2022/23 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Fralahna]

hamstring injury apparently

Source?

 

[Jimishorts]

We're are a completely different team when he doesn't play.

 

[Bebeto]

The chances of us scoring 2 past City without reply was close to zero.

Surely a lot more to it. Dyche is not the type of manager to think about the next game...close to zero is not zero.

My guess is he felt an injury. I don't think dyche would have given up at 2 nil

He gave up going for win at 2-2 v Leicester by making no subs so he absolutely has by taking Dom off at half time

 

[Blueclouds]

Literally nobody was talking like this before kick-off.

Hindsight is wonderful.

But we are not the manager

 

[everton fan number one]

He was off in Dubai when he was seemingly fit, so it's not beyond belief he could be taken off as a precaution. I hope so, or we're stuffed.

 

[allen]

But we are not the manager

Exactly, and we have no idea of his condition pre-match, or now.

Saying “he should never have started,” in the current information vacuum is absurd.

 

[LucBesson]

Surely a lot more to it. Dyche is not the type of manager to think about the next game...close to zero is not zero.

If he has taken him off as a precaution he's playing the percentages which is what we ought to be doing at this stage of the season to be honest. We have three more points from this and the Brighton game than I expected us to have. Best chances of points were always the next two.

 

[Drico]

If he had any concerns at all about DCL's fitness - and he must have had given his DCLness - then taking him off at 0-2 in a lost cause makes sense.

That's what I'm clinging to anyway.

 

[Lob]

Hope he just realised this is a lost cause and he is saving Doms legs for the final 2 games because we are definitely going to need him to have any chance.

 

[Fralahna]

Hope he just realised this is a lost cause and he is saving Doms legs for the final 2 games because we are definitely going to need him to have any chance.

Best case scenario we are saving him

 

[blue to the bone]

He should never started this game

Drugs are bad kids

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Big hope is that he has a specific cool down process following his recovery, hence him not appearing after going off. Sitting on those crap seats in the dugout probably not ideal for him. Massively clutching at straws.

 

[edge]

If he is injured we are done.
