2022/23 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[coollino]

Morning to Dom and all of this fans

 

[Toffeelover]

All hail GOT's medical experts.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin will come good after an unfortunate spell of luck.

His class is permanent.

I can't help thinking, like Gordon before him, some of the ire shown in this thread is down to how he looks and dresses. Sad times.

We need him now out there not just every other game or 60 minutes at a time.

The Yak was great until his achilles went. Proper goal scorer who could find the net in all sorts of scenarios.
Needed proper grafters around him though as he did next to nothing else ?

Probably my favourite Everton striker. Just had a gift for taking shots early or not when you expected him to. Most goals just caught the keeper out.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Made of polystyrene.

Gutted he is out for this.

 

[MikeH72]

Broken!!
??
It’s called injured

Why does it matter what terminology someone uses? He’s not available to play football, that’s the fact of the matter.

Remember when he bounced that Liverpool defender. Happy times

 

[God Benfrey]

So is he officially out for the derby then ?

No

I agree.
The lad has some talent but not up to the rigours of full time training and matches.
We should be allowing a system wher we concentrate on getting him on the pitch - like Ledley king and Paul McGrath - if this involves reduced training So be it

100% this.
DCL training won’t get us points to keep us in this division in this abject period of our history. Having him on the pitch for 60-90 minutes a week might just help us considering the current alternatives.
I couldn’t give a toss if he’s sat in Finch Farm swapping fashion tips with Tom and politely eating croissants whilst sipping espresso from a small china cup as long as he’s focussed on the next competitive game. Whatever schedule enables his body or mentality to cope is the correct approach by both player and club.

Even when playing badly, always felt we were still in the game when he was in the team. That’s the value of a real goalscorer.

If you have a piece of equipment in a key operating line at work in a position that’s critical to being able to function as a business you normally replace it or at least give it a professional overhaul whilst the new, upgraded version is built. You don’t get emotional about it and leave it in the line hoping it’ll revert to its original efficacy.
Whilst DCL is not a machine and has feelings and emotions the end result of you doing nothing is the same. No production or at best sub-standard production, customer complaints, returns, loss of business and ultimately closure. I’m sure DCL isn’t faking anything and it’s genuine - but as is often said the Club is bigger and more important than any one individual.
Failing to bring in even a stop-gap forward is gross negligence.

Says the guy who called Dwight McNeil ‘rapid’. ?

 

[MACCA75]

Absolutely this

Mate have you not embarrassed yourself enough on this forum? It’s painful.

Why?

Continuing with that logic, we wouldn't have bought Peter Reid or Andy Gray, as they were faulty equipment before they came to us
