For some reason I really want this guy to succeed. (Same applies to our other players, but I am more supportive of the younger players like Davies, Kenny, Kean, Richarlison & co). DCL is likeable and works hard and I just wish he would score a few to get that pressure of his back, and to get some confidence. I really hope as fans we are more patient and forgiving than this especially to younger players, and give him some more time. And especially as we know nothing about attitude, training, work ethic, and their performance at Finch Farm - we can leave all that to Silva and if he wants to call out players by name in public it must be for motivation or to challenge them.
Not everyone matures and makes it at 18, 22, 23, even 25, and maybe he's just a late developer. It's ok! Maybe he's not a natural finisher but he might learn or he might be one of those Giroud types in the future who links play well. It's ok he'll come together! Or he won't but while he's in blue he's one of us!
We need more young players coming through our ranks and we need to be a club that doesn't only buy their way to success. We can't afford to do that and we can't afford to compete financially with other clubs yet. We know this lad is into social media , we know many players are, so we could also reduce the abuse and be more encouraing. It's not our job to decide on quality and skills - we have put faith in an excellent DoF and Manager, and so I think our job is to give unconditional support to players who are also working hard and doing their best for Everton - it's not gonna spoil them or make them play badly! If we just support our players without question, the manager and DoF can decide whether they're good enough!
