2017/18 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[DualityNSNO]

Think he’s a wing forward myself and will be.

Nowhere near fast enough.

 

[Neiler]

Nowhere near fast enough.

I think the lad has a turn of pace mate, but i know what you mean, i think its broader then that though, for me part of the reason we got a result at City was DCL absolutely dominating Walker, which is why we were able to hold a high line upfront.

Are we the only team who have taken points of them this season?

 

[Azzurri]

Nowhere near fast enough.

Who, Calvert-Lewin?

 

[davids]

Nowhere near fast enough.

His lack of pace forced Hart into the clearance that made Rooney's goal possible.

 

[Nymzee]

Nowhere near fast enough.

What?!

 

[Azzurri]

Calvert-Lewin, at least at the moment while Bolasie's got one leg, is the fastest player in our squad I reckon. At least once he gets going. Those long strides are deceivingly quck.

There's a number of reasons DCL shouldn't play out wide, a lack of pace isn't one lf them.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Nowhere near fast enough.

He's quick enough mate, in fairness to him.

Really looking forward to seeing how he plays against Lovren and Klaven on Sunday, surely have a few chances to score/set up something against those two. Up to him to take those chances and stay in the starting line-up a little longer.

I think he’d do alright contesting balls in the air against Liverpool. Lovren actually struggles more under a high ball than on the deck.

Would still prefer Niasse tbh though.

...Niasse is a decent impact substitute.

 

[sageyefc]

...Niasse is a world class starting striker

I think DCL deserves to start this one, a lot to be said for keeping a winning team together. As @Eggs said, Niasse from the bench is always a good option.

 

[NCLBlue]

I like the lad but have been admittedly unconvinced about him being a top class forward. I even wanted Niasse to start in my predicted line up on Saturday.

He proved my wrong then and I'm happy for him to continue to do so...

 

[DualityNSNO]

Yeah, fast.

Not fast enough, still. Nor agile enough to turn people over often.

 

[Nymzee]

If he's nowhere near fast enough for fast are you wanting all wing forwards to be? Usain Bolt level?
