2022/23 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Bebeto]

With a break ahead though and Maupay playing decent last time it’s probably worth risking a game without him, rather than risking him ending his season (again). I’m sure if we had 3 games in the next 7 days he’d be getting some minutes.

Plus as we saw last season, a half fit Dom is awful, and takes terrible penalties.

Better half fit dcl than playing doucs as a striker

 

[Lanolin]

Right call i would say, thought he would be a sub at best

I find the wording slightly concerning. It sounds like we’re expecting to have played 10+ games before he’s considered for a start and that could be a real issue.

Felt his groin apparently

WOULD LOVE TO

You don't go from being in contention for a start on Thursday to not being in the matchday squad on Sunday without being injured

He wasn't in contention to start was he? Just to be in the squad I thought. And maybe they have just thought it's safe to wait until after the international break.

Doucs hasnt been injured for the majority of the last 12months mate.

Dom needs special care.

Our whole season rests on his shoulders.

Dom had a full pre-season?

"We'll see come Sunday whether he's ready to start a game or not"

Im not a Doctor.

I think we should be planning for the season without him tbh, any game we can get him on the pitch “fully fit” should be considered a bonus. Should be treated like Mina, assume he’s not part of the squad, we can’t afford to be waiting around and hanging our hopes on absolute crocks.

You watch how you address our King.

Injured players are not options fam.

 

[stamullenblue]

Hopefully just a precaution and gives him more time to get some fitness !

I agree, come Jan need to go all out for a striker. Possibly think about selling DCL.

 

[Nymzee]

So, could have played for U21's this afternoon.

 

[Bluestar]

Rondon and McNeil are the two attacking bench options. Leaving a transfer window with that is dreadful.

You said we didn’t sign a striker, when clearly we did. One who scored today.

On the US telecast one of the announcers quoted Frank saying they don't want to rush him back because "it's a complicated injury." I don't much like the sound of that.
