2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[smileychap]

He isn’t scoring 10 in 20 mate. That’s unrealistic expectations.

If he got 10 in 30 it would be a good return when you think he will likely be rotating with Beto. I’d expect 6/7 from 20.

Form-wise he's on 2 in 2 (albeit that's one league, one cup). So that leaves 7 goals (my target was 8 to 10 goals) from an available 32 and our next games are against Luton and Bournemouth.

Such a good finish that, what on earth was Olsen doing though haha.

He looks very sharp. We need to keep him fit.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

ease DCL in.

Jesus kin christ our fans man, now it's Beto's turn to not be good enough for Everton after a few games. I don't even know why there has to be a direct comparison, they can both contribute.

He's played less than 2 premier League games in his career .

Looked very sharp, pity could not convert his other two close finishes.

8-10 in 34 is different to 8-10 in 20.

Beto is a cracking signing in more ways than one. DCL will benefit from both competition for the first time at everton, and also proper cover to allow him to play only when fully fit. Why it's taken so long to put this in place is a scandal.

Over the moon for him. He's a brilliant player, so many fantastic attributes. Here's hoping the slow and careful approach is working out. It's great that we've got a quality understudy who can come in and ease Dom back to playing 90 minutes.

I'm also starting to feel myself getting carried away... there was that spell under Ancelotti where you just knew he was going to score in every game, and I'm slipping into that mindset again ahead of Saturday.

8-10 in 34 is different to 8-10 in 20.

I'm saying he'll bang them in within the 20, but has 32 games in which to rest, play be injured etc... I.e. for the first time in yonks stats are largely on his side!

Love this man

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Competition for places is a good thing???

 

[COYBL25]

Beto isn't good enough to lace DCL's boots

Does he worship the wrong Jesus too ?

Beto isn't good enough to lace DCL's boots

Can't understand this zero-sum attitude. Just because you like a player doesn't mean you have to dislike another.

There's room for both, and judging Beto now is - frankly - dumb.

 

[Tel001]

Now, now, we don't do sensible nuanced vews around here. Wait until DCL misses a chance and it'll be "Beto would have scored that"

Tbf I think Beto would have scored the rebound from the first one on one from Harrison’s pass.

Danjuma should also have laid his blocked shot on a plate for DCL.

Danjuma’s lack of awareness or selfishness is a concern for me.

Sheff utd game also springs to mind
