Who should partner DCL vs Toon

Post by Cjay »

Assuming we keep 3-5-2 who should partner Dominic Calvert-Lewin up top.

Lukas Nmecha
Noah Okafor
Joel Piroe
Willy Gnonto.

Added Gnonto as an alternative as some suggested it but he's the least likely you'd think.

Gnonto, he's a natural 10 who can play wing and striker but 10 is his best position for me

Nmecha, but playing as a forward not on the left wing

I assumed you'd do it today but you didn't so I thought I'd won.

Indeed, Rat.

Nmecha was worked against Chelsea until he picked up an injury, since then we haven't lost a game with Okafor assisting Calvert-Lewin, so is a change required?

Gnonto for me too. Not going to happen though, Farke clearly doesn't rate him for whatever reason.

Willy is a consideration.

I have my reservations, but each to their own!

Gnonto, purely out of curiosity.
I get the feeling he can only last a half, in the past he’s either come on as a sub or taken off for someone else.
I agree with faaip that he’s the best passer and most intelligent player who sees things others don’t but does DF, or previous managers too, see other failings?

Edit: the Christmas/New Year fixtures will have taken their toll on the ones who have put in the minutes, so I could see him getting a start.

Well he said he’s had a procedure so maybe he’s transitioning.

Will be Okafor or Nmecha.
Probably the former.
No chance Willy.
Although Farke is full of tactical surprises these days.

Went Piroe as feel his cameo deserved it.

If not him I'd go Gnonto.

Nmecha and Okafor (especially Okafor) have done nothing for months.

Run really fast, play poor pass, get tackled or kick it out of play.

Nmecha as well has done nothing for some time since his injury.
