I bet DCL can't believe it he's playing in our first team, he seems to have been around for ages now and I've never thought he was much good, but that really goes to show the state of our striker options.

Pretty similar to the West Ham game, the guy just craps himself when he's got time to think in the opposition box. His all round isn't terrible, but his confidence in front of goal is just woeful. That one early doors today was useless, he didn't even shoot or try and square, he just totally bottled it. He also somehow missed a chance from about 5 yards out on the slide although he was offside.
He has a massive confidence crisis in front of goal, not a helpful trait for a striker.

...…...and we didn't score.
Scoring goals isn't the only parameter used to assess a performance. If it was then we would've played better against West Ham which we know isn't the case.
Post when he scores in the Prem ......
Unfortunately the lad is just not Premier League level yet, and may never be.
It's not his fault he's starting games for a supposedly good Premier League club - what do you expect him to do, say no?
He should be developing out on loan clearly. It's another symptom of our failed transfer policy under Walsh - I can't blame Brands/Silva for not bringing a striker in as it's a position where you pay for quality and we don't have infinite money; we signed Richarlison instead, which in the long term is the right decision.
The fact he's starting games is the sign that this season is and always was going to be a write off. The key is that we have a plan in place to make sure we're better equipped for future seasons.

Assists and scoring goals is the parameter to judge a striker on, it's not as if he held the ball up that well either.
Glad you agree. Which means he's done better than Tosun and Niasse this season.
I don't mind Dom, in general...he's got plenty to work with but that was also said of Rodwell. He's at a stage where we either need to persist with him and deal with the lack of experience or let him go on loan where he's guaranteed to start. Either way, he needs to be playing every week.
I imagine him sitting at home, leafing through his " Bumper Book of Famous Sayings and Quotes " lol
Remember Stuart Barlow.

Doesn't he already have the same number of total league goals across his everton career?

Tosun gets a couple today if he'd had the chances and service DCL got.
