2019/20 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[riddick]

I don’t think he’s a shirker, and I think he’s alright as a player, I just think he’s one of those players that won’t improve where he needs to like his positioning, movement etc.

Maybe it’s more of an instinct side of things with him I’m thinking of.

That part I can see where you are coming from. He definitely works hard as hell to improve but I just don't know how you can improve what I think he lacks.

 

[ProZ]

I have said it once and i'll say it again, he always mishits shots and falls over, its very rarely a clean strike.

It doesn't matter what age he is, if a striker can't time a strike properly what is the point?

He has scored goals this season and I am first in line to wonder how on gods earth such a limited player has those goals.

Sell while value is high or we will regret it.

Yeah fair point. I think it’s natural some players know exactly where to be, make the right decisions, and the ball seems to drop to them at the right time.

You probably can’t coach that side of things as much as you can try.

Forgot to show up post restart.

Forgot to show up post restart.

His effort has been lacking and his luck started to run out (goals)

I remember when some people on here were comparing him to Drogba. Deary me.....

Drogba , sharp , Kane , shearer ... was ridiculous really

 

[Tel001]

Lukaku has a half decent midfield behind him our front two have nothing mate......keep on knocking our 23 year old leading goal scorer who cost very little compared to Lakaku

Did lukaku have a decent midfield when slotting 17 for west Brom when he was 18?

 

[Tel001]

Said that about Sigurdsson aswel.

Now ... that is a mic drop

 

[Tel001]

"Doesn't do enough, doesn't lead the line well enough"
"Yeah he's leading the line now, but he doesn't score enough"
"Ok, he's leading the line and he's our leading scorer, but he doesn't score every week"

I guess people who constantly move the goalposts will never be happy.

I have continually said his finishing is crap and that most of his goals are lucky. When the mistakes, defections and luck runs out , which always dies , he will be back to being crap again

 

[Kurt.]

He’s crap

 

[Houghty19]

Its time for him to have some time on the bench and Kean to get a run in these last games. We need to see if he can improve the team and his performances and DCL could do with a rest.

 

[Pabbers]

His goals are not lucky, they come from hard work, pressing and not letting them settle.

We are hardly even putting the ball in the final 3rd now.

He looks warn ou to me, Richarlison too. Chasing hopeless balls every single game...and no rotation with any other forwards.

Yeah he must be warn out like those wolves players who’ve played in Europe too and smashed us 3-0

I think as much as physically mentally it must be a nightmare playing in front of them , starved of real service . Making runs to see the ball fly out or more likely end up chasing back to your own box because they lost position .

in no way is it a free pass but that midfield would break anyone’s heart

Nobody compared him to any of these players.

People just don't know what comparisons are these days.
