DCL admissions here please

I've always rated him because he's got tools that can't be taught. Namely pace, athleticism, and a high work rate. I also felt he was a willing student and was open to learning. For me it was about the coaches getting the best out of him on the areas that can be taught. The boy is learning.

Mr Southgate will probably give him 5 mins off the bench at RWB once boy wonder Trent A-A has had his fun

That would be ok for me. Surely won't get injured in a 5 minute spell.

2019/20 - Dominic Calvert-Lewin

If he scores tonight it will be a special night of mixed emotions on here.

This is the exact moment he missed that chance away at Villa last season, the one were he had the whole goal to aim at but decided to hit the defender.

80% of the forum should get vaulted here, including myself.

someone has just wished ebola on him in there wtf.

 

[Zezti]

Well in Dom for learning to stay in the box.

That is all.


christ I sound like @davek

 

[Lelouch]

There was a few times like that villa game when I was absolutely fed up of him and wanted him dropped as his finishing was so crap at times. But also always wanted him to have time to develop.

I think our lawyer will rightly defend us with this piece of evidence I mean COME ON, I was absolutely fuming when I saw this.

Sell. He will never make it.

He was really hated. Pitch forks were out every week.

 

[Firhillfill]

Yep I slated him, happy to be being proved wrong though. Amazing what a decent manager and some creative players can do.

 

[Verbal Kint]

That would be ok for me. Surely won't get injured in a 5 minute spell.

And my conscience is clear on this always felt he had the potential, all the tools to be a top forward, pace, power and good in the air.

 

[Axlswhk]

Me, I always believed good strikers are born with scoring instinct. Not something that can be train. I am hopelessly wrong.

Mad how even his biggest supporters used to say “Look, he’ll never be a 15-20 goal a season striker, but...”

Even madder how they’re right because he’s actually gonna be a 30+ goal a season striker if he keeps this up and James plays all season!

Mad how even his biggest supporters used to say “Look, he’ll never be a 15-20 goal a season striker, but...”

Well being honest Graeme Sharp is hero worshipped here and he had a strike rate of 1 goal in 3 games and Dunc is too and had a 1 in 4 strike rate. DCL can match that or even better it given he is a different type of striker.

I do not repent I already had him down as a top slotter, I just got the year wrong:

2019/20 - Dominic Calvert-Lewin

See @Bryan what a bit of confidence I’ve given him does

He is showing all the things that we said he was lacking, touch, movement, instinct, finishing, i was a doubter but he is showing he is an absolute beast, made up for him and for us, come on you super blues.
