Bloody good header that.

Level on league goals for us with Andy Johnson and big Vic

The people in this thread at halftime certainly do

Ok mate, don't let me stop your superior patronising tone

If a striker misses a couple of headers and you come in here at halftime talking about how crap he is, you are an idiot. Sorry if that hurts anyone.

All of which I thought he was poor at today, tbf he’s usually good at the donkey work and he’s getting more goals than usual but he still lack the skill, technique and intelligence to be the level of striker we need

I really like him and his “no goal scoring work” is excellent
He really does need to work on his shooting though, he’s got ossie levels of power

I see a similar style to Duncan Ferguson. For me it seems his strength is heading, although he needs 2 or 3 chances to get it right. He certainly has a penchant for spectacular headers. He also, we now know, is good at getting free kicks, using his pace and strength to help his colleagues.

However goals on the ground are sparse. He ain't that type of player. He deffo needs a poacher next to him who can play it skilfully on the floor. Would love to see him and Moise create a partnership.

He is improving to the point of being a decent Premier League forward now.

 

[maccavennie]

It was an absolute belter of a header. Worthy of winning any match.

Well In DCL

 

[Catfish Blues]

For the benefit of anyone who's ever called him Bambi ...

DCL scored and Everton won.
That is all.

Equal top scorer with Richarlison now for the season, goals to minute ratio is looking pretty good as well, better than 1 in 2.

Put his head where it possibly gets hurt today. First time for everything I suppose. Great finish, though.

Also well on track to get to double figures in the league, not bad at 22. Worth remembering big Dunc only got into double figures twice in the league for everton!

 

[Real_madras]

Have to say 8 goals for isn't a bad return for this stage in the season. Fully expect him to get in double figures and hopefully 15 + goals.

Well it's kind of relevant in discussing the players performance at said time.

Anyway great header to win the game or is it idiotic to comment on that too

 

[TheBigIguana]

He will pop up with the odd goal but he really looks unnatural in basically every aspect of the game

Ever since Lukaku went we have been massively lacking goals, it’s been a long time. I hope Ancelotti has a short list of strikers for January.

I see him as holding us back, Sigs is another one. When them 2 play we rarely win.

To me this is too much for the middle of the game because he missed a couple of headers. Especially when he's been genuinely good for most of this year. And going back to the original post it seems to stem from this belief that every shot should go in and that just isn't how it works.
