2022/23 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Eggs]

….i think it’s quite simple, we can’t continue to gamble on him returning to full fitness.

 

[allen]

It’s not just his goals we need, it’s his ability to win the ball in the air in the middle third.

Virtually every long ball he’s in contention for in that area, he wins. Either a flick-on or a cushioned ball back to one of our midfielders.

It was central to us getting out of our half late on yesterday, and central to us being able to take the game to United in the closing stages last week.

The worst part is that we often play as if he’s there doing that when he’s not on the pitch. Maupay cannot do that.

That is essentially what gave Spurs their territorial dominance for large parts of the match.

….i think it’s quite simple, we can’t continue to gamble on him returning to full fitness.

Then he cant be part of any future plans in the same way Mina cant be.

 

[davek]

The fact that he scored 29 times pre his main injury last season and 3 once fit including the one that kept us up

Fully fit and given service Dom will score goals 100%

Stop living on one past season's scoring.

He's never doing that again.

If we do we will be relegated.

It's as simple as that.

Two strikers in January are essential.

No, I mean the Ancelotti season.

Were 15 goals the year before unacceptable or something?

I’d say he had a good second half of that season and a good first half to the next but other than that, very average.

Are you classing every score-less game as average here? Just checking.

He is probably basing it on the fact he has eyes. Dom is a very average player. His decision making is appalling, 90% of the time in a 1 on 1 he will fail. Its absolutely shocking that we have hung our hat on such a bang average striker

There are conversion rate stats that completely negate another of your magical conjecture facts.

….if he returns to full fitness it’ll be a major boost but we can’t take that risk. We need an effective striker and Maupay isn’t going to fill that void.

i‘d be content if we buy a central striker and a more potent winger in January.

Would love to see these made up stats
