Re: Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Did he not have some mad stat at one point, maybe still does, that he'd never scored from outside the box?

Re: Dominic Calvert-Lewin
He's been much more effective since Leeds went to 3-5-2.
When he was the lone striker, it was exactly the same as when he played for us. Doing loads of donkey work, hardly getting any chances and then so much pressure on the 1 chance he gets that he tightened up and missed it.

Delighted for him, always gave his best for us despite being treated like Boxer by a number of neanderthal managers and as a scapegoat by numerous fans. Still bemused at the clothing and handbag hatred. Weird people out there.

Always gave his best? Hmm not sure I agree with that. He perfected the art of making it look like he was closing defenders down when he had no intentions of doing it at all.

Re: Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Nah, was flogged physically and mentally by a succession of donkeys. He had off days, like every player does, but he still stood out from most of the dross around him.bigmanbob wrote: Mon Dec 22, 2025 10:38 pm Always gave his best? Hmm not sure I agree with that.

Re: Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Yeah, lack of effort is the last thing I’d accuse him of.
It might’ve looked like a lack of effort post-injury, I think it was just a loss of athleticism. I don’t think it was a choice to no longer challenge for headers and 50-50 balls like he used to, he physically couldn’t.

Was always better than what we replaced him with, even when the goals weren't coming.
Fair play to him doing the business, I will always remember his Palace goal till the day I die.

Re: Dominic Calvert-Lewin
dcl' s weakness is one on ones - missed virtually every time in his latter days with us
great to see the lad doing well will always give dcl full respect he deserves when he plays against us
unf injuries just got the better of him

Re: Dominic Calvert-Lewin
It's gone we will never know if it would have turned round for him here, the fanbase had turned , We never really got to see him play under Moyes as he got injured against Brighton, we went on a run and Beto was scoring.
Injury record suggested he couldn't be relied upon , but would we play to his strengths , I mean we don't currently play to Betos now.
Good luck to him
