Heck, let's just give him the two goals tonight. Fingers crossed he can repeat this at the weekend.

You're right I was delighted he finally managed to get a goal. Arent you each time we score a goal? Unfortunately he couldnt get one or two more to really kill the game for us. Still have major concerns about him being of the required quality to get 15-20 goals and fire us up the table. One...

To some degree this is true, especially for poor strikers. Quality strikers doesnt rely on their teammates to put it on a plate for them in the same way, they create situations out of nothing. Hence their high demand and price-tag. We could do with improving both "the service" and our CF tbh.

Poor team but its not much different whoever he picks. We have no first team. Our entire squad is made up of squad-players. Can see Isak and Barnes tearing us a new one tonight.

2:48 Dom being picked off by defenders even in training. His hold up play is amazing though.

Neither can Dom. His poor first touch and lack of upper body strength/understanding of how to lean into the defender lets him down time after time. I keep reading his hold up play is a strong-point. I strongly disagree. Beto may not be much better, but by scoring a goal he has earned the right...

This. We were doomed the moment we decided to go for DCL as our main CF and not replace Lukaku. Instead we invested our money in every other position in the team. To do this and at the same time expect to challenge the top teams was madness. Back then our team was strong enough in other...

Well guess we can put to bed the "he gets no service" excuse now. As some have pointed out a few times, our team looks more dangerous when Beto plays.

It seems Dyche has finally had it with DCL. Hopefully Beto can bag a few or set something up for our wingers. Need a performance from the team today.

Its not like the CF has no influence at all in the team creating chances though. Many of our attacks break down from DCL cant hold up/control the ball or chooses the wrong option for a pass. For example against Brighton we had a potentially great chance on a counter attack. But it fizzled out...

We really need to get back to putting the ball on the goalline for him just to tap it home. How dare we expect him to create something for himself out of nothing or rob a defender just once during a run of 21 matches? We look more dangerous as a team when Beto plays. Time to stop DCL auto-pick.

Maybe a proper good CF had scored even more than DCL did surrounded with such talent? IMO DCL struggles now because the squad we have now is not strong enough to carry a below average quality CF. Why is it that we have no interest from the top teams for him? When we have quality players...

I think its uncontroversial to say a taller keeper usually has a better reach mate. Boss reflexes and in one one one situations though, so pros and cons. I'm from Norway. Started supporting Everton as a young kid after watching them in a match agains Spurs on tv in the late 80s.

Pickfords no Gigi Buffon but I do think he gives us more than hes costing us. Especially last couple of seasons he has improved. This team sure has its weaknesses higher up the pitch

DCL fanboys desperately trying to shift focus from DCL being cr*p over on our wingers. Fact is our wingers almost never recieves the ball in favourable positions where they can do damage. Watch yesterdays match and notice how many counterattacks break down because DCL cant hold the ball or plays...
