2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[RomanReigns]

Harry Kane would have buried that

 

[ToffeeTim]

He desperately needs a goal. But he's had the chances recently and is missing them. His finishing is just unfortunately not that a high a level.

Watkins v DCL = Man v Boy

 

[The binman chronicles]

Exactly. He's still head and shoulders out best option for the team and bringing other players into the attack and keeping possession

Villa found it a lot easier to play out the from defence once Beto came on.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

It was a carbon copy of his goal against Villa in the league cup (well apart from the final outcome) . Clean through on goal looks to his right opens his body and then puts it in the opposite corner but Martinez didn't fall for it and stuck a leg out whereas Olsen just fell down.

 

[Efcjake]

Decent all round play but the boy couldn't finish his dinner unfortunately.

Would rather we put time and effort into coaching Beto'o the art of hold up play than persist with this shyster.

Today?

I seen things bouncing off of him and passes misplaced.


I wouldn't be so arsed if he looked like he was having an impact on the game but this is yet another 70 minutes where he's offered nothing but missing a chance or two.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Yes, but any half decent striker doesn't go three months without scoring.

He's been like this since Benitez rocked up. Three years of it now

His form under Ancelotti looks more and more like a blip as this goes on.

And maybe address the other point?

Strikers sometimes miss chances, it happens.

He's out of form but we're not replacing him for anyone better anytime soon. That includes Beto and the 4th choice lad we got from Sporting Lisbon.

The rest of his game today was 100x better than Beto's though sadly so what do you really do.

So play him like Carlo did...

Beto hasn’t got the touch to start in this league - nothing sticks with him and we end up defending deeper and deeper

 

[ToffeeTim]

Unfortunately the service argument isn't really a valid one. He should have scored more goals. And we need him to score more goals because the team functions better when he plays.

 

[MACCA75]

….you see the difference when Beto comes on and every ball played forward comes straight back.

How many times did DCL control a long ball, hold it up and play a pass? People see things that simply didn’t happen.
We were on the back foot when Beto came on, that wasn’t his fault.

Dcl is crap though in he, you took the mask of yet?

I refuse to believe Dawin Nunez's xG this season is only 8.66

Beto didn't get fed DCL did and he failed big style yet again. We actually need another striker to get us out of this mess
