Dominic Calvert-Lewin delivered those words after Leeds came from behind to take a point off Brentford on Sunday. Before the last international break, he had only scored one goal for his new club Leeds United. The knives were out and plenty of Leeds supporters may have been fearing a repeat of the 28-year-old's final season for Everton, in which he scored just three goals in an injury-hit campaign.
"When you get a certain narrative around you and are tarred with a certain brush, it's quite hard to shake it."
Dominic Calvert-Lewin delivered those words after Leeds came from behind to take a point off Brentford on Sunday. Having been the player to score the equaliser he was able to reflect on how he has managed to change opinions.
Before the last international break, he had only scored one goal for his new club Leeds United.
The knives were out and plenty of Leeds supporters may have been fearing a repeat of the 28-year-old's final season for Everton, in which he scored just three goals in an injury-hit campaign.
But since the Premier League returned in mid-November the Englishman has been on a mission, netting four goals in five games, including strikes in each of his past four matches.
His latest goal was a perfectly timed header into the far corner to rescue a draw for Leeds at Brentford and take his side three points clear of the relegation zone.
