Reviewing the performance of Dominic Calvert-Lewin at Leeds, it is clear that he has been met with mixed reactions. Despite the team securing a 2-1 win against West Ham, Calvert-Lewin continues to draw criticism for his lackluster displays.
In the recent match, Calvert-Lewin once again failed to find the back of the net, extending his goal drought to six out of seven games. His performance was marred by his inability to win aerial battles and complete passes effectively. Running seemed to be the extent of his contributions, leaving much to be desired.
The stats paint a bleak picture for Calvert-Lewin, with only one goal from a high expected goal (xG) ratio, poor shot accuracy, and low success rates in dribbling and aerial duels. These shortcomings highlight the need for improvement from the 28-year-old if he hopes to justify his place in the team.
With Joel Piroe and Lukas Nmecha waiting for opportunities, the pressure is on for Calvert-Lewin to step up. If his form does not improve, dropping him may be the most sensible decision for Leeds going forward.
