If you're pushed in the back as you jump it's hard to not superman forward. Definitely foul for me. It's a foul outside the penalty ares.

Played well tonight I thought, would have buried the Beto header at the end, just sods law he wasn't on the pitch when it happened.

Came close with a couple of good headers though and he obviously looks way more comfortable leading the line than playing up top with Beto.

He missed a really bad chance himself.

Which one? I can only remember him heading against the bar and the stooped header that landed on the top of the net?

Had a better game today. Still no goal but he played the lone striker well.

He hasn't scored in about 16 games and has missed plenty chances in that time, you can't say with any certainty he scores it, there's every chance he misses it too.

Longest scoring drought in his time with us, apparently... maybe something to do with how we play?!

Great with his head though so I'd back him all day long tbh.

Which would be a valid point if he hadn't been pinging them everywhere except on target for the last three months.

The one from the corner. Four yards out, clear header, loads of the goal to aim at.

I wouldn’t back him to put anything away at the moment.

Fair enough, didn't think it looked that easy on the one replay I saw but could do with seeing it again tbf

Fair point

Exactly.

When he had his purple patch, he had Richarlison, James, Sigurdsson, Iwobi and Digne all in forward positions in and around him, or delivering great balls into him. Totally different to the last couple of seasons, selling or more correctly being forced to sell them/allow them to leave/pushing them all out is a major factor in why Calvert Lewin is suffering.

No. Statistically, he's been the worst finisher in the prem this season. Stop making excuses for him.

But he's played for us all season so could easily be how we play?
