2021/22 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

I hate to say I told you so , but …..

Harry Kane said it first

I’m convinced Rondon would offer more at the moment. DCL just isn’t matching the work rate of Richarlison and Gordon

 

[Thomasc]

Just sell to the highest bidder in the summer.

He’s been abysmal since returning from injury and was limited enough prior to that.

He’s a player we can afford to lose.

Add Iwobi to that list as well.

 

[banno]

There is much better at the fraction of the price we get. I must say Brett Angel is looking a decent player if put side by side

 

[Saint Domingo]

Add Iwobi to that list as well.

We’re just not playing the sort of game where James or Siggurdson are curling crosses in for him. The best he’s probably going to get in terms of service that suits him is a pull back from Gordon or Richarlison, but the most likely source currently is a through ball from one of the others three attackers and he’s just not the right type of player to take those sort of balls and finish them. Never has been.

I think we’ll end up selling both him and Richarlison in the summer but if Lampard gets the funds to reinvest I’d be amazed if he asked for a number 9 like DCL, just don’t think he suits the tactics he wants to play.

 

[Tel001]

When you're playing at Goodison at 12.30 but due back at school after hours to study hold up play for 2.30

He’s probably struggling with the balance of being a pro footballer and studying for his GSCE’S

 

[Dixie1sixty]

Awobi pressed their defence the ran the full pitch to help mayalenko, take note mate that's what evertonians want just put a shift in and goals will come

Awobi?

He has lost all confidence mentally at the same time that has lost confidence in his body. I feel for him.

I don't understand why so many on here are almost enjoying getting stuck into him. He is a professional footballer that has scored a number of goals for Everton and has never been anything but respectful.

The crowd needs to get off his back and try to lift him. In fairness, he can help that by appearing to show more physical effort.

This season still has a number of twists and turns and we need him to score 3-4 goals in the run in to keep us up.

 

[JLW]

Its best for all parties that he leaves in the summer but in the meantime pull your tripe out and get us a few goals to help keep us in the league because that's what you're paid to do. If he's struggling for form it still doesn't stop him from grafting his bollocks off.

Watching him yesterday in huge game at home against Utd in a great atmosphere his head has totally gone from this club.

 

[chicoazul]

Head's gone. I blame @chicoazul with all the photoshops. Ruined a man's career.

You only need to see the dars scurrying about feeling smited that a young confident male has spoken back, with compassion and honesty, to understand where the problem is.

I’ve been saying it for years but until we tackle these entitled, perma nark sometimes borderline bigoted slugs then it is they who help compromise Everton’s revival.

I urge the forum and sound posters to draw a line in the sand and fight back against it, before it’s too late.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I’ll give him the benefit of a doubt as he just came back from injury, but if he is still here come next season he needs to return with the work rate.

He is really good at making a nuisance of himself and acting as a foil for others at the top of his game. Even showed that he can put them away under Carlo. I just don’t want another Schneiderlin situation where the player inexplicably downs tools.

Knowing our transfer history we’d bring in someone a million times worse to replace him.

Agree, he’s clearly struggling at the moment but he’s been written off by folk before. He’s always had a good attitude, works hard, loves the club - has earned respect after seasons of graft and improvement against the odds. Am definitely not enjoying criticising him but as you say, he’s looked poor, very far off what we know he can give. Still a fan.

 

[Zatara]

Utter Rubbish btw. I don’t demand or expect goals. I demand effort.

When Richarlison and Gordon are either side of him are running themselves into the ground, and he’s jogging round, looking uninterested, maybe that’s the issue.

So much wrong with his tweet.

1. People choose what they want to read? Don't do countless interviews if your uppity about your words being misused.

2. Don't put your on pitch conduct on a pedastal. It's beyond poor and I wouldn't highlight the fact its in your control.

3. This club whom has shaped you into the man you are today. If you think that then tell your PR people to get your interviews out at a more appropriate time than when individuals jobs are on the precipice of being lost.

4. Less talking and more goals.

lol lol


"Judge me on goals, which will come"


That's like me telling Warren Buffet, "judge me on my profits, which will come."


I'm not going to list out his limitations as a footballer because I'll get cramp in my thumbs typing it out. He is the play he is and that's fine.

All players go through bad patches, look at Keane, Maguire on the other side.

But you have to do something different to get out of that rut and he simply isn't doing anything. No one else is going to change it for him, he has to change himself first.

"Judge me on my..."

Sounds like the famous phonecall from Wolf of Wall Street.

He's either...

A: Massively out of form

B: Mentally wrecked

C: Damaged due to the injuries

D: Had his head turned


Under Ancelotti he looked like a top notch centre forward just two levels below the very best.

Effort and dedication like we saw from him in the past, and now with Gordon...could have taken him to be a £100mil value player one level below the best.

Instead hes become a massive liability.

I think Lampard will need to decide if he can get back his mojo next season...if not then hes booted.
