2018/19 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[sageyefc]

Back up at best, he's not good enough for what we should be aiming for, he's a middle of the road workhorse you'd see at a side at the bottom end of the table like a Burnley.


Then again both Burnley strikers have out scored him

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Yep, the game has changed d=since then. You need to be doing it immediately as cash is available to move you on quickly.

Which is really crap, BTW...having a youth player come through is one of the great things that separates the sport from pretty much any other.

You are a lukaku fanboy..... embarrassing. The lad had one foot out the door in all his time here and you pine for him like some acne riddled lovesick teenager constantly getting jibbed off by to some girl who isn't even that nice.

He's on the decline whilst a young lad in a blue shirt with less than 2000 minutes under his belt is the subject of your ridicule.

There is no point in comparing them... lukaku is one thing and that is a finisher against lesser teams. DCL is a better footballer and give a his teammates a better outlet.

You alarm me.

You alarm me.

Not half as much as some of the bed wetters on here alarm me.... love to slate an Everton player before he even gets going.

any player is available for criticism, come on m8.

Goalscoring cam be learned. Thierry Henry said so.... Jamie Vardy said he had to take time to learn how to make his efforts count again st better players. Harry Kane likewise.... practised shooting a lot.

I've enjoyed our arguements. But you are now becoming a little embarrassing

Ah it's Mr I.Q

And how long until this 'learning' starts showing? He's 22 and far, far off those you've named. Harry Kane was prolific at 21. Vardy was 27 when he got 20+ PL goals in a season, and Leicester signed him after he banged in 31 in one season in the national league, so he already showed he could score and just needed to adapt to better defenders.
Dom's highest tally is SIX. He has never looked capable of being a high goal scorer, in any league. Trust me, I'd love it if he was. But as an Everton fan I don't want to stew in mid-table mediocrity with a striker incapable of striking while we hold onto this belief that he will somehow 'learn' it.

We need a striker who can score. He isn't that.

Criticism is all and well used in the correct context....

A player like Pickford against Newcastle deserved his arse handing to him - immature, unprofessional and disrespectful honour club.

Lukaku in many of his walk around no shows and sulks, mirallas with his penno fiasco, and yeah if a player like schneiderlein can't hack it or show any willing to apply his talent properly then yeah....


But how often have our fans got their claws out for players without giving them a chance? Steven Naismith, Gueye, jags, osman, the list goes on.

Scoring against non league defenders and keepers to the premier league is not the same ... Thierry Henry was 22 when he learned how to score.

He may not become prolific but none of you experts don't know that. It still doesn't stop you saying it like it's a fact. Stick to your day jobs.... I'm sure the manager and coaches know if he's up to it or not..... unless you know more than them?

That is the crux of the argument, though. Can we really afford to wait and see if we want to be challeging for silverware?

People are giving DCL a chance though? He's our striker his holding up and bringing others may be excellent but if he's been given multiple chances to score and he's not taking them which in essence doesn't win us the game then he should be criticized, One of his job is to score goals.
No one wants to sell the lad.
People want to keep him and multiple have said he's come on leaps and bounds this season which he has.
People want another striker signed which is perfectly reasonable.

Howver, on the evidence I see I dont belive there's the raw material to advance the lad. He looks like a modern day attacker who is athletic but not much more. No guile. File away in the James Vaughan / Anichebe draw.

James Vaughan wouldn’t been incredible if injuries hadn’t done for him. He had everything. Pace, leap, aggression and he could finish. Such a shame as I was convinced he could’ve gone on to be England’s next great striker.
