Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Lanolin]

He went off early but had been immense in the short few minutes he was on the pitch. Very involved. Look forward to having him back.

Yep, according to Squawka he had 2 touches. Running the game he was.

Definitely had more than that. It was right in front of my eyes and he'd made at least two dribbles and won us a corner.. before getting injured in abar the 6th minute.

We looked dangerous with him partnered with Rom that day, after he had done more than enough to warrant his start in various sub appearances.

Edit, prob closer to 10 minute mark tbh

No idea why, but I have good vibes about this feller.

Like Mo, Koeman seems quite pleased that he's returning. Probably rates him.

My interpretation of it too.

Interestingly, Steve Walsh, apart from confirming that he sat down and discussed with Koeman how he wanted to play and the types of players he needed, noted that DCL was a very shrewd piece of business.

He's gonna be better than Maradona.

DCL is clearly not a winger in the mould of say Geri, Bolassie, Lookman etc but he's shown he can play in support of a striker , most notably when Niasse was setting the U23s on fire with his goals and DCL on a couple of occaisions used his pace in attack to get behind the defence and supply Niasse. He offers something different when up front or playing wider and is closer to Kone's style than say Valencia/ Lookman. He doesn't strike you as an out an out goalscorer compared to Rom at the same age, but he will contribute more to the team effort. He's got a long way to go yet to prove himself as a regular PL player , but he's similar to Davies in his attitude and enthusiasm to learn more and can only improve from here.

Decent in the air.

We don't need pilots mate. We need people who are licenced lawnmower drivers if anything.

Seen him score a couple of bullets for England under 20s.

I knew that lawn course I took would come in handy.

Time to realize my PL dream, where do I sign up!

 

[blueloon]

DCL on the bench today , that's a surprise thought he may have come back via U23s on Monday but great that RK rates him so highly. His last chance today to score a PL goal as a teenager, so hope he gets on and scores.

 

[banno]

Koeman obviously sees something in this lad. We have seen a few glimpses of skill but not much to date. He must be tearing it up in training. I was expecting Lookman to be given a cameo today but can't complain as Koeman got it spot on today.

*Mods
Surely it's time to promote the lad from 'confirmed signing' to 'player'
