2021/22 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Might as well play Rondon or even Dobbin because if they are ineffective then no change at all.
How long do we wait for DCL to supposedly regain his fitness at the detriment of the team

Till we have a better option.

I think it’s very likely he is still carrying an injury and is only playing cos if he doesn’t we either start with a cave troll up front or have to play Richarlison which means we lose him from areas of the pitch where he makes greater impact.
Top thread though.

Playing with an injury is very doubtful

I admit they are not great but come on DCL has been garbage. Use him for last 20 mins of games if things are not going well. The lad is currently a liability

He's not going to play his way out of his rut sitting on the bench.

It only takes a goal for his form to return.

I would round up all the "Play Rondon" melons and send them to Ukraine.

Play Rondon

I'm concerned we are actually discussing football matters sensibly. This is most unusual.

Someone needs to say something about dresses or handbags.

Let him score it in the last 20 mins after coming from the bench. He is not working for us for the last 11 games and looks half the player he was with not even a glimpse of any form coming back

Goals are more important than effort.

He needs a goal

He needs a goal

and we need goals from him....no sign of that the way he is playing

And then we return to the start, give me a better option and he can kiss pine till he retires.

Dobbins, Rondon, Richie, Me would at the minimum be on par with him currently so not much to lose

Behave.

 

[banno]

Behave.

OK stick with a garbage DCL and when he doesn't score then just convince yourself that he is still regaining fitness while we continue to struggle. The lad is a waste at the moment

Ah well, I said yesterday, its hard to defend the lad at the moment.

But maybe we could try and back him, most of the anger is due to people making up stories about him wanting a move.

And yes, his performances have been, questionable.

But im willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, cos we REALLY need him to get back into form.

If he doesnt and keeps stinking and then leaves to go to Arsenal in May, so be it, but I refuse to believe Rondon is a better option
