2018/19 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Nymzee]

Ran himself into the ground and I was howling for him to be subbed 20 minutes before the end. If he could add goal scoring to his repertoire we would have a top player.

Who were you bringing on for him with 20 mins to go out of curiosity?

 

[maccavennie]

Hate to say it macca,but since that derby game when he was up against dik van dijk he has come on leaps and bounds and taken a lot of confidence from his performance that day.

Yep he's done everything we could ask of him since Cardiff away and with a little more composure he would have had a few more goals. I was happy to hear that he was critical of himself in this regard before the game as that's been my main gripe with him as in I had the feeling he sometimes avoided getting into positions to score for fear if missing the chance. I call this the Niasse effect

 

[Brennan]

Strikers are there to score ultimately. Thats what they're employed to do.

Sounds harsh, but in a decent Everton team he'll be on the bench waiting to come on and chase down balls when we're defending a lead.

That's where we have to be as a club.

Yup..

 

[Joey66]

That is the thing Joey....players have to be in the position to have a chance many a time. I am sure DCL will carry on progressing to enable himself to be in the right places at the right time.

It's a bit hard when he's doing all the work as a solo striker.
The thing is though since he has been played at no 9 he and the team looks so balanced!

We need a striker summer and then he can learn more also

Good interview with him on motd2. Such a likeable guy with a great attitude, why would you want him to not succeed for us?

Our last one was conference standard and was not cheap.......

 

[FTY]

Love the confidence

Hope he adds goals cus he seems the perfect Silva/Everton striker in everything else he does

 

[davek]

He's a trier. You cant knock that.

Just going to post the same thing.
He really does come across well in interviews. He's playing great lately and I hope he goes on to be a huge star for us,

He's a bit more than that - think of Sharpy at that age......

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Excellent interview. So humble and down to earth.

Doing brilliantly

 

[FTY]

He'd be great in a strike partnership, whoever he was up top with would score 20 goals+. Shame front 2s are defunct

 

[davek]

Sharp was mobile like DCL, but he was much more of a predator than him.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

He's improved about 300% this season and it's a pleasure to watch him flourish as our current first choice striker in a winning side. He's got his head screwed on and if he keeps working hard he'll almost certainly be given a new contract to reward his work and get him to pledge his future to us.
