2021/22 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Nymzee]

So again… Show me where I said he’ll never be clinical ?

I just asked, do you think he'll ever be clinical? Yes / no

 

[witchdoc187]

Not sure there's any striker on earth who slots all their chances. He's quality. My number 9 ?

 

[Eggs]

Could be on 4 or 5 goals from these two games quite easily.

Like you say not at the 'clinical' level...yet.

….I doubt he ever will be Zat, I think we have to accept that. He will improve, but let’s not forget he gets on the end of chances others can’t because of his physicality.

The first one was a little unlucky, they often find a way through the keepers legs but all his effort is used reaching the ball, he doesn’t have a picture in his mind that finishers have.

 

[Kurt.]

Agree with Kurt on this, this is not slagging him off, it's constructive criticism, one of Doms main weaknesses are when he's through one in one, hopefully more training at that facet of his game and more experience / composure will sort this out. Most of us sensible one love and respect what Dom brings to this team, his speed, tenacity, hold up play and aerial and heading ability, which is second to none.

I pity you the onslaught you’re about to receive for not praising Pele incarnate mate

To be totally honest … I think he has it within him to improve his finishing… as for being clinical … I honestly don’t know, being clinical is instinctive… you’ve either got it or you haven’t. That’s not to say the lad doesn’t have his strengths and brings a lot to the side.

 

[Gilbert..]

Nice to see him on the pens.
Be a greedy striker.
Should have buried the 1 on 1 but hey ho.

So that's a no then, he isn't going to be clinical in your eyes if it's something you either have or don't have. Thank you for playing the game.

That’s fine, I’ll accept that… I don’t think he will become a clinical striker…. I’d be very happy to be proved wrong though.

For what it's worth I agree he won't ever become a clinical striker.

People ripping into his finish, the keeper saves it! He’s a great player getting better and better. Don’t be [Poor language removed]

 

[Evri]

He is just lets say clumsy with his feet , he missed so far way too many great chances , sometimes that cost us also points or two but on the other side he is great and probable the best in league with his head , it’s up to him if he wants to improve , only practice nothing less, but today instead 1-4 , ended 2-2

 

[Stephenlloyd]

I get upset when he misses chances he should be scoring which would make the difference between 1 point and 3 points, my apologies if that’s disagreeable with you.

I said the same on Twitter IMO he cost us the game. And his fab club have gone into meltdown

 

[grandjoeblue]

Hes brilliant. Probably going to score 20 this season and hes not good enough for a team who'll finish between 7th and 10th.

This is very similar to the Lukaku being lazy shouts.

[gonetomorrow]

The word clinical is overused in my opinion.
If you've a striker who converts more than half of the chances he gets then that's pretty good. DCL certainly didn't do that today.
