He's missed a few of them already this season.
Had the same discussion on Bamford.

As long as DCL thunders into a few defenders occasionally he will be seen as vital.

He's done a good job for us but he's limited in basically every way (hence why he was a free agent).

The header was a sitter and so was the one when he was through on goal but offside.

The 3rd was decent defending by the Brighton player but a goalscorer would have put lift on it not just blast it along the floor

His touch round the keeper took him to wide to notice Dunk covering - other than that I have zero criticism.

Just need to control the ball a bit more in the second half, the last 10-15 minutes we let them have it more than I’d like but otherwise, good half.

They are at home mate - we are not going to dominate a team like Brighton for long periods.

No he wouldn't.

If he was that good, the Dutch would pick him.

Instead he plumped for a tin-pot nation as he knows his limitations.

DCL 100% shots on target today. One of them led to a goal. The other a goal line clearance we would have been cheering standing up in our armchairs if Rodon had done it.

Hmmm… maybe we should get rid of our free top goal scorer.

Nice work from Okafor, a touch behind DCL though then Tanaka snuffs out any break

Stach should put that away, better effort than DCL's, but still
