2020/21 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Joey66]

I don't care how much he costs, that's totally irrelevant.

Richy has been here nearly 3 years and for most of this time has been one of ( if not the ) most consistent player for us.

Calvert Lewin has been been apart from the first month or two of the season and the month or two when Dunc took charge has been awful.

That's the difference

Utter garbage response he missed for chance Rhico plus spat his dummy out to take a freekick - you have a short memory both of our strikers should have scored a brace , but your vindictive post seem to amuse you ..
As a Team not good enough tonight not be striker who you love to criticise

 

[jinkyali]

Nearly 70 percent of his goals this season have come v WBA, Newcastle, Burnley and Brighton.

 

[jinkyali]

Right but for the season he's been fine. Because that's how it works. Aside from the Lewandowski's strikers are streaky

The top clubs have consistently good forwards. He's not good enough for where we aspire to be.

 

[4737carlin]

It's a decent season for him, decent, but it could of been a special one.

 

[ToffeeTim]

He's been very good on the whole. But He was poor against Burnley and he was awful today. We need our big players to step up at the big moments of the season but he hasn't done that.

At some point players need to step up and perform when it matters. That goes for the whole squad. There are too many excuses made for poor performances.

 

[Leylo]

Ye he was poor today he has still shown improvement this season. Him and richarlison have had a good few games this season were they have been playing off scraps ,just hope he kicks on again because getting a 20 plus a year forward would cost a kings ransom that's if available

 

[jinkyali]

DCL has scored 1 more league goal than Richy in the 3 seasons he’s been here (33-32) and 1 more in all competitions (42-41)

Tbf DCL has been up top. Richy punted out wide.

 

[Joey66]

It's a decent season for him, decent, but it could of been a special one.

He has been off the boil as the midfield has, but to make himself scapegoat when Rhico had the better chances ? Imo it's a team game our back three looked iffy Keen had a mare, but we should have been 3- 0 up at halftime it came back to bite us ...end of ....

Again 16/17 was not that long ago

 

[billy bluestar]

The ball hasn't been coming in from out wide, like the start of the season, he was capitalising on this alot.
One thing for sure though, he’s no Harry Kane.

 

[Toff33Blues99]

Once again extremely worrying. His purple patch has long since fanished and we are seeing the Dom of 2 or 3 yrs back again. If we have any ambition, we can't have a first choice striker who misses 3 or 4 one on one's. These are the narrow margins which decide cup games or get us into Europe. For me he should be 2nd choice next season. He won't be, but he should

 

[DL100]

...i have no issue with that if you were posting we should sell him a few months ago when he was at the top of his game.

i actually don’t recall any posters saying we should sell when he was the leagues leading scorer.

100% Iv said it, I didn’t rate him last season and I don’t rate him this season even with his numbers. Besides the tap ins he offers nothing. I’d have sold him at the drop of a hat. But we won’t get the crazy numbers touted on here.

 

[Carloblues]

DCL has scored 1 more league goal than Richy in the 3 seasons he’s been here (33-32) and 1 more in all competitions (42-41)

Richy has spent 70/80% of that playing out wide.

Goals aside, you can't argue Richy brings far more to the team than DCL?

 

[Joey66]

Tbf DCL has been up top. Richy punted out wide.

Rich proved at no9 he is poor far better cutting in .....that ballooned header miss was costly the easiest chance but it's a team game we were packed my in many positions tonight ......

 

[larrygobfiend]

He’s good when he doesn’t have to think too much. He lacks a bit of finesse
