2018/19 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[ijjysmith]

Did anybody actually want him to be first choice???????

Not a single person

 

[billyblue80]

Will be surprised if he gets ten goals this season.

Not a single person

Except mikey I think but that's just mikey being mikey

 

[sageyefc]

Has all the attributes to be a top class striker... Except control and touch, and instinct, and awareness, and link up play , and he cant finish and doesn't have a finishers instinct.

Some bad turds posting here. He’s a kid who, through no fault of his own, has found himself somehow our first choice striker.

Bet Kean can’t to arrive and get boo’d after 2 games without a goal.

Mate when does he stop being a kid as you say, as a footballer his goal is to be 1st choice but he is not good enough nowhere near it in fact.

So would i mate. He has only scored 11 goals in 3 years/78 appearances in the premier league and he has been even more gozzy than his normal standard of gozziness this pre-season.

 

[hktoffee]

Surely he won’t get the no.9 shirt.

To be fair we have been patient with him for 2 seasons now and have willed him on. Good attributes but think we all see that he is far from being an OK striker.

 

[ProZ]

He’s a nice lad but so is Terry from number 42 a few doors down.

 

[blue4eva77]

This one was chalked up a long time ago. ' Just not good enough '

 

[Toffeeslam]

He simply cannot finish very well, got nothing against the kid personally and will support him while he wears an Everton shirt.

But if the club are to move forward we need someone else up top who can score.

Being a nice kid just won’t cut it

 

[Hawhaw]

Older than Richarlison

 

[Wat Tyler]

Any optimism I’ve got is tempered by the thought of when we need a goal from the bench, Dcl Is seen as our beat option. He is so bad, it’s beyond parody now.

 

[wainy]

Not his fault no but don't expect us to be happy he's starting for us when he's clearly not up to the standard we need. It's frustration with the club for taking two years to sort a Lukaku replacement out.

Watching him plod about for two seasons has done this to us. He's just a proper Hibbert try-hard with not enough quality.

I watch him every week, you’re right he’s not good enough but am certainly not gonna slag him when he’s giving 110% for the shirt every game either.

Mate when does he stop being a kid as you say, as a footballer his goal is to be 1st choice but he is not good enough nowhere near it in fact.

Again, not his fault and not fair to criticise the lad. He was 1.5m punt, only the appalling transfer policy of this club when it comes to strikers has lead us to this point. I’m sure he realises he needs to improve as well.

That’s fair comment, we all see that I think, but the lad gives his all and for that I applaud him. Hopefully by the end of the window we will have a new striker and Calvert-Lewin can try to improve without the pressure of being our number 9.

Not being good at football is absolutely a fair thing to criticize him for given that he is a football player.

I'm not going to judge him on his ability at snooker.
