2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

But those players bring nothing else to the game other than scoring goals.

DCL is well above average in all other areas of modern lone striker play.

His weakness is being clinical in front of goal - and this is clearly a big weakness.

Is this something that can be improved at this stage? Who knows. But DCL brings much more to the game aside from scoring goals. When Maupay wasn't scoring goals (which he didn't for us), he was a total liability out there. Same with Niasse

There's no argument that he brings more to the game than goals.

If Beto or Maupay was banging in one every week though you wouldn't have people shouting for DCL to start over them because he runs the channels better.

He's undoubtedly the best of what we have but call me strange for wanting strikers that score goals as well as run about a bit.
