2021/22 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Last two games he's been immense for us, winning every header going. He's absolutely good enough to be that driving force to bring us success.
I mean, he missed so many headers again last night. He jumped about a minute early again. But he was superb at times and that determination from him was a delight to see. That diving header was an absolute delight!
 
Then buy overrated European star strikers like e.g. Keane - I feel Rhico will be the one who leaves sadly if we lose both we are in big trouble again next season - we can get enough cash by selling the rest of the deadwood tbh - Jus wages alone will bpoost our ability to spend no need to sell your silverware IMO......
Well said Joey, without your interpreter as well?
How you doing Joey? Did you have a good night, some goal from DCL last night.
 
Been a tough year for DCL. Never had injuries like it before, and in a team that doesn’t create chances.

Lots have questioned his work ethic, but he’s not looked fit at times to me.

Last few games I think he’s been excellent, won everything in the air, worked his socks off, and got rewarded last night. Seeing the interviews he’s given, it’s hard to dislike the guy.

If he goes, he goes, but I’d like to see him next season in a team that creates plenty of chances, hopefully that’s with us.
Don't blame anyone if they go, times have changed and there's no loyalty in football anymore, will be saddened but not surprised if both him and Ritchie are away next season.
 

I said Richarlson would score 20+ a season at Madrid or City and was booed off.

Like Danny said we don’t create enough, then get frustrated when they get 1 or 2 chances a game and don’t bury it. No players are getting 100% goal rate with only a couple of chances a game. It’s impossible.
Agree with every word. He’s managed to score ten goals this season in a team with those stats. Playing in a team with a functioning midfield, given some support, that play higher up the pitch and create chances, it’s hardly a stretch to say he’d easily get 15/20 goals a season. Same for Dom if fit.

If we remain true to form, we’ll probably sell the pair of them, replace them with poorer players and keep the crap midfield….and then wonder why we’re getting worse.
 
Not sure he'll be here next season, if he is we need full backs who can cross, and centre midfielders who can pass the ball forward.

"Calvert-Lewin alone was presented with 31 big chances last season, when he didn't take penalties. This season he's had 6, 3 from open play, 3 penalties. And, the worst part - Everton's entire squad have only had 28 big chances between them."

We're 19th for chances created, only Norwich worse.

20th for 'big chances missed'

Just dont create anything
Completely agree.

I think (hope) last night was a good indication that we can do better even before any upgrades.

Lampard has been - understandably - safety first with 3 at the back but the change to 4, with a pretty attacking midfield 3 yielded 3 goals in a half.

Big job #1 is to get better players in the positions you mentioned and big job #2 is getting the players to rid themselves of their perpetual inferiority complex. I know we’re not a boss squad on paper but with a bit of belief and adventure about our play we should be 5-7 places up that table at least.
 
It's that kind of intervention from Dom we've been crying out for this last few months. And the real reason behind a lot of the flak he's been getting.

We know he can do it, we've needed him to, but he's not been firing on all cylinders. A fit and confident DCL is an asset.

Hopefully he gets a good preseason and hits the ground running next season.

Joey, normally I'd feel the same and dread who we're going to lose and which dross we're about to sign. Only thing is I really do trust Lampard to do the right things this summer. If anyone can get Richie to stay he can, and get his own stamp on the team by August kick off time.

Agreed. Wouldn’t blame either of em for going. Sure Richy has had offers before, and think there’ll be offers there for both of em.

Would love em both to stay, but if they go, they shouldn’t go cheap and we rebuild.

He missed one header that way. And he told the team afterwards to play the ball a bit lower.

He won pretty much everything in the air last night.

In tears my memories of aged 11 years old in 1966 when we looked dead & buried at 2-0 down to come back to a 3-2 win was nail biting - no trophy, but just as important for us -

Myself my blood sugars have not been responding to insulin so now on both Insulin & another injection of GLP1 - dont tell @COYBL25 -

He will be jealous of the new drug I am on lol
