2020/21 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Fansince1988]

Still baffled by him not being on to take a pen,3rd in line out of a 26 man squad and overlooked.....

Well giving Rashford and Sancho pens after being on only a few minutes was a bad call from Southgate. Should have put them on a half time in extra time, they may even have made a goal, they needed much longer to get into the game before taking a pen.

 

[Fansince1988]

Exactly. If Kane is supposed to be 'one of the best strikers in the world' why is he always so far behind the play? At one point yesterday Mount became our furthest forward player. I suspect that Kanes bolt may be pretty close to being shot.

Mounts seems to be becoming another untouchable, Sancho or grealish would have been a better choice yesterday. Southgate obviously has his favourites.

Kane isn't a big game player , how many finals has he not shown up in now. However I can understand why he isn't dropped, I can't understand him not being subbed when not playing great.

Regardless, this will be a great experience for Dom, nobody expected him to even be in the squad not so long ago so well done.

Well the end of the season it looked like Dom was doing his best not to get picked. He was poor in the final weeks of the season, if we are going to get the the next level he needs to up his game, big season for him coming up.

Think he dodged a bullet not being exposed to the risk of the England penalty miss curse.

The whole team were crap not individuals. If the then gaffer has told him to be a poacher but then we don't feed him, of course it will dry up. I have no problem with 6 yard box poachers(Lineker anyone) but they need service. Maybe he was fatigued as well, he had no alternative.

Isn't anyone watching what's going on. Ancellotti always said that DCL was one of the best strikers
around, Ancellotti now has an open cheque book...........Just see if he comes for DCl (Not a chance).
Southgate has had DCL for about 6 weeks and has seen him at his best and worst, he will not go on another England tour.

That’s a bold statement, literally.

Dom only gets a game if Kane is out or rested, won't matter what he does domestically as Southgate has his favourite players. He seems to set up well for the start of games but doesn't know how to change things up if needed. His subs were always Henderson, grealish, and if needed a forward Rashford . Just hope DCL doesn't think he needs to move to get in the first eleven as won't make any difference

Don’t forget to pick the cones and bibs up dom

 

[Pabbers]

Time for him to get back now, and work on himself once agin....prove that he needs a few starts for his country.

Thought he was outstanding in the first half personally. But then faded like most of the rest of the team.

DCL isn’t technically good enough at this moment in time for me. He’s very good in the air and works hard, but you need a bit more than that from your main striker.

Dom wasn't changing the course of that final. It was lost in midfield.

Whilst I do agree, Dom is a better defensive asset than Kane. Dom wins so many corner and free kicks in our box and is better at holding the ball up and winning headers than Kane imo.
He might have been a better option for the second half but obviously Kane is a far better player and it was never going to happen

Could be the case
