Anyone else getting frustrated with DCL? I get he's isolated, but apart from the penalties recently he's been poor.
We either change our system to accommodate or we upgrade in the summer.

Think he's excelled in my expectations, Dougie, but he's definitely out of form, so I would support all three options: flex our systems, rotate, and definitely add to the forward line in the summer.

DCL wasn't good today (but then no one was) ..

However, overall this season he has played well, but yes, if we stay up we need to recruit another better striker also.

Allan Clarke, Mark Viduka, Tony Yeboah quality.. If only.

Just my opinion. Nmecha has shown that little bit more when he's come on, he can get a decent shot away.
I felt today we never showed up. Usually, when we go a goal down, we up the tempo, and that wasn't there today; maybe the occasion got the better of us.
Great to see Stach back. ???

Agreed across the board! Far too isolated.

I was at the game today, fortunately, and, as most have said, it was a game of 2 halves. On a positive, our fans were amazing, unlike our opponents who only made a noise once they scored. How did it seem on TV?

I would stick with DCL for the last 4 games, but I agree, he has been off form for a while now. If we stay up, an upgrade is required.

He was piss poor today, and his goal-scoring has been the same for a long while. However, he's still integral to the way we play.

DCL is still an asset, and we've got more out of him this season than many expected in terms of goals and leading the line. It's been obvious for a while that we do need another top class striker at the Club, but for financial reasons that's not been a possible option.
If we stay up, and we should, then a new striker should be top of the list.

He might be first on the team sheet, but DCL is a very good backup. Add a decent winger, a good AM, a left-footed defender who can play either at FB or CB, and we've got a good group. I'm more relaxed about the keeper situation.

I would totally try to cash in on DCL in the summer if someone was silly enough to offer £50m for him. He's been good. But I think we caught some form, lucky. Based on his last four or five years.

I would expect him to get injured a lot next season, and this summer would be the best value time to cash in. No disrespect, just max the value and sell to West Ham or Spurs, whoever doesn't go down.

50 million? I'd take 15.
