2021/22 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Osamabindiesel]

It was a good assist to be fair. And Dom is easily a better striker than Richy, but that isn’t saying much at all. His goal ratio is almost equal to Richy playing half the games. It’s difficult to tell if he is still recovering from the injury or is just jaded at this point. I don’t trust any of our players apart from Anthony to give their all.

 

[Ivo]

It's amazing the difference it makes to a team when they have an in form striker. Look at spurs now compared to when Kane was coming back from injury (or head turned).

 

[blueblood]

The lack of attacking threat is again symptomatic of the system. 3 at the back with 2 inadequate wing backs means a back 5. The 2 in the middle can’t get hold of the ball so when we do get it the 3 up top are isolated and the ball is just hoofed up to them.
The best we have played in the past 6 months(?!) was the home game against city. That should be the template moving forwards. No space between the lines, threatening on the break, gave up very few chances. We need to play that system in every away game. This defence can’t support a system where we press high up the pitch- see Spurs and today as the most glaring examples of this.

 

[JLW]

He isnt a prolific striker he is an effective striker depending on the style of play and set up of a team

He would be perfect for Burnley (A good looking Chris wood)

 

[BigMick]

Correct not match fit .......

Wasn't his return delayed a couple of times when he broke down in training or 'had a setback' in his rehab? That could be playing on his mind as well, hence his hesitant and tentative performances.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Need to use this time effectively to get him fit. We need him on the pitch for a massive week after the internationals

 

[larbert toffee]

Utter garbage.

He's another one in the skip at the end of the season.

High praise from you Dave.

 

[davek]

This feller is our problem.

The praise he received against Newcastle was unwarranted.

Either side of the injury lay off he's played 12 games and scored 3 with 1 assist.

It's killing us. He simply has to start weighing in.

Arguably we aren't playing to his strengths

Figures almost identical to Richarlison

They've both been dross all season

 

[Moderatelywarmwater]

Last seasons he produced top level numbers. This season? Injuries have made a huge dent in that.
the reality? This season will knock money off the price that arsenal pay for him in the summer.

Richarlison literally had no break in the summer. He’s played without a break since the summer of 2020, and in reality, since may of 2020. Not really a shock that his form is suffering.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Get Richy on a flank and DCL upfront.

Think it’s time for Alli at 10 and Gordon on the other flank.

Gray doesn’t do any work and Iwobi looks better off the bench.

That was his own decision.

 

[Moderatelywarmwater]

That was his own decision.

Totally agree. But it doesn’t stop it being a fact. No wonder he’s been rubbish.
