2022/23 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[arch stanton]

He's still young, strikers are in their prime the 25-30 range, stay fit and he is massive for us and how we play

Thighs like the pillars of the Parthenon

….the concern is what’s underneath the outer coating.

Prime anatomical age for any professional athlete is 26-29 (give or take a little) so he is almost right on it, he is 25 that's not really young in a football sense.

so you are saying he is younger than the prime anatomical age for a professional athlete then at 25, and has a 3 year range at that level, but he's not young. OK.

It's annoying as if he keeps scoring I would be surprised if Southgate doesn't take him but I really hope he stays at home. As many of us thought, his fitness is crucial between a comfortable mid-table season or not.

 

[Neiler]

The difference yesterday between scrapping a result and winning comfortably, we arent scoring the first or second goals without him - that the difference he can make.

The value of that to us over a season is incalculable.

 

[Drico]

Can we keep him fit? I really hope Southgate leaves him out because as much as going to the World Cup would boost him - and his transfer value - I don't think Everton will benefit much from that in the short term. Lampard needs to have a proper contingency now. He needs a viable plan B.

No, I'm saying he is coming into his prime/peak years soon, these are the years you would hope to get the best out of him. Young in a football sense is 16/17 not 25 mate. It's a short career at the end of the day.

Well taken finish

 

[Jager24]

I really hope Southgate doesn't take him to this pointless worldcup.

 

[Rita_Poon]

We are half a side without him, and not a good half.

 

[Toffeelover]

I really hope Southgate doesn't take him to this pointless worldcup.

I hope so, not being and keeping fit will be a good rest for him.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Where are the posters that said he was finished?
Show yourselves

 

[Richard Alex]

We look much better with a focal point. DCL does make a huge difference to us when he’s fit and on the pitch
Problem with us is that other parts of the pitch have improved massively but having a forward line takes you forward massively.
We haven’t had a forward line with fit players for about 18 months or so. So hope he stays fit

When he shouted "megs" before pushing Geuhi over like he was a small child and slotting was the type of snide I like to see
