2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Gents, accept that he's not scoring again this season and will most likely notch 5 more by 2026 and you'll be much much happier.

Look at the Covid season, unplayable. He just needs to be surrounded with world class talent.

Maybe a proper good CF had scored even more than DCL did surrounded with such talent? IMO DCL struggles now because the squad we have now is not strong enough to carry a below average quality CF.

Why is it that we have no interest from the top teams for him? When we have quality players breaking through at Everton, we usually dont get to keep them very long. Stones, Lukaku, Barkley, Arteta, Pienaar, Baines, Lescott, Branthwaite soon, all attracted huge interest and big money bids from elite clubs. Why is that not the case with DCL?

Scoring/creating goals and not missing good chances every week would be a start.

Again, no one expects him to be smashing 20 goals in a season, but any decent Premier league striker should be getting 9/10 goals minimum. He'll end up on about 5 or 6. That is a terrible output.

V Palace, overall he delivered an impressive performance, dominating a very impressive 17 aerial duels during the match. He displayed a clear determination to drive Everton forward, yet his efforts were frequently hindered by insufficient support from the midfield. He missed a couple of chances as did others but that is a team wide problem at present - outside of this thread.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have expected him to score more than Newcastle centre back Fabian Schar at this stage of the season if I’m being totally honest.

Nar mate he didn't, he won a few Headers and that's it.

Excuses this feller gets is on a whole new level to what I've ever seen

i can just hear Neal Maupay telling him during training "look mate here is how you perfect not scoring and constantly miss the target"

James Garner replies to the GOT bedwetters.

Nice of them to wheel out the weekly quote about spreading goals around because Dom's forgotten what the goal looks like.

Who's doing it next week? Tarkowski did it the week before so he's clear.

Schar gets service and doesn't have crap players surrounding him like our top notch striker does.

Maybe if dom wears rugby studs like he does heels when not playing he might get some more towering header goala

 

[Efcjake]

I suppose that depends on your view of what he should be doing. As I say, my view is that he's not a fox in the box, and that he should be doing what he has always done: holding the ball, linking play, and winning aerial duels. To be fair to the lad, he is generally doing that very well.

It seems the issue apparent in this thread is that some have decided he should be doing things outside of his normal game, the things he has always done for us

Might as well stick Michael Keane up top then if we're not bothered about the strikers chipping in with a goal.

 

[varnish]

Our whole squad is complete gash. Domestos not putting his chances away is just one of our problems.

Come on Mods. This has to be a lifetime ban. Let's nip this in the bud

Nar mate, he played how Dyche has set him up to play.

Dyche needs to change things as its currently not working, and that is not down to any one player.

Amazing how Dom twists the minds of some in here.

Scoring goals is apparently extra curricular and “outside of his normal game” (he’s a centre forward)

It’s now considered unreasonable to expect a centre forward to chip in with goals and it’s the responsibility of his team mates instead. His job is to stand up front and flick long balls on to no one. Not bad for multiple tens of thousands of pounds per week if you can get it.

Yer man, deffo this.

"Dom I want you do absolutely nothing every game, miss every chance you get, never mind how easy, don't create anything, don't work defenders, just stand still and win some headers"
