2017/18 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[jceverton]

First touch was excellent mate and he did it all right, just not going to start rimming him over one goal, I'm not that fickle.

Don't think anyone is getting into the rimming stage just yet, except maybe Woolly Blue with his missus lol

 

[IRO1977]

He does look far better at centre forward, could turn out to be a good one. Seems to have grown a fair amount in the last few months too, has a physical presence about him these days

Can we not just wait and see?

 

[Woolly Blue]

Can we not just wait and see?

Aye, course we can mate.
In fact, as a minimum, unless he turns out to be megagash ( which is unlikely ) we won't be able to judge him properly till the end of the season.

 

[Nymzee]

10 goals all comps this season.

To be honest mate I've been the same, never rated him.
I've always wondered what he offers but then I'm wondering have I ever seen him play CF, must be difficult playing second fiddle to someone like Lakaku, I'm starting to warm to him after the coolness he showed.

I think that's the first time he's been played as a striker for us? And not on either side. Took the goal well and it's what we needed so hopefully more to come

Watching him tonight, I was reminded of Anichebe's early performances in Europe... and I mean that in a good way.

He's a great option to bring on late in a Euro away match.

Won the World Cup playing up top.

Growing up very quickly this lad....could have a future here.

I would never underestimate the influence Big Dunc has on any striker that comes to the club.

I wasn't disagreeing with you.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

All the lad needs now is for Koeman to realise he can't play out wide.

It feels like every football manager, for club and country, persists with round pegs in square holes. I always convince myself that it'll change, but it never does!

 

[Houghty19]

Someone said it earlier he has defo grown physically in the last 6 months which makes all the difference at the level he has been playing. More strength to hold players off etc etc. He's still young (very young) so how about everybody cuts him a bit of slack and gives him credit where it's due. Great finish which made a possibly difficult last 15 minutes a breeze for all involved. Pat on the back now push for a start rather than sub although this may take another season before its a regular occurrence.
Oh and by the way agree he is not a wide man but may do more of a job there as the season progresses along with his physical prowess.

 

[Titus Bramble]

Took his goal really well
