Shukes Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 DCL sounds like a proper down to earth guy. No bullshit comes from his mouth, just pureness. I don’t think you will see him leave unless we want to sell him. He is happy here, seems to love the players around him, and is here for a long time. Proving many people wrong at the moment, I hope it continues. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 He's not a goalscorer in the sense that if he gets one chance it's a goal He's a goalscorer in the sense that he helps the team create more chances and he may get on the end and miss a couple and maybe nab one or more. Tough game today and he helped us see it out with sone well won could at the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StevO Posted September 26, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Seeing less and less of him involved in our play, but more and more clinical in the penalty area. I think 25 in all competitions has got to be possible for him this season. The lad is dangerous!

Bailey Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 If he gets this many chances each game there is no way he won't go close. 4 chances last week and 3 goals, 3 chances this week and 1 goal. These are all really good chances too and they are all in or around the 6 yard box. There must be some regression in those stats because it just cant continue like that but it would be disappointing if he didn't hit 20+ in all comps this season from here.

Hafnia Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 I think we need to temper expectations not because he can't be golden boot winner but because I don't think he relies on goals - they don't indicate his value to the team. For 3 years I went on about the need to have a striker who wasn't necessarily a great goalscorer but a player who could bring others into play. I think I said an 18 goal striker who could hold up the ball and link up was more valuable than a striker who scores 25 and nothing much else. The reality is that Dom will probably get to 18 goals and he will do it by giving the team an outlet, assists, the ability to see out games by winning fouls, chasing down lost causes. He will miss the odd sitter, may not burst the net from 30 yards, may score his goals by means of rebounds or tap ins.... But we will notice when he's not playing. He didn't have a technically great game today, he was up against tough strong centre half's, but he really did fight every step of the way .... He got his goal, probably should have had more but it was impressive watching him in the last 5 minutes - played like Alan Shearer in the sense that he won us fouls, got his body in between the ball and defender and took the hits. This is what a modern striker is all about IMO. marcgallifa and Wiggytop 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It suits him as a player because he’s getting goals. he’s not running channels anymore either. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Shukes Posted September 26, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Still some kind of stigma attached to him though. 5 goals in 3 matches and still people are trying to play his goals down..... Goalkeeper should have saved it, that’s an easy chance, he couldn’t miss! Not sure what it is some fans are trying to prove, but he seems unfashionable for some? Like Haf said, look at him for what he is. He is a team player who can score, but also create chances for others by occupying defenders. His best moment today wasn’t his goal, it was challenging for unwinnable balls. Wiggytop, Hafnia, StevO and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's averaging more passes per game than the past 2 seasons. He's doing exactly the same work as he was but he is getting into the box rather than staying outside the area. He's making strong runs to get in the area. He's winning more duels, actually involved in clearances from corners. His output is phenomenal.

There is lots of talk about him doing more for the team but he is doing less and less of it and is benefitting in the goals column as he is doing what he needs to. 2 hours ago, Hafnia said: He's averaging more passes per game than the past 2 seasons.

He is doing much less work. His ability to bring others into play in these first 3 games and post lockdown is well behind what it was before that. He did really well at the end of todays game in getting the ball to stick but the previous 60 minutes it wasnt. His passing is down from last year, he has 1 clearance in 3 games compared with an average of 1 a game last season and generally speaking his defensive contribution is down on last season. The crucial thing is, that doesn’t matter because he is sticking the ball in the net and he is clearly playing the role Carlo wants. pete0, StevO, Romey 1878 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His job is to hold it up when it’s called for but mostly to find that space in the box and be ready when the opportunity comes. I’m not sure he’s ever gonna be Harry Kane or even Jamie Vardy in terms of being able to create a goal in 1 v 1 situations but he doesn’t need to be to score 20 in the league as he’s proving so far.

Popular Post Romey 1878 Posted September 27, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 I barely noticed him against Palace apart from when he scored, but am I arsed about that though? Am I like shite. Do I think the keeper should have saved it? Yes. But did he? No, so it doesn't fucking matter and it'll go down as a goal for him. Simple as that. Is he the best finisher around? No. But if we keep creating as much as we are then it won't matter because he'll still put enough of them away to win us points. I'm enjoying him succeeding massively and so should all of us.

Popular Post Btay Posted September 27, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Let’s not over analyse it here. He was 21 year old kid leading the line for a simply dog shit side void of ideas ( Koeman/Alladyce ). He is getting better with age as we expected. Still has work to do. Also, if he isn’t personally aiming to be golden boot then he really shouldn’t be our number 9. markjazzbassist, StevO, Matt and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
