2018/19 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Death]

Hope Kean pushes him and maybe have a partnership with him. Unlikely. But I hope. Otherwise it's curtains.

 

[Gilbert..]

Worst Everton number 9 i have seen. James beattie. Now there was an embarrassment. Even though he wore 8 he was the main centre forward 9 role.

 

[Toffeelover]

Dixie Dean, Tommy Lawton, Dave Hickson, Joe Royle, Bob Latchford, Graeme Sharp, Duncan Ferguson, Dominic Calvert Lewin, Er what? pmsl.

Cringe worthy giving him the number 9 shirt tbh. Has done nothing to earn it, well apart from 11 goals in 3 years. But he puts a lot of effort in bless him.

Anyway its only a shirt number so who really cares but if i was him i think i would have requested another because it is just asking for ridicule especially when he is already boasting about it and is probably going to spend most of this season as back up to a proper striker who can score goals.

What about Alex?

What about Alex?

Yep, Alex Young. Plenty of others, too many to name really.

This has really put a dampener on all the signings

Grown men bothered about the number on the back of a player’s shirt? Surely not

Of course they are it’s history. Some football traditions should still remain and this is one of them.

Big season, he must recognise this, lets hope he gets plenty of chances, his work rate is good, his effort is unquestionable, but lets be honest , he doesn't net enough. I wonder who is coaching him in forward play ?.

 

[SteStocksDJ]

The amount of grief he is getting on his Instagram post is horrible.

He’s a young lad who’s been forced into leading the line for two years whilst the club was an absolute state.

Brands and silva wouldn’t give him the number9 shirt if they didn’t rate him

Should be running the channels at QPR

Sandro, Arouna Kone and Landon Donovan are our last three number 9s, I think the tradition’s been tarnished somewhat.

Instead of pointless moaning that achieves absolutely nothing our fans could perhaps support the lad and get behind him. Although that seems to be a big problem for some.

 

[Nymzee]

Coleman never took number 2.

Our new boss centre mid skipped taking 8.

Numbers mean nothing now.

 

[Pabbers]

When he clicks into gear, and develops his game....the cry arse babies on here who wont support him should not be allowed to celebrate his goals.

 

[Milkman]

Weird the bad feelings that some have for a promising young forward who plays for the club they apparently support.

 

[Furey1878]

Big fan of him getting the #9

It's a big show of faith from Silva and I hope he repays it. Even if he doesn't bag goals the last few months of the season proved that the team benefits from DCL playing upfront.
