2017/18 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[trueblue84]

Simply not good enough (yet). Give him a chance and send him on loan for a season where he's out of the spotlight. Then if he doesn't produce, get rid.

Have to say Niasse would've found a way for that to deflect of his arse into the top corner. Some players have it, Calvert Lewin simply doesn't.

I thought his substitution changed the game, so I don't want to be too hard on the lad for missing that chance, but he couldn't have asked for a better opportunity to win it.

DCL had a good game when he came on. He's a bit skinny though. Needs some muscle.

 

[Paul E]

Better than Bolasie.
That’s not too difficult though

 

[banno]

That was a chance I expect a defender to put away never mind a so called striker. He cannot finish but he did well when he came on in a non striker type of way.

The lads going to be some player.
Still rough around the edges, get the right manager I'm and he'll be a top striker in a few years

Not being funny, but what about him suggests this? He’s very clearly a long way short of being a natural finisher.

Absolutely.

But eveyoeve will concentrate on the miss.

What the sitter at the end for our striker to win our first Derby in a decade? Rather than a couple of tackles on the touchline? Funny that.

 

[marcus]

The lad did well when he came on, we need to build his confidence up not destroy it...

 

[DanEFC92]

Played well when he came on. Could have made yourself a hero there, though.

 

[deipnosophist]

I think a lot of people are letting the fact that he couldn't score in a brothel conceal his qualities. He seems like a lovely lad. I imagine he's well mannered and courteous. Hopefully he'll remain in the nurturing Everton environment until retirement from playing, whenupon he might replace an aging Big Dunc as our strikers coach.

NSNO

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Absolutely.

But eveyoeve will concentrate on the miss.

True but you can't blame them it's because it was against them and the fact we haven't won a derby in years if it happened against Stoke nobody would be that bothered but that's the life of a striker you have to take the chance when it comes.

 

[Saint Domingo]

17 games and counting all because you’re another choking bottle job.

Can't hit a barn door this lad can he
