2018/19 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

DCL has improved as a player immensely with his in your face football but we are losing perspective. It is blatantly obvious for Everton to challenge we need someone who knows where the net is along with the in your face football or 7th,8th beckons again. If we only get 7th or 8th will that convince the better players to hang around. I like DCL but he is not a natural and it would be suicide to have him as our main striker.

Do Richarlison & Sigurdsson both not know were "the net is"?

I can

Last season, Dom averaged a goal every 247 minutes, thats a goal every 2.7 games

Lets say he IS our starting striker next season and starts 35 games(take 5/6 away for a rest or injury, could be more with cup runs)
Lets say he averages maybe 75 minutes every one of those 35 games.
Thats 2625 minutes of football he could get next season
2625 devided by the 247 = 10.6 goals

And thats without him improving on his average goals per minute from last season (he may also get a chance on penaltys with sigurdssons poor record)

Let's say if your auntie had balls......etc etc.

So what you're saying is you want to sacrifice goals and league position so DCL can develop?:

Why? Nobody has said the thing you're accusing people of saying

Not in those exact words, the general consensus is to keep playing him because he will develop despite a low goal output.

Lets not!
I've used stats there and given a goals per game ratio.

You look at someone like Firmino and what he does for Liverpool, he has an average of a goal every 2.3 games
Dom last season had a goal every 2.7 games, why cant he improve on that?

Because he is not good enough.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

I will say in Calorie-Loser's defence he has shown significant amount more improvement, appetite and professionalism than Tom Davies.

Non of the dress sense though @orly.

A bit of perspective please.

This a natural stage of the grief process @COYBL25.

Just remember the good times you spent together.

He could. But comparing him to Firmino doesnt really work because Firmino does a lot of build up and creative stuff that DCL doesn't. Dom is more or less a pure striker so to be effective he needs to be in the neighborhood of a goal every 180 to 200 minutes. For me the thing that he needs to get better at is his position when getting the ball and shooting. If he can get more big time chances he could really take a step up.

Moreso than DCL but they are not strikers as such as they are more providers and scorers and not as prolific as what a striker should give.
