Romey 1878 Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 Might have helped if we had any sort of midfield to supply him with even a whiff of the ball, so I found it impossible to judge him last night. Matt and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely an element of this too. Even the small sniffs he had though he was well off (to be expected). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 Let's all be honest the truth is he's not good enough to lead a team desperate for goals, sorry if that upsets any of you but he won't be firing us up the league. He missed an open header that he completely balls'd up, then a perfect pass to his feet splitting to defenders in the area and his first touch was woeful. Top strikers need to make the most of any chances they get in this league, and he isn't able to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 He gave the illusion of being a goal scorer when he was getting crosses into 6 yard box when we had Richarlison and James. He’s not a goal scorer but he’s a target man. We don’t have a goalscorer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top strikers need to make the most of any chances they get in this league, and he isn't able to do so. There was a header on a corner that I was surprised he didn't put away. He's still just coming back from injury, so he needs some time to gel, but I'm also worried that he's just not going to score a lot in this type of team and the way we're playing. He's not a clinical striker in my opinion, and he's not going to create chances from nothing like a Richarlison could, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most strikers can be a poacher when you have balls getting fired across the 6 yard box. I can’t recall a time where I’ve seen him collect the ball outside the box and score.

DCL isn't, wasn't and never will be a striker. He's a CF that's best at poaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not killing him. I’m merely explaining that he’s been built up to be a player that he’s not. He’s a great target man and athlete. He’s not a goal scorer.

I was happy with his output when he worked the channels, battled centre halves. I’d take 11 goals a season from him if he can get back to that battling hard running front man.
