2017/18 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[MACCA75]

He's led the line for half a season, played as a winger and a full back in his first full season. Improved every game. Finished as our top assiter.

Yet we make excuses for our £45mill man as hes played "out of position" or others that have done zero but need to be given "another chance"

We're a weird lot some times.

Played wing back for 45 mins of the entire season.

He’s a distant third behind Niasse and Tosun, and would benefit from a loan.

Doubt he would have finished out top assister if he actually finished the sitters he's missed

 

[Kev The Rat]

Just one more stick to beat Koeman with

 

[Barnfred 55]

If he wasn't getting chances to miss I'd be worried. Finishing can come, knowing where to be is harder to learn.

I agree. But thats also a side of his game he needs to get better at, and he can. But he needs to learn from watching others, and he needs individual coaching too and I'm not convinced he's getting the latter.

Hopefully the new manager will bring better coaches with him. From everything I’ve read Silva is an excellent coach.

Thankfully Tosun is a great finisher. DCL should be watching and learning from him.

 

[Barnfred 55]

He does get into some great positions. I remember the last England U21 game, maybe Ukraine, where he came on as a sub and got into a ton of great positions in just a few minutes.

Late in the game and they were goiing for it to be fair. But there's going to be games like that in the premier too. We just need the playrr in midfield who can pick him out.

Haha.

You have an answer for everything.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

I will say it again, We don't deserve nice things.

Some of the comments on here.

Everyone was garbage last year and we barely put together more than three attacks a game so how can we expect DCL to score/assist?

It was but he gets into these positions every game. More so than the golden boy Solanke.

He’s a distant third behind Niasse and Tosun, and would benefit from a loan.

And still got an assist.

While Siggurdson flopped about trying to trap a ball "out of position".

Point is, DCL doesn't get a pass for being young, trying his best, actually having an output, played and got on where he was told.

Yet we defend players in the latter stages of their career, who won't improve, for a variety of reasons for being bang average and not doing as much as the kid.

He'd be top goalscorer.

And still be gash to some.

 

[banno]

Wouldn't say he is gash and wouldn't give up on him but seriously needs a loan to gain experience. Don't think it would be a PL team either because he isn't yet good enough and we certainly don't need him as a bit part player here. There is something about him that wants to keep him but also something about him that's missing.

Shows how crap he is if he's behind that fraud. Loan him or sell him, I don't give a toss either way, but get rid.

True tho isn't it? If he finished his sitters players would have been awarded more assists ... he then wouldn't be joint top assister

If he finished his chances he wouldn't be hash tho would he? That's the point
