....sure I saw him clearing Arsenal corners with towering headers at the near post but it must’ve been somebody else.

Ok fair enough he should win young player of the season because he's a striker who clears the ball in our own box.

Ruben Dias, saka, rashford, tielmans, foden, have all had better seasons and will be miles ahead in the picking.

DCL hasn't played well in months.
 

I honestly don't see how you can say that having watched us in recent months. Seems like just a case of overly defending someone because you like them.

...no, I absolutely agree his form has fallen off but I totally disagree with throwaway phrases like ‘hasn’t turned up for 4 months’ because as far as I can see he still makes a contribution to the team effort. Even first half hour at Arsenal, he did well relieving pressure by holding the ball up (the commentator mentioning how well he did).

He’s had a terrific season, where he’s progressed to another level, a definite inclusion in England squads and back-up to Harry Kane. He can come short, he can run defenders in behind, he wins most aerial duals.

In recent weeks TV pundits have said he’d be ‘perfect for Chelsea’ or ‘ideal for United’, he’s arguably Everton’s most valuable asset.
 

Part of the issue with DCL's 'form' is partly injuries but largely our inability to create many chances each game. That and he's simply not that great when it comes to having time to think about the finish. Mainly a one touch finisher from close range type of Striker. We look a much better team with him in it rather than out though. Remains to be seen if he can improve his longer range finishing (6 yards to 18 yards).
