2019/20 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Never said he was clinical but also don’t agree he should be derided for scoring goals like the United one that makes up a tiny portion of all strikers goals each season.

Comparison to others this season... Rashfords 17 goals...6 have been penalties (he's also missed 2).

Jimenez has 17...4 have been penalties.

So for DCL's "lucky" goals, a fair few strikers have been handed free strikes from the penalty spot themselves.
 
I’ve said it before- I can’t blame either of our two strikers with the way our midfield has performed prior to this game. With the reinforcements coming in next season will be Dom’s judgement day.
 
Bit of weird arguing going on here. You don’t have to be polar in these things, he’s done really well to get 15 goals, and he’s had a had a good season in the main. There are also perfectly legitimate concerns about his ability to back it up with another season like it, because he’s only ever had one spell in his career where he scored regularly. Both things are true, it’s fine to say them both.
 

He was great under Ancelotti up to the break. He's struggled since the break and looked off the pace physically.

Hopefully he can come back firing for next season because we need the DCL of December to March back.
 
Been woeful recently. Just look at the difference with him and Richarlison. They are the SAME age but Richi is about 50 times more effective in almost every aspect of his game. Happy for DCL to be an option off the bench. Sell Kean and get a starting striker in to play alongside Richi please.

I actually think Dom would be better suited to Richy's current position (second striker) so if we do sign a centre forward this window (don't think we will unless it's a late loan) I would play him along side Dom and play Richy in one of the wide midfield positions.

He'd not be starting in any team in this division apart from us. Certainly not any team above or around us. That says it all. He's one for the future but definitely needs to improve an awful lot. I think he's been stifled by not being allowed to go out on loan because we've had no other options since Lukaku. He's 23 now so unlikely to be loaned out at this stage. From the bench for me next season.
 
Glad to see people sticking up for him. The guy is constantly putting in a shift, head near the ball. Never have to worry about him giving 25%. After this big jump, you can only expect him to improve year after year. All he needs now is a haircut because the slick back to the wavy fro is just a bit to stylish for me lol

How has he been stifled if he's been playing for us non stop since Lukaku left?
 
Was just pointing out what you said was nonsense again.:coffee:

Mora not nonsense. His goals are fortunate 80% of the time. He’s got a lot of deflections , Kepler errors and massive defensive errors. If you rely on themto score your goals , you are not a decent striker. You have to be clinical and the good ones score goals that are difficult to execute. Greenwood is clinical, Ings is clinical, Rashford , Richy and they’re not even the best in the league. He is a work horseand lacks any composure , power or placement When trying to finish.
