And Richy
And Holgate

Yeah they were guilt edged chances but DCL is the main goal scorer, that’s his job yet he doesn’t do it enough.

Richy is also a striker.

no not just DCL

every other player thread is FULL of similar stuff though, they ARE all to blame, they were ALL awful, but I don't see as much ridiculous player defending in other threads as in this

It
Blaming a CF who has been scoring lately is scraping the barrel imo......

Apart from him being a winger.

He looked knackered once the 70 minute mark came. Must've been hard going for him. Richarlison, Bernard, Kean, Walcott, and Sigurdsson - all failed to support him.

But he’s really not a winger is he.

If you ever played the game then you realise you don't always score from the chances created. That's football.

Played til i was over 40 fella.
Then coached and managed for over 10 yrs.

If you dont put your chances away they come back to haunt you.

Oh and you never win.

Thats football.

Oh look, his purple patch is over again and we are at the start of another three month barren spell. Hope he scores this weekend and proves me wrong.

We both know Everton didn't turn out in the second half.

Also, Mina gave Jones far too much space.

Difficult to support a player when his second touch loses possession.

Let’s be honest here. Calvert Lewin is a fast player who is strong and good in the air. If you play him every minute of every game of the season he’ll get you an ok return on goals. He is not a top striker though, his touch is abysmal, he can’t link with other players, his finishing is atrocious when it’s anything other than from a yard out, and he has absolutely zero guile of craft.

The problem is Richarlison is exactly the same. They’re both in the same positions trying to get on the end of things but ultimately neither of them are ever going to consistently set the other one up. Newcastle away is probably the only goal I can think of when they’ve actually played as a partnership together (even then DCL mishit it in).

They’re just ok but I’d trade them in in a flash for players like Rashford Martial Moura Son Pulisic Willian etc. They’re not even the very top layer like Aguero Stering Hazard Salah etc.

If this kid was doing what he was doing for us at Norwich or Palace we wouldn’t want to touch him with a barge pole but because our fans can’t resist an underdog come good story we are prepared to indulge an average striker.

Teams we are supposed to be competing with have strikers like Vardy and Jimenez and we have a striker who probably wouldn’t make their bench starting for us every game.

Well dont put it out if DCL gets any criticism they dont know football.

What a stupid response.

Edit
Ps....got loads of medals pl , dont need any more dust gatherers.
