Best thing that could ever happen to DCL is a goal scoring Beto.

I roasted Calvert Lewin in the match thread after that miss but I don't think there's a massive difference between him and Toney, truth be told. And Toney is going to cost whoever he ends up at some stupid money. If we had money to invest in the squad (ha!) I would rather it be spent on other forward player with a bit of composure - a right winger and no. 10.
I like using this thread as a barometer to spot who has very limited footie knowledge.
Yakubu was with us, what, 2 years? With one of them being completely wiped out due to an injury? Come on Goat, that's weak. Yakubu was probably the best striker I've seen at the club until Lukaku.
His misses were forgiven the second Doucoure scored.

Dom's contribution to the team is way more than goals. As long as others score and we win, the misses don't matter. Hopefully he gets the winner in a game where we don't carve too many out and he goes on a purple patch.

Same. Far too many knee jerk reactions in here. The boy is pure class and his finishing touch will soon return.

Love how after every win we have to find someone to be the conduit for our hate.
He needs a goal, build the confidence. He looks lean and fit, but, ultimately his goal contribution as a forward is what he will be judged on.
I hope he starts to score, we need goals from everywhere and currently that's all that matters.

At least Dave is consistent with his irrational hatred of young Nathan, I`ll give him that.
Apart from that glaring miss, DCL led the line well - made Mcneils goal easier fir him (Mcneil thanked him for that ] - the team won 3-0 - so his miss did not matter - just like Betos hoof over the bar v Forest ...

Missed two chances but what he brought to the performance was immense. Ran Schar and Lascelles ragged. They'll know they played against a top centre forward this morning, they couldn't live with him. Lascelles looked forlorn when he was brought off. As a number 9 myself he does what you want from a number 9 in spades. He's mobile, a threat in behind and to feet, immense hold up play mixed with great movement, works the entire backline, and has a bit of an edge to him aswell. His 'match fitness' is staring to return. And that's not just lasting 80 minutes - It's also about your timing, altering your decision making to suit the personnel around you, and how you read the game. When I watch a number 9 a key indicator is how often they read the transition or break down in play, how often are they first on the scene when the ball is hacked clear? Several times last night we aimlessly got rid down the flanks or headed out from a cross, and Dom was already there. Think he deserves to take some of the credit for all three goals, Newcastle were completely panicked by him.
