2017/18 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[barneygumble]

Not at all Barney. I think he's a fantastic prospect and a potential leader of the line for many years.

Ah, but what you’re also forgetting is you said we need to play to his strengths...

We’re Everton. We don’t do that.

We isolate forwards on their own and play three defensive midfielders versus bottom of the league.

 

[DavidBooth]

Deceptively strong. Certainly has decieved me.
The goal in the World Cup final was no great finish either.

THIS is no great finish:



You're a hard man to please Macca!

That young lad plays for us and we are lucky he does so.

Barney I know and share your frustration at such stupidity.

But we have the right players - just the wrong manager, again!

Players like Davies, Kenny and DCL are youngsters thrown into a struggling team and are being blamed because they are not able to raise the team.
You would need a young player of the calibre that Rooney had at that age to have any hope of doing that.
Lookman is gaining cult status on here because he hasn't been in the team, luckily for him, he would not have been able to carry the team any better and would then be slaughtered on places like this.

Makes hard work of that.

 

[DavidBooth]

Bloody hell Sagey: wins the header, first to the knock down, sidesteps a defender, great shot saved by the keeper and first to the rebound to steer it in - what the hell do you want from a young lad, in a final, from the edge of the area with two defenders in attendance and the best keeper in the tournament to beat?

All it shows is he's not a natural finisher

Er, but by definition, he 'finished'...

And won three challenges en-route.

The epitome of intelligent, adaptive, determined, astute goalscoring, surely.

Or does every 'finisher' have to volley it from the halfway line, back to goal, while being held around the neck by two defenders?

Poor volley straight at the keeper and then tries his best to miss a simple tap in. Very lucky that keeper made a hash of the saves

I give in. He's a useless tw*t isn't he? Let's get rid. Who needs World Cup winning goal scorers with another 10 years in front of them eh? Not us, obviously.

No point in arguing here; @sageyefc hates DCL more than he hates Baines.

If we can find a buyer, sure

 

[thirdmantackle]

I'd prefer to see us losing with him in the team, and a few more home grown players

You are in luck, we’ve lost with him in the team loads.

 

[DavidBooth]

He and two dozen others Macca. Our demise is not Calvert-Lewin's fault. Indeed, he is one of the few who seems to care and makes an effort - even when played as ridiculously out-of-position as Martina!
