2021/22 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[BlueToff]

I’m not particularly a big DCL fan - think he has something about him but not the end of the world if he goes. I don’t think there’s been any evidence that he has a poor attitude though?

All I have seen is that he started the season ok after having no pre-season/ has obviously had a bad injury and then massively struggled to get back to anything resembling match fitness so his input in games has been marginal at best.

I think the best we can hope for now is a few sub cameos in last twenty of the remaining games.

The injury was horrendous and he should probably have had surgery. He'd have probably missed 8 months but he's ended up basically doing that anyway.

So he’s available.

If ever we needed Ancelotti-era DCL, that time is now.

Indeed. A couple of scruffy goals would be most welcome.

. It's not always the fans fault.

Mostly.

Frank obviously going to say what he said I still think he dropped him for his attitude..same as Carlo did

 

[KaiserEFC]

We don’t really know what’s going on with him. If he stays support him, if he leaves sod him.

Start rondon. Don’t need this idiot jogging about barely breaking a sweat.

If there’s one thing the last few games have shown me, it’s that if Richarlison is fit, Rondon isn’t starting.

Rondon is currently a clear third choice for the number 9 slot. I suspect that’s because Lampard doesn’t think he’s a 90 minute player.

Half our team can't last 90 mins though due to poor fitness levels so that doesn't really work. I mean Gordon is the one player who will come out of the season with some praise no matter what yet he still has mastered the art of lasting the full length of the game yet.

just watched the training video: DCL nowhere to be seen in the finishing drills. Coincidence or it doesnt bode well again .......

Those 2 misses by richy v leicester were made for DCL type goals
Be nice if we could do that when he's on the pitch

He's too good for finishing drills

If he's available, he should be brought off the bench as a last resort. Last night we need is another 90 minutes of the hopeless crap he's served up this season.

Sadly not sure he is going to be physically capable. Dearly hope I'm wrong
