2022/23 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[riddick]

I personally feel he's led the line well when he's actually played

Problem is his fitness, not his ability

He has. And I don't really even like him as a player that much but at least I can hold my hand up and state what I've always stated: He is good to very good at about 90% of what makes a striker a great striker, except for finishing. That last 10% is a REALLY big deal.

It's Dom specifically for me. We've asked Simms on a couple of occasions to essentially try and replicate his role but he's been far, far less effective.

Yeah he won’t go for headers and doesn’t have the ability to move defenders out of position yet. He’s effective when the ball is fed to him in good positions. This relies on decent wing play and the ability to pick a pass.

 

[Bez2k2k]

Is he 100% out for the final game?

I mean he has a week. He could rest up and potentially make it. I think even if he’s out, they won’t release that information. It gives Bournemouth the ability to plan for the week without Dom.

I meant someone more than Simms tbh. A meant an olly watkins or even che adams type.

Unfortunately we had no choice but to play DCL for every minute we could as soon as he regained fitness.
If we had a decent second striker we could manage DCL's game time much better and would get far more minutes out of him in the long run.

I know that he was awful, but given the circumstances, even getting rid of Rondon was quite bizarre.

I’d rather give him minutes than Maupay.

Rondon jumped into a stupid tackle and gave himself the last two games of last season off. Beyond desperate pining for him.

We are beyond desperate.

 

[lancs blue]

Panic over

We have Brett Angell coming in to train michael keane on everything he knows about being a striker

Dcl can rest up

Ahhh the ol' Southpark Douche or Turd sandwich dilemma

 

[Littlesue]

Never Diss the Don lol

 

[Toffee!]

Do we miss calvert lewin or do we just miss a central striker who can be a focal point.

I miss the Calvert Lewin first half of the 20/21 season, other than that, just a central striker

Mate they don't release information full stop. Was clear that we would not know anything until the press conference.

Rightly so on this occasion.

Our woes are certainly not Dom’s fault. We look significantly better with him in the team. The issue lies on if we aren’t going to give him service, we need a different type of striker. We either get some actual wingbacks in and get crosses to attack or we get a striker that can play more in tight spaces. The way the team is constructed does him absolutely no favors as most of our work is done in the middle with pressing and attacking the middle. We don’t have wing play.
