Don't care if he posts a pic of him after scoring or a pic of him pissing on me nan still think he's a mature and self-aware footballer for coming out and admitting he should have scored more. Not many strikers do that.

Weird that our 2 strikers DCL and Richarlison continue to score regularly but our defence can't keep a clean sheet,
So when we don't win it's the fault of DCL for not scoring 4 goals.
I think he'll get better. Glad hes disappointed he only got one yesterday too. Thats what we need.
You dont have to be Aguero to be a predator and have the smell og goals in your nostrils. This lad laughs when he misses sitters. That's the wrong attitude. I want our forwards to be killers.

I have to admit I was saying that he wasn't a Premier League striker this time last year but he has proven me completely wrong. He is certainly good enough for us and has the potential to become better in the future. For some people though, whether it is to save face over their earlier comments or some delusion over having a Shearer-like striker instead, he will never be good enough. I'm sure if you go on the fans forums of other teams you will see similar things but the vitriol that some people have for our own players, including those that are performing well is utterly bizarre.According to some at this time last year DCL was just not a Premiership standard striker and should not be in the team.
This year, he is a Premiership standard player but not good enough for Everton, scoring 12 Premiership goals apparently is not enough.
If he improves further next season, what will the argument against him be then ?
DCL has to play in a front two and Richarlison creates masses of space for him. DCL definitely needs Richarlison but I don't believe Richarlison needs DCL. That's not taking anything away from DCL, he's playing very well for the most part, but he can only play in one position and is far, far more effective with a partner whereas Richarlison can play in numerous positions and, although he clearly has a good thing going with DCL currently, he doesn't need a partner to do what he does.I think that the sum of DCL and Richarlison playing together is greater than the total of their individual parts
