2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[trueblue84]

I didn’t say DCL deserves anything.

But saying those guys do isn’t correct, they’re in training, they get minutes on the pitch.

In Betos case in particular, it seems you get the same goal scoring without all the big chance misses or headers won. Doesn’t sound like a recipe for success

Bit harsh on beto. He has hardly had the same chances that Calvert lewin has.

Interesting that.

5 starts for beto
2 wins
1 draw
2 losses

Losses against 2 of the 3 class teams in the league.

How he hasn't had a better chance is criminal.

Certain players undroppable

 

[Swartzy]

Has dyche ever made a half time sub that wasn't injury related? He doesn't even like to make tactical subs before 70th minute unfortunately

I think the phrase 'Tactical' might be the issue there..

The guys best pass of the season was when he tripped over the ball last night.

Not everyone deserves an equal chance. His whole game is predicated on him being bigger and faster than his defender. Might work in Italy, still could work here, but it’s much tougher in the PL.

How many games actually is it without a goal now?

More than half a season, its not his fault though

In total minutes that accumulates to just over 6 games played and 90% as a sub which is so much more difficult to get into a game.

If dyche will move Ashley Young to any position on the pitch just to give him game time, then I can't imagine him dropping dcl.
Mcneil and garner have been shocking these past games as well but they won't be dropped either.

Doesn’t matter mate. I’ve been told in this very thread that we base off appearances to goals regardless of how many minutes they get.

Looking at minutes is “agenda driven”

The stats dont lie for Beto, for DCL though their is more mitigating factors than our PSR breach

 

[Marius57]

Won 17/20 aerial duels and 5/7 ground duels.

Pumping the ball long to him repeatedly might work if we had players around him to pick up the second balls. But an unfit doucoure and slow players like Young are not going to manage that.

I’ve done the stats previously for DCL in terms of mins per goal as a CF. He is in a bad run now but generally, his career stats are decent for someone signed for 1.5m. (A month ago is was a goal every 2.6 games).

It’s his 8th season as a Prem forward and he’s scored 50. He’s a poor finisher that had a purple patch of tap ins.

Also you can’t say he scored every 2.6 games because it’s not true. Might have scored every 230 minutes on the pitch, but that’s not the same thing.

kind of the point I had been making, when someone else was commenting about Beto only playing the equivalent of 6 games etc.

 

[Tel001]

If we made the net bigger he would have had 2 last night.

Nah, he would have still put it 2 yards wide
