2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Bluerover]

I am an Evertonian, I have been an Evertonian for 58 years, I have seen some very good centre forwards in my time DLC is not one of them. He flatterers to deceive.

He hasn't deceived me over the past number of seasons - that is when he has actually played on the pitch.

Not the only one by any means but I have really lost interest in so many of these clowns that I don't get upset after rubbish performances like yesterday.

I have been an Evertonian for 55 years so I completely agree with your analysis.

Another season of turgid dross from a group of grossly overpaid underachievers awaits us.

 

[Tel001]

Honestly would rather see Maupay get a run out than DCL and Beto

Woah woah mate .

I understand we are all upset and we all say things in the heat of the moment … but Kiera not say something that we will later regret ok?

 

[Tel001]

Really. He was making some decent runs out wide, one in the second half where he pulled out wide and got a cross into the six yard box but Doucs was about 10 yards off reading it.

Basically it was a sign for Harrison and McNeill to do it but after a bright start from Harrison he just went back to holding hands with Young once the Brighton wide players went back into the game.

That's the fundamental problem with Dycheball. The wide players are primarily selected for most games to be second FBs in most games. Need to get a better RB in so there isn't such a need to protect Young/Coleman.

Minteh is exactly the type of wide player this club needs to sign sooner or later if it wants to eventually challenge for top 8 again so pretty jealous watching the impact he made for the goal.

Mate , for a player that likes to describe homely as “rapid” … what would be the ideal thing for him to play against? A high line right? Plenty of space in behind to run into? Use your “rapid” speed?

Brighton were playing a very high line and he was after just walking back or jogging back to get onside… zero urgency to get I position for when we won the ball back when pressing…. He’s a Carlton Cole level striker and I have said it for years and been slated for it.. he looked “ok” yesterday because doucs was 10 times worse and therfore drew most of our attention away from how lacklustre dom was … making 3 “good” runs in an hour of football is not good.

Should have moved on ages ago.

 

[Zatara]

Not good business by the club letting it go down to the wire. Need to start making sure that the only players left with one year on their deal are those that aren't important at all, otherwise if it gets to two years and they don't want to be here, get rid.

2 years
Garner
Mykolenko
Tarkowski

It's symptomatic of the rudderless leadership from the top in a way that he is still here because he doesn't want to stay, in a sense they're terrified of having to replace him and when you look at the strikers we have brought in during the last ten years they have every right to be. Bournemouth have sold their striker, Villa sold Grealish and kicked on, Wolves have sold Neto. Other teams trust their recruitment we do not. But we desperately need a full back and a new forward for me if that means selling Dom it has to be done.

 

[billyblue80]

Might be another “arteta money” situation. Something already agreed in principle that will go through on deadline day. We get a loan in as replacement. Obviously I could be way off on that.

Could be why Broja hasn't gone anywhere yet

 

[sithbaare]

Yeah , DCL can go. We need the money to invest in other areas.

He's far too injury prone , and generally a bit average too.

 

[TheBigIguana]

If he’s not signing a new deal fine, that’s his prerogative and he’s entitled to look out for himself. However he’s not good enough for us to just play him anyway. Frankly he’s barely good enough to play regardless. As is we’re better served giving as many minutes as we can to Beto and Chermiti once fit again.

 

[jackyboy]

Echo have told me we're a much better side when he plays and it's not all about his goal return. A spicy one I'll give them that

 

[PhilEFC]

Get rid. Doesn’t want to be here, and thinks he’s better than he is.

 

[NathDogg]

He’s playing with the handbrake on.

Beto did more when he came on.

 

[gazzaa2]

Horrible dive. We shouldn't be about that

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Horrible dive. We shouldn't be about that

Literally what top players do. Brighton players went down clutching heads even if it were knock on ankle they did it everytime we started to build momentum, was literally part of their tactics, often is with teams that come to Goodison is to shut us up getting behind team.

 

[Blueclouds]

He overrated but I think most strikers would struggle with the hoof approach. I'm not too bothered if he goes.
