2021/22 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Lanolin]

How would you define 100%?

Because I can assure you, he isn't on the pitch only thinking 30% about football and 70% about modelling. (And if he is, then yes, he shouldn't be near the pitch)

It’s not as simple as that though.

Again, I’m not saying this is the case or that it’s how I see it, but I can see where people are coming from. Surely we’ve had all times in our lives where we’ve not been fully focused on something that maybe we should have been, whether it’s a job, a relationship, study, even a diet or something? You might not even realise it at the time but you look back and think yeah I probably didn’t give that the attention it needed.

DCL might be working like a Trojan behind the scenes and every loss might cut him deep but it’s not hard to see why people might think otherwise when they see his lacklustre performances and then see him talking about fashion and effectively pushing his brand. Only he will know whether there’s anything to it or not.

Absolutely no way he’s choosing Fashion over football, it’s just an easy excuse for people to make.
He can make more in one/two yeas at Football than he’ll ever make from fashion.

I already think he's made enough money through football to never work again.

It could be what floats his boat more rather than financial.

Richarlison would be fine with more movement. Although you're massively over rating him with the 10 years thing.
Calvert lewin isnt any better or any worse because he's english. It doesnt change his Everton performances. Unless Everton get wide players feeding calvert lewin then we'll have a pretty average striker who doesnt bring others in or open up teams. Id rather have a pacey willing runner who at least stretches teams.

We’ve had a tonne of different managers and coaches telling them loads of different things. Sold our best full back and now have hardly any overlapping runs which means we end up with the likes of Iwobi dribbling from one side of the pitch to the other.
This club is rotten at the top which has manifested itself to what you now see on the pitch.
Anyways I shall leave my everton forum career there for a bit and I’m off to call @peteblue a whopper in current affairs. Far less fierce there.

We could have Lewandowski up front and he’d still struggle to score with this lot.

Doesnt mean he cant offer himself more.
I watched jordan ayew drag arsenal defenders all out of position last night.

When we didn't give that attention it needed, we weren't earning £60k per week. DCL has zero excuse. On that sort of money he should be running himself into the ground every game.

People on here value him at up to £80 million yet don’t expect him to do anything other than bundle the ball in from a yard out occasionally.

 

[brieverton]

People can see enough for themselves, they don't need coaching badges or a stint as a TV pundit.

It looks as if he isn't applying himself to the fullest extent. It seems to me there is a high chance of that summation being correct, without seeking to complicate it.

Im not slating him. We need him right now. But we need more.

I’ve just said it’s not that simple though? It’s not a case of saying he prefers fashion to football, I’m saying it is - theoretically - possible that other interests are acting as a distraction from his job. It’s a perfectly normal situation that I’m sure many of us have been in and that many footballers are undoubtedly in. The only difference would be that his other interests are more public and so easier to speculate on.

If fashion is undermining DCLs performance on the pitch, anyone know what habits are messing with the others? I reckon Michael Keane is well into cheese making and Andre Gomes is too fixated on his real ale homebrewing side hustle. Apparently they both sell loads to Andy Carroll. Strange world.

Just reign it in then, when 10’s of thousands Evertonians are sick of seeing piss poor performances every week

 

[Dixie1sixty]

Just read that since Lampard came in we have provided a grand total of 0 crosses whilst DCL has been on the pitch.

And you crabs are still slating him ?.

Keane plays like he’s full of cheese and Gomes looks like he’s been on
the ale when he plays, so I think you could be onto something there.
