2017/18 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Shocked he's getting so much stick, got the ball hoofed at him all day. I don't think we seen one nice pass played into his feet.

Almost the only player on the pitch to give it his all at every contest, no the quality might not match the effort right now but at least the kid gave it a go.

Every ball was punted up to him.
He had no chance.
Virgil is a proper centre half who bossed him all game.
Really felt for the lad in the end.

He’s absolutely awful. Didn’t complete a pass all match. Guess that was someone else’s fault too.

Surely to god he can’t play on Weds.

I know it was a difficult game for him but he just offered absolutely nothing. Said it before on countless occasions, should be a player in the Championship. Even then I don't think he'd be guaranteed a start every week.
 
Shouldn't have started and utterly baffling that he finished. He tries hard and has character but seriously lacks quality and is a woeful finisher.
Sandro's been poor but he proved himself last season at a level DCL will likely never reach. Astonishing decision by Unsworth to persist with DCL. Oumar when available is in a different league and Sandro deserves a chance now he's off the mark. Please Jebus no more starting DCL.

May as well play with ten men. Rooney up front wouldn’t win any headers, but DCL doesn’t either, so we may as well play Wayne.

He never created enough space to receive a decent pass to feet. Most balls on the ground to him he rather waited for them giving the Soton defenders the easy task of getting there before him. He needs to drop a division and go out on loan because he is out of his depth at the moment. He could come good but not for a year or two.
 

Donkey Calvert-Lewin is well and truly back.

Dominated in the air and physically by Van Dijk, couldn't complete a pass to save his life and it's a saving grace he didn't get a chance in front of goal because we know where that would have ended up.

The lad improved over the summer and the fear his season would derail from being forced to lead the line has come true, time for him to get out on loan as he should have done in the summer, let him grow some confidence and we get a proper striker in to the club.
