Did he?

Richy won one on the edge of the box and that's genuinely all I can remember.

He was along with most other players terrible tonight.

Plus there was no one anywhere near him to pick up second balls or flick ons in that system, Richie too far away and the false 9 or top of the diamond (or whatever it was) was too deep.
How many flick ons did he make?
 
Plays well = he's better than Harry kane
Doesn't play well = it's everyone else's fault

Does he get amazing service? No. but he's to static to get any service, can't just rely on digne or whoever on the right picking out a perfect cross.

As an example, yesterday we was shocking yet Richy was played in 3/4 times because he has the movement to find space ( wasted all the chances like )

Keep saying it and I'll keep getting shot down but I'm not arsed,.he needs to improve massively for me to be considered a "top" striker
 
I do think James central - even with the wingers - limits him to an extent though.

He tends to get marked out of the game easily.

Drifting from a wide role, or a free role up top, into pockets of space is when he seems more effective.
Agreed, though his lack of pace is also an issue an until we get a good RB
 
I think he's a streak player a bit like Lukaku was, I could quite easily see him go another 2 or 3 without a goal then get 6 in 5. It's all about making sure the goals count ie winners in close games rather than 3rd or 4th goals. At the minute when he scores it's usually a difference maker.
 

Calvert-Lewin is a decent enough striker and will doubtless improve. What I don't like about him is that when he's not in the game he doesn't do enough to even ruffle the feathers of the opposing CBs. Diego Costa he most definitely is not. The Chelsea centre backs had a night off.
 

My reaction to most of DCL's one-on-one finishing is eerily similar.
He certainly needs to get better in that area (and quite honestly it seemed like he made those improvements early in the season but he has regressed in that area as of late). But wow last week, those types of goals don’t happen without Dom.

Dude is a menace, but there will be days like Chelsea where everyone can match him in the air and he will need to have something else in his locker. It was frustrating to say the least, but we know what he is good at and what he needs to work on.

City of United will be in for DCL next summer as we have Josh King on standby.,..... I :p
The poster & likes will be up in arms scoring all those goals with a mediocre midfield just imagine him with those other two.clubs being table todouble his wages etc offering European football.,....
