Romey 1878 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) I'll keep saying this until I'm blue in the face. Play him through the middle and he'll be quality. He showed that again when he came on. Edited August 3, 2017 by Romey 1878 Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He showed that again when he came on. Spot on- he wS like a completely different player when he came on last night.caused them more problems in 15 or so minutes than Rooney and Sandro did all night.

Cornish Steve Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 In fairness, though, he'd never score a goal like that in the Prem. The opponents looked like a League 2 club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartyBlue Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Certainly looks promising. I would say one of the things he does need to work on is his decision making. Couple of times where we probably would have scored if he'd had his head up and made a better decision with the ball.. Of course one could say similar about Barkley or even Lukaku at times.

Shukes Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Nice to see he is changing people's minds as well. Effort sometimes gets rewarded. This of has a big future ahead of him. Strong, so good in the air. Likes to beat a man and is t scared to shoot. Experience and game time will be his biggest fiend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that comes with experience. It's important to let young players make mistakes, because they learn so much from that. Over time, it leads to better decision-making. Two chances in the second half are good examples of that. First, on the right, he took too long and the Stoke defender blocked at the last moment. Second, on the left, he won the ball but tried to score from a narrow angle. In hindsight, it's easy to see there were better options. The next time he faces situation like this, he'll respond quicker or quickly cut back or pass to others in the middle.

It's clear as day he's a central striker and will go from strength to strength the more he's played there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 has looked better on the ball, but is still too lazy off the ball for me. little to no runs, pressing non-existent, even a 31 rooney is pressing. has a lot of room to grow, that's for sure.

Wouldn't çall him lazy, especially not after having Lukaku last year! i think Lukaku rubbed off on him. the minute the opposition gets the ball he just starts jogging or walking. like, well lads your turn now, pass to me and i'll start doing something. i bitched about it a lot last season as well, like he's entitled or something. he sure as hell ain't ronaldo so i don't know where it comes from. on the other hand rooney and sandro were run ragged out there. Sandro left of literal exhaustion this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked incredibly lazy when he chased down Zouma, dispossessed him, ran in on goal and should've been responsible for us going further ahead.

For me he always puts a shift in for us, no matter what. Even when he's pretty poor out wide I always think to myself that I can't fault his effort.

Totally agree, he may not have the skill set to be a winger and he's definitely no wing back but you certainly can't fault his effort Play him in his right position and he could very well go on to be a top player nutmegwolf203 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I like him a lot and am all for playing him through the middle but if he wants to keep that position he's going to have to start putting away more of his chances. Look at Rashford - looks a class player but not clinical enough to be played through the middle week in, week out. I think this is the reality with DCL - he'll get plenty of game time but if and when we get the more clinical striker we're all hoping for, his chances will be more limited as a central striker.

Shukes Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Not many players score more than 50% of one on ones these days as the standard of keepers is so high.... just look at he who should not be mentioned. So far DCL seems at a decent level for his age. Ok, he isn't scoring the right angles, but not many do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I think DCL should be given an extended run as the front man. He just needs to get on the weights and bulk up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I think he's a good finisher, honestly can't remember him missing many The one that stood out was when he broke through one on one after nicking it off Zouma... I just didn't get the feeling it was going to end up in the back of the net as it was happening. Obviously, that's only one example but I was thinking it last season and watching the u20 tournament in the summer. Don't get me wrong, I really like him, but I don't see him as a prolific goal scorer YET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His decision making will improve with game time Exactly, he's still learning his trade and that's why I think he'll be used more in wide positions this season. I'm not saying he should be, I'm saying I expect he will be because he's not the prolific central striker we need at the moment; the player I hope he will go on to be.
