2017/18 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[ExpatinBangkok]

Good attitude, really tries hard, but no where near good enough to be a starting striker the Premier league.

Niasse must start as he does at least score sometimes and tries just as hard as DCL.

Still cant believe we a) chose to sell lukaku and b) then didn't replace him.

 

[Joey66]

How many actual clear cut chances did he stuff up today?

The through ball was no where near him from vlasic and the cross where his header went wide was a nigh on impossible header.

So none.

Held the ball up well fed off scraps, what did Rooney do after his goal?
sig is not a left winger
Awful balance about the side
Oh and Baines is finished no pace now!

Zilch, other than under hit and over hit a load of passes, including the miscontrol that lead to Williams nearly getting sent off which meant a total re jig at HT

This kid try's his best but there is no way he should be leading the line of a supposed top 10 premier league club.

 

[Nymzee]

Stick. Niasse up front and watch him score goals

Didn't we try that from the start that vs Burnley? What happened?

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Thought he played really well today, very telling the boos when Koeman gave him the hook.

And he was our best player for the first half

 

[Nymzee]

And he was our best player for the first half

All dem goals he scored.

 

[tmgc]

Nowhere near good enough yet, hopefully being part of this shambles doesn't destroy his confidence.

 

[sageyefc]

All dem goals he scored.

Our joint top scorer isn't he ?

 

[kithnou]

Should not start a game if he is the lone striker. Has no goals at this stage. If we only play one up front then play Niase or anyone’s nan.

I like the boy, but it’s becoming a laughing stock that we have this kid as our starting striker.

 

[Nymzee]

Our joint top scorer isn't he ?

From the bench, where he should only arrive from.

 

[ianefc]

He did all he could. Tactics were obvious, when we go long stand on Monreal when Arsenal have the ball stand on Mertesecker.

He wasn't great today, but he has zero coming from Sigurdsson and Rooney in open play, literally nothing.

Offers more threat than dcl. I know given the two id much rather see oumar start, at least he carries a goal threat

 

[Axlswhk]

DCL problem is he drifted wide too often. Sometimes all the way to the corner flag. That's the problem we have, with striker lurking at the wing and winger lurking no where near wide enough to provide width.

Force him to stay central and give him intense upper body strength weights training instead of focusing his task on running wide.
