2018/19 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Those goals will hopefully do his confidence the world of good

 

[toffeejack]

If he starts becoming prolific he'll be a great asset for us, think the rest of his game is really good for a young striker, still only good enough for third choice for me.

 

[Raino85]

That is the worst suggestion I have ever read on here and believe me after many many years that takes some doing.

You must be related to DCL.

Erm, i think you are slightly over reacting here mate

 

[toffeejack]

DCL will be starting on Saturday.

I thought so anyway, but especially with Bernard probably out, he'll play on that left side.

Bloody typical that we say we'll be fine without richarlison because of Bernard, even lookman going out there, but no, bloody injuries.

 

[Abraders]

Well played. Keep the goals coming

 

[DanEFC92]

Boy did well

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I think it will be a mediocre year for him after putting on all that muscle. Glad he did well tonight and hopefully it’s a sign of things to come.

 

[yakublue]

He has to be taking these chances this year, happy he's done well tonight

 

[BlueToff]

Any idea what position he played tonight?

Weren’t a fan of him so much on the wing last season.

up front in a 4-4-2 I think, but drifting to the left by the looks of his goals

 

[Lanolin]

Looked a really good finish for the second goal, the type I’ve not seen from him too much. Needs to use this as a springboard now and keep scoring.

 

[Zezti]

Comfortably ahead of Niasse in the pecking order. Still behind Cenk.

 

[Nymzee]

Better than prime Romario

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Usually his biggest critic but good finish for his second goal.

 

[tim cahill]

Great to see him on the scoresheet. When he has more goals in his game he’ll be a great all round centre forward!

 

[CharlieNash]

Well, he finally met opponent on his level so he scores. Still not even close to the Premier League standards.

DCL in the PL compared to our previous "promising young forwards":
vaughan 47m 1089min 7g 2a 17-23y
anichebe 48m 1718min 5g 3a 18-21y
DCL 45m 2239min 5g 7a 20-21y

Just because he scores two goals once in a year on the third round of the CC against teams being on the border of League One and Championship doesn't prove anything. Credit to him for yesterday display but still, loan him to the Championship and see if he can keep such goalscoring form.
