I know people blame injuries but I don’t know if it’s managers. I reckon ancelotti changed his game. Told him to just be a fox in the box and his job is just to score goals. The two managers who have followed have just carried on with that.

Be interesting to see how he plays under dyche(if we get him).

Yeh maybe and weirdly, despite obviously lacking goals, we actually need the version of him before he was a prolific poacher.

All these links to nifty strikers completely baffle me. We need a target man.
 
First of all, we should never be in the position where we are expectant of a player who's been out with bad injuries over the past 15months or so, to be able to come in with immediate effect and be the difference maker, he should be allowed to get up to speed and his game time and confidence managed and built up correctly. However we have Maupay are our other "option"...so that unfortunately isn't an option.

Although he's offered little this season, and that is being kind...

The main issue is the supply line. We are horrible, there's absolutely no creativity in this side... Iwobi could hardly get a game under Carlo in a season we finished 10th, is now seen as our only creative option... It's madness to think that DCL can create something on his own, he's not that type of player, DCL was good under Carlo, because he was played to his strengths.

Digne is a huge miss for DCL, likewise Richarlison, James & Sigurdson.. This side has no supply for him.
 

He's really, really not.

Not a natural finisher, has a decent header but lacks the movement to get in between

Not particularly pacey

Doesn't have a powerful strike

Just don't rate him don't believe he's premier league level
It's a really, really, really bad league.

He really is Premier League level.

Honestly, watch some Championship footy. Dom would score 25 a season.
 
Yeh he’s definitely not the same player. Can’t blame him, those are some bad injuries for his game. Shame, he used to be a nightmare for defenders. Always remember a game vs Arsenal years back when he almost got both their centre halves sent off.
That one in lockdown, December 2020 where a few fans were in?

He was absolutely incredible that match.

That was peak Dom, of course. The injuries over the last few years have definitely hit him hard.

We don't play to his strengths at all, mind. Get the ball to the byline and get it into the danger area. That's what we did under Carlo and that's why he scored goals.
