DCL

[sam of the south]

Think you're right, but he's also reverted to doing lots of work outside the box, assuming that's an ask from Carlo due to those players you mention missing, so will be interesting to see how this changes with James coming back

Yeah, in that first half Mr. Hidey was ahead of him a lot of the time, so I guess DCL felt he had to come a bit deeper, just to get something going, seeing as our number 10 didn’t seem to want to act like one.

He was unlikely to maintain his early season scoring ratio so I'm not too concerned about his current drought. However, I think the lack of variety in the type of goals he scores is making him pretty ineffective at the moment.

Yeah, DCL does his best work in the 6 yard box really. He doesn’t have a threat like for example Kane does in terms of his ability to hit it from outside the area. So if we aren’t creating chances close to goal his goal threat does go down.

We never create anything. When we do he scores.

We never create anything. When we do he scores.

When he had a run of 5 games scoring, his shots in each game were :

2, 6, 4, 3, 5

During his 5 game drought :

1, 3, 2, 1, 2

Make chances score goals, same as it ever was.

Not in the game at all today

Was absolutely knackered. Didn’t have the spring in his step either and his leap was non existent.

We have been playing backs against the wall tactics. Which is understandable as we had 4 cb's playing due to injuries. So chances dry up which means the goals do.

Soon as we get fullbacks, Allan and James back and fit then start providing chances the goals will start again.

I know Coleman and James played yesterday but to the match sharpness level is different.

The guy needs a break,simple as that.
Problem is the back up is not up to the job
So we have to keep flogging him,end result performances like last night.
Most people have been banging the drum for a proven premier league scorer since lukaku went,we are still waiting.

I’d rest half the team against whoever it is we’re playing in the fa cup next weekend. Dcl included.

Definitely needs a rest, also has barely had any service recently and as a result against West Ham he was dropping back deep to get the ball, which we really don't want to see from him

Carlo had pretty much hailed what had made him into a goalscorer being that he was staying up there and coming alive in the box

Must be frustrating as hell for him at the moment. Hopefully James and Digne are back soon as they are pretty much the creative ones in the side and most likely to be the supply line for him

We need to be more willing to play it direct into him when he pins the defenders.

Historically he’s not been amazing at back to the goal play but at the rate he’s improving he’s probably already better at it than we think.
