2021/22 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[BlueStevie35]

I dont give a flying one. I just want goals, and that clothe's horse doesn't get them.

Scored 58 in 6 seasons, average of 11.5 a season

No he's not. He's bang average and needs almost all the team to be knocking in crosses from everywhere on the pitch for him to grab a few goals.

We need a much more flexible and potent striker than him.

…we should always have aspiration to get better than what we have.

Any pics?, will have to see if I can find some out of me when I'm home from work in 70's gear

Luckily we never really took pictures in the 70s , these days people seem to need to have a picture of everything they do otherwise they haven't had a good time.

Exactly, plus it was always having to get the film developed and half the time I couldn't be bothered

Do we though, if we have a striker that scores from service then why not improve the service. It is all about opinions but I like Calvert-Lewin, there are many ways to play the game and a valid one is to have a striker who works in the box and can come short and link up play.

Calvert-Lewin, for me, proved that he can finish these chances, he obviously has flaws and weaknesses, give me a players name and there will be limitations/negatives to their play.

I have no issues with Lampard utilising width and using any new players along with the ones that are already here to get crosses in the box.

We have 1 of the best Strikers in Europe at our club and people are still picking holes in and saying he isnt good enough.

Yeah but lad, he doesn't pick the ball up in his own half, skin 6 players and score from 30 yards out. He can't create a chance for himself.......

This is why this place makes me laugh, if we had Messi and he had 2 games where he didn't score he would suddenly be crap.

It is like on the 90's football podcast I listen to, people write in (probably on the wind up but maybe not), saying Bergkamp, McClair, Baggio, etc. are overrated because they did not have a consistent 20-25 goal a season record.

People get too wound up in stats (like this xG crap) and/or 'great' goals and they lose sight of the bigger picture, tactics, team play and ways of winning a game of football other than individual brilliance.

Dom is great for me, I dont understand why people have to pull him apart.

If you went to a factory and made my perfect number 9, it would be Dom.

"like this xG crap"

Indeed, once someone starts xGing me in a condescending manner I go deaf, then point out they missed a goal while explaining stats to me.

If he scored an average of 11.5 per season for 6 seaasons it'd be 69 goals!!!

Mainly Dave, and he's doing it for the attention.
