2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[The binman chronicles]

….finishing like Nat Lofthouse in the training clips but seems to be going through the motions on the pitch. Not playing on the front foot, sometimes a player needs to force himself out of a spell like his. A shadow of his former self.

He needs to get that anger he had at the start of the season when he snapped back at the fans.

Has there ever been a striker in the league that's played so many games without scoring?

Difficult to argue with that.

My points just from yesterday, non exhaustive and from a Guiness addled memory !

- Can't retain the ball (with purpose)
- Devoid of creativity
- No pace, literally none
- Can't cross, won't cross
- Long ball, no retention (see first point)
- No balance, two left footed wingers
- Lack confidence
- Below average football IQ

I could go on. Just frustrates me now. So joyless watching us these days. Never anything to gey excited about.

My older brother has watched the blues since the mid 1950s spoke to him last night - worst blues team he has ever seen ever ...

I don't care what you say.

I love Sean, he is the absolute best.

Not fair to hold that one against him though, at least every other striker who hasn’t scored gets the luck of Everton in the fixture list. Poor Dom dosnt

I don't think it's a coincidence that his only period of looking like a decent finisher came during a spell playing behind closed doors.

Could not agree more, an absolutely rubbish performance once again, lack of quality in the team is astounding, watching them playing Bournemouth was hard work.

 

[Goat]

I don't think it's a coincidence that his only period of looking like a decent finisher was under a football manager with a clue.

Agreed.

He didn’t even look like a decent finisher then tbh.

DCL is a great example of how being an athlete is more important than actual footballing ability in the modern game.

The lad possesses absolutely no ‘natural’ skill or quality at all but can probably nail a bleep test.

About to break into the top ten!

….the side footer he had saved yesterday needed to go across the keeper, goalscorers have a picture of the situation in their mind including where the keeper will be.

 

[Carlito]

Agreed.

I nearly 'liked' that as well, you swine.

 

[Delargeinho]

Do you think Solanke had a lot of service yesterday? He scored his only shot with a header that was not that easy to take even.
