeps going and his tirelessness is a real asset to the team and he eventually gets his goals.

DCLs ratios are worse than most, but more chances we create for him, better he'll get

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

It’s a win-win really. If he continues to improve under Moyes’ system, we rise up the table. If he stays at the end of the season, then we have an improved striker. If not, he’s driving up his fee. So all good.

Nail on the head here. For the first time in a long time, he (or admittedly whoever is up front) didn't appear completely isolated.

what fee? He goes for free if he doesn't sign a deal

 

[Furey1878]

Absolutely shocked he scored the kind of goal he did today. Fair play and hopefully we'll see some more before the end of the season.

 

[Joey66]

Fingers crossed

We will have t9 sign our loan a top goalscorer as Beto will be sold - he wants to leave too...
