Aidan Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Back top of the scoring charts again. Still in disbelief how many he's getting under Carlo. Honestly, he's gone from me believing he wont make it at this level, to me thinking he would be a useful squad player for us, to potentially being a 20+ season striker.

Hes always been capable physically, and has developed really well technically, but most of all his intelligence has gone through the roof. His brain has soaked up so much of what it has been taught from countless managers, and Dunc. In fact, the many roles managers have given him if anything have possibly helped him to become more of a rounded player. Still wouldn't like him at RWB though!

Popular Post Bailey Posted November 22, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 I think DCL's recent rise just shows how the right manager at the right time with the right system can work wonders for a player. I think he has improved his all round play but I don't think it is by that much. The difference to DCL is that he is playing in the right areas far more often and he is getting the service. His movement has always been very good but it has been wasted down the channels or with poor quality delivery. Now his movement is so much more focused and when he gets those chances he is invariably scoring. I dont think I have ever seen a striker score so many goals from in or around the six yard box.

I think the last bit is key, his instinct has always been there but his execution wasn’t because he was having to work and think more. He’s got to be one of the most efficient strikers going at the moment, how many 1 touch goals does he have this season? Obviously due to the service too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won us the game on Sunday.... Equally important to his goals was his ability to be an outlet when we were under the cosh. Absolute masterclass. If we had a goalscorer on the pitch we would have drawn or lost the game.... Dom is a footballer and that's why we won. I've never been arsed about his goal tally, as long as you win because of the striker is the thing. Firminho has always been my example.

Wiggytop Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 I agree with all 5 posts above, he was once again so important to us last night. I don’t think I’ve ever see a player win an aerial duel and his own knock on so many times, he’s done it all the time he’s been at Everton, usual on the wing in his early days, now it’s more central. I think there’s still flaws in his game, his distance shooting needs work, but in the box he’s like Lineacre but a hugely bulked up version, and in the air probably the best in the PL, and so strong, Mendys assault ( should have had a yellow at least) for the pen would have left many needing treatment, but Dom gets up smiling I was wincing watching MOTD when they were talking about MU needing a proper CF fully expecting them to say they needed to go for Dom Hafnia and markjazzbassist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane has developed into a top all round player, his finishing has been world class and now he's dropping deep and proving he can really play too. I expect Kane to play well against Liverpool today. He just needs to stop that "tunnelling" bullshit where he tries to win a foul by toppling a player who has jumped for a header, dangerous and needs punishment DCL is the best hold up striker in the league. The endless arguments as to why Lukaku did or didn't need to do the stuff we seen DCL do yesterday was answered (they have been before)..... Not that Rom could do that role - the technical ability, attitude, and fitness isn't there. That's not just an excuse to give Rom a kicking, yesterday's game wouldn't have suited James either.

The big difference between Kane and DCL is outside the box where Kane is much better; whether it’s shooting from distance or picking out a team mate.

RuffRob Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Dom has been immense over the past 12 months, but rose tinted glasses off, we need to see become the norm over a couple of seasons before talking about him in the same breath of Harry Kane. Kane's goal per game ratio has continually been off the scale since he broke on to the scene and his assists stats is mighty impressive as well. Top top player, this will be his 7th season in a row battling at the top of the premier leagues goal charts (and still only 27 this season). I am amazed that he hasn't been plucked from Spur's by the best and riches clubs in the world - so a bit of kudos to both Kane and Spurs for staying together. Truly a player you can build a team around. I would love us to continually have that sort of relationship with Dom.
