2019/20 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Sverre Takleifbotten]

Did somebody honestly compare Richarlison’s performances to DLCs?! Absolute madness if you can’t see the gulf in class between the 2.

DCL last week reverted back to the striker we’ve had since he joined us, which proves that last month was a purple patch. I’d say he’s just good enough to be one of 2 back up strikers when we sign someone who can finish. I’d sell him now if I was Brands, as he’s probably the most expensive as he’s ever going to be with the extra press he had recently.

Well, I think Rich is overrated, but at the same time difficult to say when the team is performing so poorly. His best dribble is a tackle, and he has no great top speed. However, he works hard and scores some goals. So I don't want to write him off, but he has not performed any better than DCL this season.

Poor player? That is your subjective opinion, and I disagree. I see a lot of potential and he is starting to realize it. His goal ratio is better than Kane, and strangely enough, Kane plays on a team that also struggles. He is also highly rated by experts, and not least by Ancelotti. I'd rather say, if DCL played on a better team then he would have scored far more goals. That is my subjective opinion.

Let me rephrase from something that is subjective to something that isn't, then. DCL is nowhere near the quality of the strikers of the sides looking to finish in the top 6. He is poor compared to the first choice strikers currently starting for those teams. That is not up for debate. He's not even up to the standard of a Martial or a Rashford. He is therefore a very eligible candidate for replacement.

I don't believe for a second that Ancelotti rates DCL as highly as the strikers currently playing for the teams in the top 7 of the PL right now. You can tell me he does, but you'd be speculating. What we know for sure is that Ancelotti was wise to look to boost the confidence of his first choice striker when he said what he did. Managers do this all the time. It's part of the job and it doesn't mean much, to put it mildly.

 

[Khalekan]

you are actually insane

You're mentioning Shearer bigging up DCL as proof we are all clueless about him, despite the fact he is just referring to one game

ONE GAME

Carlo Ancelotti did not want DCL at Napoli, I doubt he'd ever even heard of him

tell you what mr super blue international footy player, we will see who's right or wrong in a years time when DCL is pulling his shorts up for a championship team

lunatic

It is still possible that he could be doing that whilst still an Everton player

Please explain.

A really bad finisher doesn't hit the target - e.g. Schneiderlin.

Difficult to compare DCL and Richarlison, they play the game so differently. Richarlison is pretty mobile and helps a lot with our pressing. DCL has been much more of a target man recently but is getting about the box more which is good.

 

[Sverre Takleifbotten]

Please explain.

Usually when the team you are playing is struggling, you score fewer goals. There are of course some exceptions.

CS:

"He was a player we followed as a young striker, he was one of the players we followed but there was no possibility (to sign him). There are a lot of people who have eyes on him."

Maybe I am speculating, but it is more firm than asserting the opposite.

Yes, he is, at least if you look at the goal ratio. Put him together with James and Rashford and he will score far more goals. Manu's problem is that they have no one in the box to play, and here Calvert-Lewin fits perfectly. Don't be surprised if they bid for him this summer if he continues the progression.

I meant about him having a better goal ratio than Harry Kane.

I know that people can be very creative in their interpretations of stats, but I'm not sure how this one is going to work.

 

[Toffeelover]

Just not the right support selected around him.

This season, in PL:

Goals per. 90 min:

Goals/min.played * 90

DCL = 0,59

Kane = 0,56

Penalty, not included:

DCL = 0,59

Kane = 0,45

 

[Joey66]

No I do t think he missed on purpose, or the one he hit at the keeper or the on he hit wide with no pace on it. He’s just a very bad finisher

Unlike Holgate who missed a point blank header from 3 yards -FGS this lads been scoring lately our midfield disintegrated in the 2nd half so lets blame DCL ...... get off the bandwagon Richarlison a big money signing never broke sweat yesterday.....

what a crock of poo

harry kane has scored 17 goals in 25 this season ( inc the champions leagues )

you can convert them games into minutes, seconds, half seconds for all I care but Kane has scored more goals than DCL

why are you even comparing them? kane is 10x the player DCL will ever be

I am open about the assumptions being made. It applies to PL, and the number of goals relative to the number of minutes played.

Oh, OK.

Here's a prediction:

Despite tearing his hamstring and being out until March, Kane will still end the season with more goals than Calvert-Lewin. In fact, Calvert-Lewin will never score 15 or more Premier League goals in his entire career.
