markjazzbassist Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 this is his first full campaign playing nearly every match and starting. he's played bit part roles most other campaigns. let him continue to learn about endurance, stamina, and grow. he will come back next year in a different mindset and fitness and be ready. you only learn and grow through experience IMO Palfy and Shukes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 As much as he missed two chances he made two. Richarlison the far bigger let down. Give DCL his chances and he would have scored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 I am sure he probably is a bit tired just as most players will be at this time of the season but I don't think that has changed anything. He is still doing the same things he was before but the ball isn't getting to him inside the 6 yard box as it was at the start of the season. That quality chance was never going to be sustainable.

Popular Post duncanmckenzieismagic Posted April 9, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 I think it’s more a case of the way he is being asked to play, basically staying between the sticks, if we don’t create the chances for him then he offers nothing to the team and since James has been out we have really struggled to make any chances Yes he has been guilty of missing a few sitters when they have come his way recently but I’m sure once we get back to playing some attacking football he will quickly be on another scoring streak Romey 1878, markjazzbassist, dunlopp9987 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the chances the easiest was the one on one for Dom. The view from behind the goal shows he has so much of the goal gaping for him, but hit the keeper. Terrible miss for me. But I still have faith in him and I am sure he will start hitting the back of the net again. StevO and Btay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to improve his decision making when he's given time to think. I have no doubt it'll be something he'll put the time in to improve though. pete0, StevO, c1982 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, so much time for him to skip it around the keeper and slot it. As you mentioned, I don’t think Dom is the type to be content. I really hope he knows there’s room for improvement and he is still young enough to improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 I think if both of them are at their usual level they probably score two each. It’s more frustrating because they are chances that we see them both finish so often. They need to make up for it on Monday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 He does Matt. He keeps defenders occupied on him and stretches opposition defences. And like Richie, how many defensive headers does he make at the near post. I also think Dom gets an unfair ride when it comes to his technical ability. He has a decent touch on him and can take a player on. The other week he sent Richie through for two one on ones that if scored would have been labelled as assists.

His technical ability and passing range is massively under appreciated. If he did what he does for us at Barca, he'd be in all the headlines. His finishing outside of heading and poaching still needs a lot of work. Other than that he's got it all Shukes and pete0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 80m? they having a laugh? 120m and no less. all upfront. GO FUCK YOURSELF GLAZERS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo 2.0 Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Don't want to jinx it and say that it won't happen, but Manchester United desperately need a centre back and have decided to renew Eric Bailly's contract rather than spending decent money on one. I'd be very surprised if they then went and threw £100m at Calvert-Lewin, considering the Glazers clearly do not want to spend money. If this was Manchester City then yeah, maybe the story has legs but I just can't see United spending big cash, especially if they bring in Sancho. They'll probably move Martial to centre forward and/or Mason Greenwood. Edit: Forgot to mention that £80m would pay for Calvert-Lewins socks and shinpads, with the way the market is (especially around English players) I'd start the bidding at £150m.

Haiku Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 It's that what makes the difference. Big clubs don't let go of their best players. We should be rejecting any offers for him and make sure he's on board with our aspirations. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 It won’t happen even at 100 million, he’s on a long contract and we aren’t a selling club, are we?

The PL seems to be a different beast when it comes to strikers from abroad, we haven’t had that much luck in the last couple of decades bar Lukaku, if he goes who do we replace him with for the same sort of money. Although if he was to go it could change the dynamics of the team and we play a more passing game instead of hitting the long ball to a target man.

I don't know who we replace him with but, as much as I love and rate him, he's not worth £80m, so if it came in I'd be very tempted to sell.
