2017/18 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[stretford blue]

The team is better when he plays upfront that's the bottom line theres a focal point to the attack.

 

[Woolly Blue]

DCL 1 goal in 17 PL games

The better players score goals from an early age. Rooney, Owen, Jeffers, Defoe, Lukaku.

Hmmm. If you compare him to Owen and Lukaku, then I'd agree with you. I'm going to ignore Jeffers, because he went on to do absolutely nothing in football, but I'm going to pull you up on Defoe and Rooney

Defoe's first two full seasons in the PL with West Ham ... 10 in 35 and 8 in 38. so he was decent, but not exactly prolific in scoring goals
Rooney's first two seasons with us ... 6 in 33 and 9 in 34

Based on that, if DCL gets ~ 8 goals in the PL this season, then he's following a similar path to Defoe and Rooney.
I can wait till the end of the season before revisiting this ...

That was when the league was of a much poorer standard

 

[hetion]

More and more convinced the boy really has something.

 

[MACCA75]

He's awful. Strikes the ball like an Osman mis-hit.

 

[sageyefc]

I will say this in his defence, and in the defence of all our strikers, they have to create their own chances because they're feeding on scraps. No service at all

 

[arch stanton]

did alright, not his fault we got beat

 

[blueloon]

For me our best player today, which may not say much but at least he was always involved and trying to make things happen. If he was on loan to a mid table Championship club we'd be calling for his return so we could see what he's like in a decent team. Instead he's trying to make things happen in a team playing like a mid table Championship club.

This lad will be boss once he gets service!

 

[ExpatinBangkok]

Well he's no worse than sandro or niasse, but that's the best I can say of him.

 

[Paul w]

Championship player if he's lucky,awful.

 

[fareastblue]

He cant shoot

 

[paulbefc]

He's very good at hold-up play and winning headers, chasing lost causes etc.

Unfortunately you need to score goals to win games though and this is infinitely more important than all of the above.

Did well today

 

[dannyboy]

Did well today

By the standards that he's a young lad who isn't ready to be starting for a Premier League team?
