2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[maccavennie]

One on one against Villa wasn't bad either. 16 games is desperate stuff.

It's unacceptable mate. It's desperate to keep selecting him.

 

[evertony]

He’s been injured most of it and we’ve quite clearly been a better team when he’s played.
Memories of goldfish some of youse.

He’s just completed 16 games without scoring. Maybe he’s the goldfish and he’s forgotten what he’s meant to do.

 

[ToffeeTim]

He needs to do better. The team needs him

16 games though hahahahahahaa wonder what the longest streak without a goal for a starting striker in the league is.

 

[MikeH72]

Halloween decorations were up when he last scored.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Calvert-Lewin is finished.... we could get a few quid for him to re-invest, Beto or Chermiti for the rest of the season couldn`t do any worse.

Do you genuinely think he played badly?

 

[evertony]

He is all we have and it is unlikely anyone else is on the horizon but please continue ripping him to shreds.

Accepting that he has been really poor for a good while isn’t ripping him to shreds. Put your head in the sand and keep thinking he’s going to score a decent level of goals if you like, but we really need a finisher. And my opinion is it’s not DCL. Again, that’s not ripping him a new one, it’s just being realistic. He’s never been a great finisher.

Do you genuinely think he played badly?

Clearly bereft of confidence, but yes.

Didn't Saha go a calendar year without scoring fo us?

 

[Lobworm]

Clearly bereft of confidence, but yes.

Opinions and that. He's hit the bar, had a last ditch tackle prevent him from shooting from 5 yards out, he's held the ball up well, and assisted Harrison with a potential sitter, he got back and defended both on the deck and in the air. A goal exacerbates all that of course, and most people will judge him on his goals and nowt else, as he's a striker and 'that's his job'. However, his overall team performance was decent, imo like.

 

[MikeH72]

Didn't Saha go a calendar year without scoring fo us?

11 months it was yeah. February 2010 - January 2011.

Tim Cahill also didn’t score in the entire calendar year of 2011.

 

[maccavennie]

Do you genuinely think he played badly?

No, I don't think he played great either.

He's a striker. His job is to score goals.

He hasn't scored a single goal in 13 PL games and 16 games in total.

That is completely unacceptable as a striker.
