Never thought I would say this but DCL is starting to win me over. There is a footballer in there. That run against the centerbacks which ended in a shot at goal was a great individual performance. He's also starting to pop up in the right places at right times. Little bit of luck and he would have been on the score sheet today.
 
I agree mate - but DCL's strengths are everything but goalscoring

That isnt good when our entire attack line are not prolific - Bernard, Walcott, DCL, Richarlison.

We cant keep relying on a striker/winger hybrid in Richarlison for goals.

Ancelotti either signs our own Mane and Salah or he has to replace DCL with a goal scoring CF as we need more than 1 player being a threat at goal.
DCL looks transformed as a player since he has had the benefit of a second striker with him, maybe we should chase another striker to play with him and not instead of him. It looks like Kean may take a bit of time to settle so maybe use Brands knowledge of the South American leagues to get someone 24-27yo in the summer.

Kean was the right signing at the wrong time.

You can't have 2-3 young forwards who are not prolific and expect them to do the business.

We should have signed a proven goal scorer in their prime for DCL to learn from.

Ibrahimovic on a 12-18 month deal on a free would have for me made alot of sense.
 

Great everywhere but in the box.

Two golden chances, one where Bernard has mugged his defender off with his wonderful touch and DCL only needs to put it ANYWHERE but at the keeper and its a goal, 4 yards out. Hell if he scuffs it he still scores...

The 1v1.... The keeper stayed on the line, could have gone further in, should be burying that.

Apart from that though, his general play, his attitude, his bullying and giving defenders a nightmare has improved dramatically. Real effort for the team.

He's an Evertonians wet dream - hustle and bustle and plucky.

Evertonians scoff at anyone who actually scores goals like Lukaku who would have bagged a brace today. Richarlison is another who gets abuse despite being our only real goal threat.
 
He doesn't need to score that many.... just like Firminho doesn't..... like Di Canio didn't, like GudJonssen, Dugarry, Bergkamp, giroud....all pretty much front men whose input wasn't measured on goals scored.

Some may have been assist kings, some clever players who made space for others, DCL brings his own attributes which the most successful manager in Europe rates more important than a £20m prodigy in Kean
I see firminho scored mate
