2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Rita_Poon]

Dynamite shins first half.

 

[Frosty1878]

Crap

 

[Chrismac]

Any half decent striker scores that chance at the death.. we will be a better team once he's gone and will look back and laugh how awful he was technically

 

[Jimmy Flangemoth]

DCL is still young and finding his feet in the PL. He's only had 218 starts, so needs time. I'd give him until he is 30-years-old, then we can judge him.

 

[Del-boy]

Didn’t see the match. Did he have any good chances?

Yes he had 2. First one where Mcneil slipped him through, tight angle but shot too close to the keeper and not enough power on it.

2nd one right at the death where it fell to him from about 8yds out and he pea rolled it into the keepers arms

 

[Victus]

Thought he was ok tbh

Thought he was ok tbh

The weather was terrible so hard to criticize him much. Hard for him to hold the ball up today. For these types of games I wish we had another option. Hopefully Broja, Chermo, Beto whoever shows something different that Dom lacks.

Thought his runs were really poor. We had so many chances to counter and he didn't know where to go.

 

[Cels]

I felt that Dominic Calvert-Lewin did okay today, nothing brilliant, but maybe could have done better with the shot he had in the second half.

I would agree with that. I mentioned this earlier but if Ndiaye had gotten that ball in front of the defenders in the first half, it is an easy tap in for Jesper. Dom should be in that position. I feel like he gets caught offsides a bit too much as well and needs to be a bit more clever.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I have to add though that Leicester got away with an absurd amount of abuse today. Straight up ran Dom over a few times without a whistle

 

[Rodebaard]

Ho hum. He needs too many chances to score. He works hard, wins a lot of headers, but never really fancy him with the ball at his feet. He doesn't seem to be getting to the ball first when it comes in either. Maybe that's not fair, I dunno. Really hoping that Broja will take the chances that he misses (assuming he gets in the same positions, which isn't a given).

 

[EDINHO1]

Best striker at the club by a mile.

Looked a bit off it, certainly not his usual self in terms of energy/runs etc. Most likely still recovering from illness though.
