2018/19 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[marsh]

How far did he run?

 

[ForeverBlue92]

All athlete no fut.

 

[Tubey]

No problem with him as a squad striker, but he highlighted today how signing Zaha instead of an established forward makes little sense.

Dom has his fans just like Lookman did. I am not one of them but I still retain some hope DCL may make a decent squad player this season.

 

[blue4eva77]

Utterly woeful striker.

You can bag him up with the likes of Madar, Strac, Bakayoko and Angell.

 

[evertonarntwe]

But but he runs around

Think we genuinely have one of the worst attacking options in the league me ( number 9 wise that is )

Yes, it's usually high on a list of police profilers "most likely to harm puppies" list of personal traits

Would have offered him to Sheffield United tbh when they were scrambling for any kind of striker in desperation and ending up paying a club record fee for Mousset.

The season is a write off if he's our first choice striker come the opening game.

 

[Billysgingham.]

If Silva and the other fella think Lewin is the man to take us into the season then we are doomed.

 

[orly]

Imagine, if you will, Rico is not fit for the first month of the season.

Our central striker options (if NO SIGNINGS FFS) would be:

Dominic Calorie-Loser
Theo Walcott
Cenk No-Knee
Oumar Niasse
Lewis-Fraser Hornby

Three of those players are among the worst I've ever seen play for us, another played for Arsenal, and the other is Cenk Tosun

 

[Osamabindiesel]

He works against the top teams because he is given space to stretch the field. We need someone that can play in condensed spaces and finish his chances. Dom still isn’t there.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin manages a premier league goal every 363 minutes.... on average

Stuart Barlow who was famously known as ' Barndoor Barlow ' managed a premier league goal every 283 minutes... on average

I am aware that stats are not the be all and end all in a player, but this stat tells you all you need to know. This is our clubs main first choice striker, with 2 weeks of the window left, with ambitions of challenging the top 6.

File Madar under Gemmill and TIler from that era. Mowhere near as bad as history has painted them to be.

 

[The binman chronicles]

Stuart Barlow who was famously known as ' Barndoor Barlow '

Wasn't it 'Jigsaw'?

That volleyed cross from Walcott.

Ok - I'm not a professional footballer. But of all the possible options:

- right foot volley
- touch to bring it down and finish
- diving header
- scissor kick or similar STYLISH finish
- let it come across his body and try and side foot volley with his left foot mid-air

I think it's fair to say he chose the hardest one, certainly the one he was least capable of doing
