2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Tel001]

I can’t think of a worse striker when through one on one!!!

Either Maupay or Beto … apart from that I can’t think of any… thankfully one has left

what a crazy thing to say. as if beto has hours and matches of proven failures! No, ten minutes here, 5 minutes there
he does more than the other one with eons of time and job protection. You talk like the guy is DCL! Let him start a season
of matches and then dismiss him, but people don't generally find the net EVERY time they come on for five minutes

What exactly was he supposed to do with the service he received today?

On his own. Outnumbered. No chance.

We tried giving him service last week when he botched two one on ones. What was the excuse then, didn’t give him enough chances to warm up first?

The goalkeeper cheated by being on the field

 

[jackyboy]

Nope

 

[Harryflashman]

The head down, slump-shouldered look after another pointless long ball is telling.

So I thought he was poor today with the caveat the service was awful . I do think he looked absolutely fed up and that was translated on to the pitch , feels like a bit of a viscous circle

He literally had 2 1v1s vs Ipswich and missed both.

Cant blame him for that

I'd be fed up too if the ball was just pumped up to me and the nearest player in a blue shirt was 20 metres away

Fulham must be fuming we fluked a result. Think this was one of the worst games I’ve seen him play but bar Pickford, Young, Gana and Keane maybe, whole team was terrible. Was surprised as thought we’d be kicking on after some ok resulted. Fulham are an average side as well.

Played like a kitten. Beto came on and played like a Lion.

He wins nearly every header as well but teams aren’t that bothered as there’s no one there taking a chance.

Do think Pickford kicks long far too much and not sure if it's through instructions, or he just has rushes of blood, but most times it is a useless tactic.

Head up and keep going.

It’s unreal the task he’s expected to fulfil in this archaic set up.

Any attacking player outside perhaps Messi needs players around them, to link, to create space, to work with.

Dom gets a ball pumped up, has to beat grock type CBs to the ball, control the ball, then do something with it..

He works hard for the team, but it’s not appreciated. He offers an out ball.

He needs to score more, I hope he gets the chance under a manager who actually attempts to play some sort of actual football.
