Wiggytop Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 23 hours ago, Paddock said: 11 goals and 7 assista in 73 appearances is not great is it. I know he’s young and a lot of those will be dub appearances but you look at the likes of Lukaku, Fowler, Owen, Rooney,Henry, Anelka etc etc by the time they were his age they were rattling 20 a season. He’s not a goalscorer and that’s my biggest worry with him. I like the lad, I really do but where does he fit in if we buy a big name striker? We don’t and doubt under Silva we will play a second striker and he’s no good when pushed out wide. Can't argue with the those cold facts, but if you look at 8 of the 11 being this season it looks promising, I think he has the ability to progress, the run in the team is giving him the confidence he needed, I can see him getting 15 plus next season, add Richarlison and Siggys threat of a similar no and it's not looking bad, even better if Bernard starts to find the net. I'd rather have the treat coming from a number of players instead of one, it covers the dip in form or injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 He's got the lot... I've said this for a long time now. There were moments where he looked far from ready but the attributes to be a top striker are there. His pace being one.... 21.4 mph he hit that's rapid.... that's quicker than walcott, Ronaldo and Lennon from records a few years back. In the air he's getting better.... now he knows his inclusion in the side isn'tt dependant on goals I believe you will see him flourish. This lad is a genuine genuine talent. nutmegwolf203 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t argue with what you said about his desire pace hard work etc but Silva is right when he said he was disappointed by our lack of goals, and for that reason I don’t think he will be given the time to develop further next season if he doesn’t start burying them from now to the end of the season. Brands and Silva will be looking to bring in a proven goal scorer, I think they are getting exasperated by the amount opportunities we create and the lack of opportunities taken, something has to change.

How many of those chances have been missed by DCL though? He does need to be getting on the end of chances for sure, but right now he’s coming in handy for causing havoc in the oppositions defence by dragging them all over the pitch creating space for the likes of Sigurdsson, Richarlison and Bernard. If anything, those three need to do better for Dominic. Wiggytop, Matt, StevO and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 honestly i think the goal blame is shared equally between all our forward players, bernard, dcl, gylfi, and richarlison and then the bench players lookman walcott davies tosun. the only ones who score are gylfi richarlison and to a lesser extent DCL. the whole rest of the lot has been pretty bad in front of the net. so to just blame DCL is short sighted in my opinion.

Very true and DCL has been either subbed on or off on most, his tally is OK based on that, he's not that many behind Lacazzette either. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the Gwladys end and your right Gylfi and Bernard should have done better with there chances, but if we don’t start converting chances and we go out and buy a striker in the summer in all honesty who do you think will be dropped, Gylfi Richarlison Bernard or DCL. Now whether it’s right or wrong if they get a striker in they want he will become the fall guy unfairly in all our opinions, but the management are going to be looking to turn our opportunities into goals, so I believe if he doesn’t start sticking them away he will more than likely loose his starting place next season.

Shot down by your own investigation is that an own goal I know what you are saying though more people should be coming up with the goods, 20 something attempts and only one converted you can understand why Silva isn’t best pleased and I’m pleased he’s not pleased. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another elephant in the room regarding the current manager, has there ever been one so reluctant to use kids? No debuts this season and only Lookman with more minutes than he got last year. Was looking at the spread of our goals the other day, didn't bother checking the others thought but I'd imagine most have more than just the three players with more than 3 goals. Digne is our 4th top scorer (3) and joint top for assists (4). markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 My late stepdad used to say of ivy that the first year it sleeps, the second year is creeps, and the third year it leaps. I get the feeling we're in the second year for DC-L and look forward to him leaping ahead next season. What's really exciting is the possibility of DC-L and Henry creating a partnership that has them scoring goals for fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Silva has said, he does need to sharpen up his decisions in final third - doesnt mean he needs to score but find/look for that final ball. Very promising signs though.

When did Walcott last give someone else an opportunity when he can grab the glory?, really thought he had made another mess of an opportunity with his first touch before actually finishing well. DCL was great again yesterday, again without the goal to give him any numerical award, his header was an assist for Richarlison and he was up with Walcott for the Tap in if it came, all good signs to me. MOTD2 gave him praise also, particularly Keown. There was also a very good interview with Dom in the Times on Saturday, he certainly is saying all the right things.

Popular Post Romey 1878 Posted April 22, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Am I really reading criticism for someone scoring a goal?! If it was a really tough angle for Walcott or something then I'd get it, but it wasn't. The opportunity was there for him to score and it was the sort of chance he's actually quite good at taking, so he took it and slotted it home. If it was the other way round and DCL was racing in on goal with Walcott free for a tap in, I'd have been disappointed as fuck if he'd squared it for Walcott and I'd put money on people on TT complaining that because he did that it showed he doesn't have the attacking instincts of a striker and he needs to be more selfish. Attacking players attack. Attacking players want to score goals. pete0, StevO, Sibdane and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
