2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[John from Bootle]

I don’t think he and Richarlison were particularly effective together to be honest, both were far more effective at getting on the end of things rather than ‘doing things with the ball’ and meant they often got in each other’s way. I think the other creative outlets in the side were the main reason for DCL’s purple patch.

I definitely agree with how badly we got worked out in that season though. Some of those games towards the end of that season when we were in such a strong position to reach the Champions League was up there with the biggest load tripe I’ve seen from an Everton team. Carlo probably had his bags packed long before that season ended.

Yeah, get what you mean. I've never particuarly rated Richy as an out and out striker or number 10 of sorts. He's a wide player for me. I just think having that foil opened up space for him at times that he just doesn't seem to get as much of when he plays on his own.

He could have been the next, err, Emile Heskey if he'd been born in another era. His all round game as a target man is good, but that's just not enough on it's own in this day and age.
