Oh hello what's going on here? Surely we are not nitpicking and criticising everything about one of our young players? What's wrong with him now? He scored? It was a slight deflection? He fluked his run to drift into space and a first time finish off target? He was just giving Richarlison a rest?

We better give him time and patience, and 18 - 24 months in a settled squad, and then start judging, please. If he scores 10 goals this season in the PL it'll be great.
 
His first half performance nearly tipped me over the edge today.
To be fair that first 30 mins was the worst opening half hour I’ve seen Everton play in the entire season so far
If you exclude gravylords time here that opening half hour was the worst I’ve seen in a few seasons
Not one player deserved to wear the shirt in that opening period
 

For someone who several on here accuse of not being a natural finisher, that was a lovely finish.

*deflected finish

That being said revered Lukaku and he was pretty hopeless at nigh on everything except scoring the goals. So if Calvert-Bambi gets up to 1 in 2 in his everton career at some point I will cut him some slack
 

His haters can shut up for another week, vault me he is better than 1 goal a season solanke.
I think some posters almost resent it when he scores. Why wouldn't you want a young Everton player to play well or improve?

The chances are he will not make it at Everton as our first choice striker. He certainly has a lot of improvement to make if he is to do so. But at the moment he is perfectly adequate as 3rd choice behind a new first choice striker and Richarlison. DCL isn't our problem. Tosun is. He just isn't good enough as first choice which is why DCL has been starting so many.

For me, the problem we have with DCL is that he can't stay in the back up role indefinitely, as we'll need that position in the squad to nurture the next young striker we buy in or comes through the academy. By the end of next season he'll be 23 and a decision will need to be made to keep or sell. I definitely see a career for him in the premier though, maybe just not with us. All this league 1 stuff is just nonsense.
