2020/21 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Maybe you need to be less arrogant in interpreting "what you see" as being accurate in what makes a player good or bad. You clearly dont have a clue about the game you don't need to.. just recognise this and stop turning the insecurities about this lack of knowledge into an obsession which comes out as a long consistent attack on a player who has remained committed, hard working, respectful and has shown progression despite your obnoxious refutal and Bambi insults....

It seems a couple of people had DCL right all along and I see the likes of you and @orly may be struggling the level of vaulting you've had to endure.

Is that you Pedro??????

As supporters of the club - there are fans who need to really look at what type of "faults" a player has that makes them a target for ridiculous and unnecessary comments.

Most recently it's been Tom Davies.... The lad who never hid once whilst the likes of gylfi and Morgan played a game of hide and seek.... He put his head above the parapet and took the shots whilst Gylfi who has decided to show an interest now ... Hid.

If a player isn't good enough then they shouldn't play, that's fair enough. But a player who isn't good enough but shows bottle should not be playing because better players can't be bothered or are scared.

I'm glad Ancellotti has seen this and the likes of Davies will get nurtured again whilst DCL continues to grow after his spell of boo boy insults.

Except 90% of games he plays in

You sound like Scrooge fearing the return of Jacob Marley .... Who's Pedro? Someone who knows his stuff or was that DCLs relative???

 

[HTCHERO]

Can't imagine he'd want to play for that useless fat pancake eating [Poor language removed]

That you Tom?

He never hides, do I think he gets into games all the time? No. That hasn't been down to him hiding. There's a difference.

He will cover the passes, close down a man, throw in a tackle and he will show for a pass.

I don't think he's good enough for where we are and where we are going but I'm not going to unfairly base it on attitude. His attitude has been spot on even though it's not enough to carry his lack of athleticism to carry the £100k a week internationals who were in the process of taking us down.

It's time fans look at the players who are making an insult of the fans and their own talents by giving 50%. We had a lazy selfish striker getting given songs cos he scored a few goals against West ham and stuff.... Albeit we got a few Bob for him to go elsewhere to struggle in big games.

Time to appreciate the players who go about things the right way as they are the ones who will help change our unprofessional culture which is happening now under Carlo.

Ooh is Tom another smart poster? Maybe he was a relative of Dom. Lots of guilty sounding people on here

Bullying is bad lads, remember that.

 

[kev]

That you poster formerly known as @........?

Fixed

 

[joebocop]

Why is it always extremes? He's scored 19 league goals in 40 starts (with 6 sub apps.) since the start of last season.

Yeah that's a decent return. I'm impressed with him but he's not the finished article yet but with each performance he looks more and more like he could be.

I think the thing I don't like is the smugness of those coming out saying they always knew he would be a top player. It's been years in the making for DCL to get to this level, and his performances were for the most part not that good, so of course there are gonna be people saying that.

To also have people throwing the term bullying around as if they've never thought or said that a player isn't good enough, is just laughable in my opinion.

 

[PeregrineT]

If a player has an evidential desire to work hard, to show an ability to improve, to show an ability to apply this on the pitch, to have elite level athletic ability. ..... They are going to make it as a good player.

Unfortunately too many people who cast strong opinions of players are mainly 1. Negative about them. 2. Inaccurate. 3. Reluctant to accept they were wrong when they first see the signs that the player is in fact very good.


Show me ravell Morrison with his talent ... I'll show you Jordan Henderson with less talent.

One player made the fans who know nothing about football look stupid for building him up as the next big thing and he failed. The other player made Liverpool fans look stupid for wanting a fancy Dan midfielder when Henderson has been proven to be the key to their success.

Attitude and application carries alot of weight.....

Lukaku who?

Yeah, Ive been convinced for a long time that the true determining factor of success in sport is hard work and determination. Because that is an intangible that you cant see unless you really know a player personally, that makes it hard for fans to predict a players success. A player who is determined can fail his first month in a new league, but be dominant later.

All players in all sports at the top level have great talent. Its true, some have an extra level of that talent. But whether they turn out good or not is more and more obvious about their ability to take the knocks and get back up, reapply themselves, work the extra hours, and be determined to succeed versus deciding its too hard and giving up.

Every top talent at Everton right now had to work through those hard times and drive forward to get to where they are. Holgate did it. DCL did it. Richarlison did it. Digne did it. Richarlison did it. Keane did it. Gomes did it. James did it. Every single one was a player we either picked up when they were down or out of favor, or we stuck with when they were poor. Talent decides if you arrive in the big leagues. Hard work and determination decide if you stay there.

Are we on about Lukaku here Pedro?

Koff you big ginger moon head

Once messi goes next year pretty sure we'll have a better team and manager. Oh how the tables have turned Mr Koeman. You were here wishing you were there and soon you'll be there wishing you were here.

 

[Joey66]

His dad credited Koeman as being instrumental in his career. Like Bambi's mother.

Mr two mirrors you have the cheek to moderate other posters Pius one of DCLs biggest critics...... opinion is about opinions I get that ...at least @ForeverBlue92 has the decency to admit he got DCL wrong .....
