2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

So we agree on the first part. Is the 2nd really that daft? Would you want to pay £100k per week for what he offers?
We pay players more than DCL - that's his beef - rumours are if Dyche goes he will sign a new contract .....not many of his ilk out there atm - if he is still fit in a good team he will score ...he's proved that ....
 

You argue with every poster who says anything you don't agree with. Rude with it too.
No only on this DCL thread - it was massive before Ancelotti came - running him down - then when he started scoring they all shut up - or disappeared - if he leaves in January good luck to him - I put my well-founded points of view over - ATM he is the best no 9 we have blaming him every game is ridiculous - if he has a stinker - I will not defend him - there are aspects of his game on one on ones where he is poor -

The service he got today from HOOF Ball Dyche tactics - we could have robbed 3 points - but to get not one corner at home is shocking ....
every team needs an engine room in midfield - we have a poor one ATM ....
 
It’s harder for him when Doucoure plays I always think.
It’s hard whoever is played with him because there is no discernible plan/patterns of play/overloads in areas of the pitch except to try and chase the ball we have no interest in retaining or to play percentage ball with a set piece. He’s clearly the most technically gifted striker we have but we don’t want to involve him in playing football, just battling with centre backs in the air. I’ve been overly critical of Beto but he doesn’t have a chance of success in this setup either. Dyche sets the team up as a bleep test.

I worry at night thinking of Dyche taking children’s soccer schools as his next job, pinging balls at 6 and 7 year olds heads shouting “get it in the office son”.

No keyboard warrior brain fart insults there, so i respect your views.Don't agree with them but we're all different.👍
 

He looked a bit fed up to me today. Not his greatest fan at all, have to say tho the lack of service or what was wellied up to him was lacklustre.

I thought he did well in a moment in the second half with good hold up play and turn that won us a free kick which unfortunately Garner hit way over the bar.

He wins a lot of headers but there’s never anyone in the right place or taking a gamble to pick it up. Can’t recall a single goal we’ve scored playing that way.
it’s idiotic

He might have won a free kick which has resulted in a goal which justifies it in the eyes of a few? but it’s Saturday night and I’m far too lazy to check. I will save my energy for something more fun

I just hope we get taken over, ASAP - so this style of football ends & if DCL moves on - good luck to him - Dyche has taken us as far as he can & he has had funds this summer - personally I hope the new owners will have a clean sweep - new board new DOF & AGM's remember them ? -
That football today was diabolical v an average team with no CF - it can't go on, or we will be relegated - DCL is the least of our problem IMO ....
